   Tanner Lopez

   No one said it would be easy, but it's all worth it when I'm out on the slopes with my board.

3. 00:15
   

   Claire Hardt

   When I'm on the ice, I feel alive. It's my purpose.

4. 00:20
   

   Gertie Burper

   I hate the luge. It's way too fast. It scares me to death, and I seriously hate it.

   Speaker 1

   16 gripping winter sports.

6. 00:30
   

   Tanner Lopez

   I've been wanting this my whole life. I'm living my dream.

7. 00:33
   

   Gertie Burper

   This is a nightmare. I hate the thing I'm good at.

   Over 2,000 athletes, but only the best of the best will bring home the gold.

9. 00:42
   

   Claire Hardt

   I've trained for this since I was four years old.

    You just gotta want it. No one's born the best.

11. 00:47
    

    Gertie Burper

    In luge, being the best is sort of just a height and weight distribution thing. I honestly think a corpse that's my same shape could win.

    Every athlete brings something different to the table.

13. 00:57

18. 01:22
    

    Lars Sorenson

    Well, coaching Gertie is a battle. Trying to get her on the sled, get her down the hill, Get her to stop freaking out and pretending to be sick, etc.

19. 01:34
    

    Gertie Burper

    I'm sick!

20. 01:35

33. 02:06
    

    Tanner Lopez

    Before a competition, the name of the game is focus.

34. 02:09
    

    Gertie Burper

    The name of the game for me is to confuse and ultimately silence my survival instinct.

35. 02:14

    Speaker 1

    See if they have what it takes to win.

36. 02:16
