3. John Daly (@johndalyusa), Skeleton

Daly’s Instagram bio says he’s “a slightly funny, decently athletic, perfect haired dude,” and that pretty much sums it up! Daly doesn’t take himself too seriously and is always good for a light-hearted post or some inspirational words of wisdom.

6. Maia and Alex Shibutani (@MaiaShibutani, @AlexShibutani), Figure Skating

The Shibs are bona fide social media stars, cranking out stellar Instagram shots and YouTube vlogs. But one of their best assets is old home movies, giving us a (way too cute!) glimpse of the siblings before they were superstars.

9. Elana Meyers Taylor (@eamslider24 on Twitter), Bobsled

Meyers Taylor is a two-time Olympic medalist and one of the best bobsled pilots in the world. She also happens to be one of the kindest, most generous members of Team USA, always reaching out to congratulate other athletes on their successes and thanking those that support her.

10. Jason Brown (@jasonbskates), Figure Skating

Is there a happier human on the face of the earth than Jason Brown? We think not! Brown is a perpetual ray of sunshine, capable of bringing you a smile on even the worst of days. He also makes a dance video for each event at which he competes, showcasing the city and culture of the location – and often other skaters!

11. Lindsey Vonn (@lindseyvonn), Alpine Skiing

If you’re not already following Vonn, you’re missing out on photos of her tight-knit squad: the @vonndogs. Lucy, Leo and Bear accompany Vonn almost everywhere, from the gym to the airport to business meetings to Christmas shopping. They’re a guaranteed mood-lifter!

12. Jamie Anderson (@jamieanderson), Snowboarding

Is Anderson the coolest Olympic gold medalist ever? Quite possibly. Her cross-training regime includes long-boarding and yoga, and don’t be surprised if you catch a glimpse of her literally hugging a tree.

White always keeps it real with his legion of fans. His Instagram shows every side of his life, from displaying his fashion-forward style (he has his own clothing line!) to showing his new tricks in the halfpipe to giving injury updates.

15. Hagen Kearney (@hagenkearney), Snowboarding

Kearney does it all. No, really. He plays guitar in a band. He skateboards. He rides mountain bikes. He rides motorcycles. And, oh yeah, he’s vying for a spot on the Olympic team in snowboardcross.

16. Matt Hamilton (@MattJamilton on Twitter), Curling

When you picture a curler, does a guy with purple patent leather Air Jordan 1s come to mind? Hamilton doesn’t fit the traditional mold of his sport, and that’s just fine with him. Follow his Twitter for some dry wit and, of course, his incredible mustache.

17. Joey Mantia (@joeymantia), Speedskating

Mantia’s Instagram account is great for anyone looking for some #MondayMotivation… and #TuesdayMotivation… and #WednesdayMotivation… you get the idea. Every day is leg day for Mantia, and you won’t be able to look away.
