Erin Jackson is skating a path for Black women in winter sports. Here are the fast facts to know before cheering her on ⬇️ 🥇 At the 2022 Beijing Games, Erin Jackson made history as the first Black woman to win an individual gold medal at the Winter Olympics when she won the 500m event. 🤝 In 2002, Erin met Brittany Bowe - her @US Speedskating teammate - while watching her compete with the U.S. Inline Skating World Championship Team. Brittany's journey to speed skating inspired Erin's own transition onto the ice. 🛼 Erin didn't know how to ice skate just one year before qualifying for her first Olympic games. Ten years later, she's headed to the 2026 Milano-Cortina Games, marking her third Olympic appearance. 😳 Erin Jackson almost didn't make the 2022 Olympic Team. A slip in the 500m at Trials put her one spot out of qualification, until Brittney Bowe gave up her spot, setting the stage for Erin's historic gold medal victory. ✌️ After becoming the first American to win the Olympic 500m race since 1994, Erin Jackson is now looking to defend her title and become one of the few Americans with back-to-back wins in this event. @Team USA #erinjackson #speedskating #teamusa #winterolympics #milanocortina2026
