Erin Jackson
Erin Jackson’s journey to Olympic gold is defined by perseverance, adaptability, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. Raised at a local skating rink, Erin’s athletic career evolved across disciplines—from roller figure skating and inline racing to roller derby and ultimately speed skating on ice.
Her defining moment came at the 2022 Beijing Olympic Games, where she captured gold in the 500 meters, securing her place in history as the first Black woman to win an individual Olympic gold medal in the sport.
