John Shuster, 39, led the US men's curling team to win his first Olympic gold at PyeongChang 2018, and hopes to make history in Beijing. No athletes have ever won multiple gold medals in men's curling.

"It's going to be special to get a chance to go back [to the Olympics] and see what we can do," the American curler told the International Olympic Committee website.

After pre-Olympic test runs for Beijing 2022 on the new Yanqing track, athletes from bobsleigh and skeleton title favorites Germany have offered their praise on the infrastructure offered at Beijing 2022.

Four-time Olympic champion and tobogganist Natalie Geisenberger said she is excited to experience a new track.

"It's my fourth Olympics and I still want to win medals," she said.
