The long-track speed skater will compete at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials this January at Milwaukee’s Pettit National Ice Center, where athletes will race for a spot on Team USA at the 2026 Winter Games in Italy. Blair grew up surrounded by speed skating greatness. Her mom, Bonnie Blair, is a five-time gold medalist, and her dad, David Cruikshank, competed in four Games. Blair, who had no intentions of following in her parents' path, became hooked the first time she laced up a pair of speed skates.
