Team USA’s uniforms for the opening ceremony of the Beijing winter Olympics use new “groundbreaking” warming technology. Official outfitter of Team USA, Ralph Lauren, uses “Intelligent Insulation,” that responds to cooler temperatures by expanding and adding an extra layer. America is changing faster than ever! Add Changing America to your Facebook or Twitter feed to stay on top of the news. “Ralph Lauren has defined American style for over five decades, and we’re thrilled that Team USA will once again wear this cutting-edge, sustainable and iconic apparel at the Olympic and Paralympic Games,” said Sarah Hirshland, chief executive officer of the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee in a statement. “America’s elite athletes have worked a lifetime for the opportunity to represent the United States on the world stage. We thank Ralph Lauren for celebrating and supporting them, and for pushing the boundaries when developing apparel that serves a purpose for Team USA.” The “Intelligent Insulation” technology adapts to changes in the air temperature around the wearer without the use of any battery-powered or wired technology. Instead, the fabric is made up of two materials that expand or contract at different rates depending on how hot or cold the air is surrounding the wearer which allows the fabric to create more insulation if needed. Ralph Lauren teamed up with Skyscrape, a textile innovation company, to create the new fabric. The games are scheduled to kick off on Feb. 4.

United States speed skater Brittany Bowe will get to compete in the 500m race at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics after all. Earlier this month, the 33-year-old athlete gave up her spot in the event to Erin Jackson, who finished in third at the qualifying race behind first-place Bowe and second-place Kimi Goetz, leaving her one spot shy of making Team USA. But Bowe will now have her own shot at winning Olympic gold in the women's 500m, as the U.S. has picked up an extra spot after some countries returned quota spots for the event, according to NBC Sports. During the U.S. long-track speed skating trials on Jan. 7, a slip on the ice led Jackson, 29, to place third in the 500m qualifier. Jackson, who is ranked No. 1 in the world in the race, told NBC Sports after the race that she "couldn't turn my brain off" and that having the sport be "in limbo for so long" made her situation "really stressful." Two days later, Bowe announced that she had relinquished her spot in the 500m race at the Winter Games to her fellow female athlete. Bowe had also qualified in the 1000m and 1500m, so her decision did not affect her own ability to compete in the Games.
