19 Women Athletes to Watch at the 2022 Olympics

Sport: Ice dance
Country: USA

Coming off their second straight national title, Madison Chock and Evan Bates have all the momentum they need to make Beijing their best Olympic showing yet, following eighth- and ninth-place finishes in 2014 and 2018. Chock and Bates are known for their difficult, creative lifts and the intricate storylines that they bring to the ice, usually accompanied by contemporary music; this year, the pair went with Billie Eilish for their rhythm dance and Daft Punk for their alien-themed free dance. (Fun fact: Chock also designs their costumes.) This feels like the year for Chock and Bates, so make sure you're watching when they take the ice.
