If you’re a fan of sports on the ice, you’re likely familiar with Maame Biney’s impressive feats. The skater’s skills propelled her to the world’s biggest stage in 2018, where she became the first Black woman to make a US Olympic short-track speed skating team. Biney also secured her spot on the US Olympic team in 2022. #WINSday

The speed skater was born in Ghana but grew up in Virginia near the DC area. She announced her retirement from the sport last year on social media, saying she was “deeply grateful for the journey.”
