CASEY DAWSON Olympic Speed Skating Medalist In the high-speed sport of speed skating, World Cup titlist, Olympic medalist and world record holder Casey Dawson tells the story of precision and teamwork – and how it has brought him global success on the ice. Dawson grew up in the winter sport-rich community of Park City. Through the local Youth Sports Alliance’s Get Out & Play program, he sampled many sports but landed on ice in grade school, attracted by the sheer speed. Training at the Utah Olympic Oval, he quickly advanced in the sport. A medal at the 2020 Junior World Championships and a U.S. title in the 10,000 meters in 2021 set him on a path to the 2022 Beijing Olympics. Along the way, Dawson found the value of teamwork – partnering with teammates in the team pursuit. Together, they have found success by working together – winning three straight season-long World Cup titles, setting new world records, and bringing home an Olympic medal.
