#25: Erin Jackson: Speedy Skater
There are some sports in the Olympic games that might make some people question how people ever got into them in the first place, but that doesn’t make them any less impressive. Erin Jackson is an inline speed skater for the American Olympic team, who, for the first time, brought home the gold for her own team in 2022 at the Beijing Olympic Games.
There is nothing more mesmerizing than watching someone take on an ice rink in the same way that Erin Jackson does. Her 2022 gold medal win was not only a great achievement for her team but also for herself. Although Jackson has a passion for skating, she graduated from the University of Florida with honors from the Materials Science & Engineering Program.
