"Olympians are extremely disciplined when it comes to training for their respective sports - it comes with the territory of being an elite athlete with the hopes of landing on the podium.

""I would be on the couch drinking coffee, a flat white, for a minimum of four to five hours. I'd probably go for a walk, get fresh air, do some baking, definitely get Chinese takeout for dinner, and then cozy up for Netflix and chill before an early bedtime." -Paula Moltzen, 31, alpine skiing"
""Going for dog walks, probably an ice vanilla latte or maple latte, and sitting on the couch and watching an awesome TV show. I will watch everything, but I am such a sucker for anything on Bravo, like Real Housewives of Salt Lake or Watch What Happens Live. I love hearing the tea. But outside of that, honestly, any good, thrilling TV series will really catch my attention. Brit [Bowe] is such a phenomenal cook that I would be like, 'Can you please make fried chicken or something?'" -Hilary Knight, 36, ice hockey"
