Kristen Santos-Griswold (USA) is one of the most exciting and dynamic Short Track speed skaters that her country has produced for many years – but after a cruel Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games at which she didn’t get the results she craved, she became unsure of her future in the sport.
This season, however, Santos-Griswold has been at her lethal best – winning bags of medals (including a remarkable hat-trick of golds at the ISU Four Continents Championships), putting herself in contention for the prized ISU Crystal Globe trophy and looking forward to another shot at glory at Milan-Cortina 2026.
It’s been a long and emotional journey for the American, who admits in this emotional film how she has struggled with the unforgiving nature of her sport.
Watch now to find out all about how she has bounced back, what she finds all-consuming, her plans for life after skating, and how she is making sure she has “fun along the way”…
