FIGURE SKATING

JULIA LIPNITSKAIA

After two decades of middling results since the breakup of the Soviet Union, Russia—which slumped to 15 medals, just three of them gold, in Vancouver—is under pressure to win big in Sochi. Two thirds of its young team (average age: 22.5) are first-time Olympians. Most prominent among them is Lipnitskaia, 15, who in January became the youngest-ever European champion. On the same ice where she'll try for gold, however, veteran Viktor Ahn, 28, could be Russia's true medal machine. He has a shot to win four in short-track speedskating.

LUGE

FELIX LOCH

Loch became his sport's youngest gold medalist when he won in Vancouver at age 20. A four-time world singles champion, he enters Sochi as the strong favorite on a team of dominant German sliders, who have clinched World Cup titles this season in every discipline. At 6' 3" Loch is one of the sport's tallest competitors. He is coached by his father, Norbert, a 1984 Olympic luger for East Germany. In Sochi, Team Germany will count on its lugers, bobsledders and Alpine skiers to keep it in the medal race.

SPEEDSKATING

HEATHER RICHARDSON

With no ice ovals in her native North Carolina, Richardson (whose parents grew up competing on old-fashioned four-wheel roller skates) started in-line skating as a child. She switched to the ice at age 18, and three years later raced in a trio of events at the 2010 Olympics, where she finished as high as sixth. She won the 2013 world sprint championship and last month fended off teammate and friend Brittany Bowe, a former point guard at Florida Atlantic and a fellow in-line convert, to win the 500, 1,000 and 1,500 meters at the U.S. trials. Between Richardson, 24, and Bowe, 25, the U.S. hopes to end a 12-year medal drought for its female long-track skaters.
