Michaela Schifrin

I have a challenged relationship with racing.

But when I get to do it like this today, then that was wonderful.

Pressure can exist, but pressure is a privilege, and I'm grateful for that.

I think there's a lot of hardship in the world globally.

And there's a lot of heartbreak.

There's a lot of violence.

It can be tough to reconcile that when you're also competing for

medals, and an Olympic event.

I actually have some thoughts.

I can read something that I had written, if you guys don't mind.

So last night at the opening ceremonies, Charlize Theron, she had quoted Nelson Mandela.

And I don't have the quote off the top of my mind because I'm not brilliant.

Peace is not just the absence of conflict.

Peace is the creation of an environment where we can all flourish, regardless of race, color, creed, religion, gender, class, caste, or any other social markers of difference.

And for me, as this relates to the Olympics, I'm really hoping to show up and represent my own values, values of inclusivity, values of diversity and kindness and sharing.

Good question.

Who is Bad Bunny going to bring out during halftime?

Did they have a song together?

I think the best thing is making it to the finish of this GS at this time of the year.

That would rank that above everything else.
