Brittany Bowe, alongside fellow Ocalan Erin Jackson, will open their Olympics competition with the 1,000 meters on Monday, Feb. 9, at 11:30 a.m. ET. Brittany Bowe will be featured on Team USA's women's team pursuit speedskating team and will compete on Tuesday, Feb. 17, at 8:30 a.m. ET.

The 33-year-old Jackson, who was born in Ocala and graduated from Forest High School before attending the University of Florida, is one of just four current Winter Olympians to have their own bobblehead made and available for purchase through the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum.

When Brittany Bowe and Erin Jackson take to the ice at the Milan Cortina Olympics for the women's 1,000 meters in speedskating on Monday, they'll be competing as individuals representing the U.S. and trying to beat each other in hopes of earning another medal for their collections.

Ocala native Erin Jackson will compete for a second speed skating gold medal in the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Erin Jackson’s success story in speed skating seems almost paradoxical. She never dreamed of the Olympics or the US national team, and in just a few seasons she became the leader in sprint distances.
