The fit is tied together with a forearm brace, fingerless leather gloves, a belt outfitted with grenades, and, of course, Lara’s signature braid. While the tactical gear isn’t her most famous look, the costume invokes various…

The following year, two-time Olympic gold medalist Yuzuru Hanyu was training to master the jump, but when he attempted it at the 2022 Winter Games in Beijing, he fell short of finishing the four-and-a-half revolutions in the air. Mishin’s pronouncement, it seemed, had been validated.“I thought I would see a quintuple toe before I would see a quad axel,” says 2002 Olympic bronze medalist Timothy Goebel, known in his time as the “Quad…
