Proud of every single athlete on this team.

Everyone had such a fantastic time at 2026 Tour of Olympians this weekend!

Proud is an understatement. 🖤⛸️

Congrats to the 28 skaters who competed for Team Potomac. Thank you to US Speedskating and Bay State Speedskating Club for putting on a great race at the beautiful and historic The Skating Club of Boston rink, and to all the volunteers whose blood, sweat and tears made it possible.
