Dare to Dream: An Olympian's Story | Vincent Zhou | TEDxBrownU

Vincent Zhou shares with us his riveting yet crushing journey to the 2020 Olympics and the top of the figure skating world. Through his journey, he dares us to rediscover motivation in our lowest moments. Vincent Zhou is a Team USA figure skater, 2-time Olympian, Olympic medalist, 2-time World medalist, 14-time major ISU international medalist, 9-time National medalist, and 3-time National champion. He is currently a freshman at Brown University pursuing a degree in Economics. His hometown is Palo Alto, California, but he has lived and trained all over the world and competed in 17 countries. He is currently on the US Figure Skating Singles Development and Technical Committee and is involved with building the next generation of US figure skaters. In the future, he aims to work in management consulting, investment banking, or venture capital. In his spare time, he is an aspiring mountaineer who loves bouldering, scrambling in the Colorado 14ers, and listening to music. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    I’m really proud of him. He has a lot going for him. It must’ve been tough to come up through the Nathan Chen era of US figure skating. Because the guy was pretty much unstoppable. And then his mother was an absolute abusive mess. Yet somehow he has succeeded. He should be very proud of himself.

    Hysteric, caring more about the money from sponsors. Always number 3. I'm proud only of one man on earth, Natham, who is far aheaad of others. If your are not N1, why are you dare wipping?
