One athlete to know from all 93 countries competing in the Winter Olympics

The Olympics always captivate an international audience with their size, scope, and spirit.

Countries from all across the globe compete, and while there's a desire to be crowned best in the world, sportsmanship reigns over the fortnight's worth of events.
