About one year ago, Americans took to the ice and snow for the Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018. Over the last two weeks, those athletes remembered the experiences that generated memories to last a lifetime. Here are some of the social media posts that best stood out from the anniversary of the record-breaking, medal-winning and tear-jerking moments lived and remembered by Team USA athletes.
Olympic gold medalist Mikaela Shiffrin showed us the reactions she had when she topped the podium, and honestly, the roller coaster of emotions is pretty relatable to how all Americans felt watching the Games.

Over 20 years ago, a little six-year-old was inspired to want to win an Olympic Gold Medal. I can’t believe it’s been one year since this dream came true. I am so excited to see who was inspired by the 2018 team! 🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/JFNI5QGigi

Winning a gold medal is one of the only times in life when grown adults are allowed to jump up and down and hug each other. 🤗 pic.twitter.com/5akQHLlCEm
Team Shuster made history last year by becoming the first U.S. curling team to ever compete for a gold medal – and then to ever win a gold medal.
One year ago today. The day everything changed.
