Red, White & Trending: Nov. 4-10

What are Team USA athletes — Olympians, Paralympians and hopefuls — up to when they're not competing? They're training. They're practicing. They're traveling to competitions and meets and games and tournaments. They're relaxing. They're getting engaged and married. They're taking hard-earned vacations. They're coping with the raw emotions that come from losing and winning. And they're sharing. Through the reach of social media, we're able to follow along on their often extraordinary journeys. We'll catch you up each week on what's "Red, White & Trending."

Challenge Accepted

Paralympic swimming gold medalist Mallory Weggemann has a set a goal for herself that is years in the making. As her wedding looms, she’ll be working over these next seven weeks to walk down the aisle on her wedding day. But, first, a bridal shower for the bride-to-be …

Way To Go, Runners

From a Team USA perspective, the prestigious marathon in the city so nice they named it twice held particular interest as Olympians Molly Huddle, Gwen Jorgensen and Kim Conley were making their New York City Marathon debuts. Huddle ran an impressive 2:28:13 to finish third in one of the most impressive debuts ever for a U.S.-born woman (the fastest, of course, was Goucher in 2008). Jorgensen finished No. 14, while Conley finished 16th, both under 2:42:00.

Their reactions, however, ran the gamut of emotions in social media (check out the quality work on the fingernails below, too).

Olympic bobsledder and huddler Lolo Jones caught up with Huddle afterward.

Olympian Kara Goucher, one of this country’s best-ever marathoners, had some kind words, too.

Jorgensen, Rio’s women’s triathlon gold medalist, chronicled her first marathon experience — her longest run ever — thusly:

Kim Conley, a two-time Olympian, was carried to some degree by the inspiring Meb Keflezighi.

All She Does Is Win

Here we go again, in the most delightful ways. Seven-time Paralympic gold medalist and marathon star Tatyana McFadden has won yet another New York City Marathon — No. 5 if you’re counting. Even heading into the event, she was ready to celebrate.

New York Stories

Speaking of New York City, Olympic gymnastics champion Aly Raisman zipped through the city this past week, making a new friend and dropping the puck in Brooklyn.

New York Stories, Part 2

Newly minted World Series champion Dexter Fowler, who played for Team USA at the 1996 Games, is making the most of his newfound national fame.

#MannequinChallenge

The clever Mannequin Challenge, which blasted its way into millions of timelines, took a few athletes with Team USA ties along for the ride, including the Boston College women’s hockey team, featuring head coach and three-time Olympic medalist Katie Crowley.

Olympic gymnastics champion Laurie Hernandez joined the fun during an impressive Dancing with the Stars effort …

But, when given the chance back on marathon Sunday, no one seemed all that interested in slowing to a stop near the finish line.

On the other hand, can you spot the Olympians who visited the White House on Thursday, when the Cleveland Cavaliers were honored for winning the NBA title?

The frozen photo op worked out particularly well for three-time Olympian LeBron James.

For a hint on the Olympians …

Meet The New Miller

Twisted Workout

What does training look like for Olympic gymnast Sam Mikulak? How about eight release moves on the high bar to the delight of his teammates …

Depends On Your Perspective

If you haven’t been to Half Dome, your perception is probably what you’ve seen in images, but we have Olympic swimming gold medalist Tyler Clary, who thanks to his drone and a creative eye have often captured compelling vantage points, for this in-motion shot while driving away from the Yosemite landmark. The perspective offers a glimpse into just how powerful a sight it might be in person.

Speed Sled

For something that moves a little faster, come along for a luge ride down Whistler’s Olympic course with two-time Olympian Chris Mazdzer.

Wintering In Austria

If you’re a fan of winter, it doesn't get a whole lot better than Austria …
