AI Summary
American speedskater Brittany Bowe and other athletes are looking forward to the upcoming Winter Olympics in Milan after a disappointing experience at the 2022 Beijing Games. Due to strict COVID-19 protocols in Beijing, most spectators were barred, leaving venues largely empty and diminishing the joy of medal wins for athletes like Bowe and teammate Casey Dawson. Dawson, who also faced pre-Games COVID-19 challenges and lost luggage, felt the pandemic tainted the experience. The upcoming Olympics mark the return of paying fans since the 2018 Pyeongchang Games, which athletes like Dawson believe will provide crucial support and energy during competition. Athletes are eager to share their accomplishments with a live audience.
