Jerick McKinnon probably shouldn’t have been surprised to spend all season buried on the Chiefs depth chart. The journeyman running back had been passed over plenty of times before.

And they’re just two of the figure skaters on the American contingent for the Winter Games who have had to overcome obstacles over the past year to compete in Beijing. Three-time world champion Nathan Chen has a history of hip injuries and is dealing with a sore groin.
