The 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing are at the midway point, and so far, it has been a mixed bag for the athletes with ties to Vermont. Ryan Cochran-Siegle won a silver medal in the men’s super-G, and cross-country skier Jessie Diggins, who attended the Stratton Mountain School, scored a bronze this week. But, one of the most talked-about upsets so far centered on alpine skier Mikaela Shiffrin, who failed to finish her first two races.

This hour, Vermont Edition co-hosts Connor Cyrus and Mikaela Lefrak speak with NBC5 sports anchor and reporter Marshall Kramsky about these athletes and others with ties to Vermont. They also explore the impact of COVID-19 protocols and the artificial snow in Beijing.

Broadcast live at noon on Friday, Feb. 11, 2022.
