Cue lab-quality COVID-19 tests are at-home, molecular tests that need no prescription or special training to use.

No one can blame you for not being able to peel your eyes away from Olympic figure skating — but between the sport’s complicated scoring system, the vast number of jumps and other skills the skaters perform, and the onslaught of sequins, it’s OK if you’re feeling as overwhelmed as you are fascinated. Each of

In their second Olympic Games together, Team USA’s Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohue won ice dance bronze. The skaters finished just off the podium at the 2018 Olympics and came into the Beijing free dance on Feb. 14 (Feb. 13 in the US) in third place following the rhythm-dance portion two days prior. Their combined

If you are looking for an amazing booty and abs workout, you’ve come to the right place. In this routine, fitness trainer Nikki Keeshin takes you through 30 minutes of her signature glute and core exercises — like hydrant circles, glute-bridge pyramids, and corkscrew reverse crunches — that you will definitely feel tomorrow. Add a

Many of us spend our whole lives performing. Sometimes we don’t realize we’re doing it; sometimes we know but can’t stop — or don’t feel safe enough to do so. It happens in spaces where we feel like we can’t be ourselves, where we feel like we don’t belong because our identity — race, gender,

Freestyle skier Eileen Gu wears many hats — most recently, Olympic champ — but the one that may be most important to her is role model. Gu, who was born and raised in California, has been outspoken about her mission to inspire young Chinese skiers since making the decision to compete for China back in

Figure skating is probably best known for its explosive jumps, which is why you might find Olympic ice dancing — the only discipline where jumping isn’t required — to be a nice change of pace. Ice-dance programs are composed exclusively of intricate footwork sequences and other dance-inspired elements like lifts, but the thing that probably

You’d be silly to think the world of nondairy milks has reached its limit because, as demonstrated by the plethora to choose from — soy, almond, cashew, oat, and even milk made from potatoes and pea protein — nondairy-milks can be made out of anything. So why stop there? Is there another grain we can

If you’re watching curling at the Winter Olympics (and really, how could you not?), you might have noticed something unusual about the stones used in competition: a set of lights near the handles that glow green from time to time. In a sport that’s mostly conducted using low-tech equipment like chunks of granite and “brooms,”

Nathan Chen dazzled in the men’s figure skating competition at the Beijing Winter Olympics, claiming a gold medal he still can’t believe he won. He vied for that top spot with a world-record-setting short program followed by a quad-filled long program — and his signature dance break did not disappoint. Chen’s free skate was largely

Trimetazidine, also known as TMZ, is a drug used to treat the heart condition angina, so it might seem strange that it’s also considered a banned substance by the World Anti-Doping Association (WADA). That’s because WADA lists trimetazidine as a “metabolic modulator,” a type of drug that, according to a 2011 review, effects the heart

The flips and tricks that snowboarders perform can seem nearly impossible, but athletes just keep finding ways to push the boundaries of their sport. The triple cork trick has been a regular feature in slopestyle for some time — but at the 2022 Winter Olympics, it might just be a deciding factor in the men’s

If you’re a proud owner of a weighted blanket, you’re probably already aware how much of a game changer they are. Although they may cost a pretty penny, weighted blankets have been scientifically proven to ease anxiety and decrease stress, all while improving your quality of sleep. That being said, you’ll want to ensure you’re

Figure skater Kamila Valieva of the Russian Olympic Committee has tested positive for trimetazidine, a substance banned by the World Anti-Doping Association (WADA), NBC confirmed in its primetime broadcast on Feb. 9. There was no update on how this will affect the results of the figure skating team competition, where Valieva skated two programs to

For Nathan Chen, the 2022 Olympics in Beijing were about proving that he could do what he does so well — skate dazzling, quad-packed routines — under the pressure of the Olympic spotlight. After the men’s free skate on Feb. 9 (Feb. 10 in Beijing), Chen’s status is secured. His brilliant free skate, along with

Beijing 2022 marks Lindsey Jacobellis’s fifth Winter Olympics, and on Feb. 9, she clinched snowboard cross Olympic gold for the very first time. It was also Team USA’s first gold at these Beijing Games, and NBC Sports’s On Her Turf reports that, at 36, she’s now the oldest American woman to win a medal at

The 2022 Beijing Olympics are well underway, and we’ve already seen medals and record-breaking performances. In figure skating, Nathan Chen performed his highest-scoring short program ever in the team event, only to beat that score days later in the individual short-program competition. The “Quad King” also set a new short-program world record with his individual

The Winter Olympics are arguably more about speed than anything else. You know speed skating is fast because “speed” is literally in the name, and if you’ve ever tuned in to downhill skiing, you know how fast those athletes fly. Incredibly, though, luge is considered the fastest sport at the Games. According to the official

She may be heading into her second Winter Olympics, but mark our words: Chloe Kim is just getting started. After taking an extended break from the sport, the 21-year-old snowboarder is back in action, recently winning her sixth consecutive competition since her debut last season. After clinching back-to-back world championships, Kim is a near shoo-in

Nathan Chen is leaving PyeongChang where it belongs (at least for him): in the past. After posting a career-best short program in the 2022 Olympics team event, Chen went and pushed even higher in the individual short program, scoring a stunning 113.97. That was enough to top the standings, yes, but it also set a
