The 29-year-old Jackson joins fellow American Shani Davis as the only Black athlete to win speedskating medals at the Olympics. The silver went to Miho Takagi of Japan. Angelina Golikova of the Russian team took the bronze.
BEIJING — Erin Jackson made history on a frenetic dash around Beijing's magnificent speedskating oval.
While Jackson doesn't look at herself as some sort of trailblazer, she recognizes the significance of the moment. She hopes her victory will encourage other people of color to take up winter sports. Jackson's gold was the first speedskating medal for the U.S. during the Beijing Games. The team won just one medal four years ago in Pyeongchang and was shut out at the 2014 Sochi Games.
