Former UC Davis student Brita Sigourney and UCLA alum Carlo Valdes are both headed to Beijing for the Winter Games, where they will represent Team USA in freestyle skiing and bobsledding, respectively.
前加州大学戴维斯分校（UC Davis）学生布丽塔·西格妮（Brita Sigourney）和加州大学洛杉矶分校（UCLA）校友卡洛·瓦尔德斯（Carlo Valdes）都将前往北京参加冬奥会，他们将分别代表美国代表队参加自由式滑雪和有舵雪橇比赛。
Each comes into this Games with some Olympic experience: Valdes competed at the 2018 Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea, while this is Sigourney's third Olympics. Sigourney medaled in the PyeongChang Games in the halfpipe.
他们两人都有一些奥运经验。瓦尔德斯参加了2018年韩国平昌冬奥会；北京冬奥会是西格妮参加的第三次奥运会，此前她已在平昌冬奥会的u型场地比赛中获得过奖牌。
Brita Sigourney
布丽塔·西格妮
The first woman to land a 1080 in halfpipe competition, Brita Sigourney is already a freestyle skiing legend.
布丽塔·西格妮（Brita Sigourney）是首位在u型场地滑雪比赛中获得1080分的女子选手，她已经是自由式滑雪的传奇人物。
Halfpipe is her event — riding her skis up the snow-packed walls to launch herself into twists and turns in the air, then, hopefully, landing safely back in the pipe.
u型场地滑雪是她的长项，她骑着滑雪板在满是积雪的雪壁上滑行，在空中做迂回和转弯，然后，满怀希望地，安全回落到u型场地上。
She finished sixth in her first Olympics, in 2014 in Sochi, Russia, and scored the bronze medal in the 2018 Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea. She enters the Beijing Games having just turned 32.
她第一次参加奥运会是在2014年的俄罗斯索契冬奥会上，并获得第六名的好名次，随后在2018年韩国平昌冬奥会上获得铜牌。今年刚满32岁的她参加北京奥运会。
Sigourney, from Carmel, enrolled at UC Davis in 2008 but left early to join the newly established U.S. freeskiing team. She’s not the only Aggie in the family: Her parents, Thad and Julie Sigourney, graduated in 1976, and brother Brendan Sigourney in 2009.
西格妮来自卡梅尔，2008年就读于加州大学戴维斯分校，但后来早早离开，加入了新成立的美国自由滑雪队。她不是家里唯一的加州大学校友：她的父母萨德和朱莉·西格妮（Thad and Julie Sigourney）于1976年毕业，哥哥布兰登·西格妮（Brendan Sigourney）于2009年毕业。
Carlo Valdes
卡洛·瓦尔德斯
Former UCLA javelin thrower Carlo Valdes has been named to the U.S. Olympic bobsled team for the 2022 Winter Games in Beijing.
加州大学洛杉矶分校(UCLA)前标枪运动员卡洛· 瓦尔德斯(Carlo Valdes)入选2022年北京冬奥会美国奥运雪橇队。
"The selection committee met to thoroughly deliberate who should be nominated to this team, and it wasn't an easy decision," said Aron McGuire, USA Bobsled/Skeleton Chief Executive Officer. "We are fortunate to have a deep talent pool, but that makes it really difficult to decide who gets selected. We are proud of this team, and we're looking forward to watching them represent the United States in Beijing."
美国雪橇公司首席执行官 阿伦·麦圭尔（Aron McGuire）说:“选拔委员会就谁应该被提名参加展开了彻底讨论，这不是一个容易的决定。很幸运的是，我们有一个深厚的人才库，这让我们挑花了眼。我们为这支球队感到骄傲，我们期待着看到他们在北京代表美国参赛。”
Of the 12 total athletes selected to represent the United States, Valdes is one of just two to have competed in the Olympics before. He was a member of Team USA's bobsled team at the 2018 Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea, where he finished 20th overall as a four-man for pilot Justin Olsen.
在代表美国参赛的十二名运动员中，瓦尔德斯是此前仅有的两名参加过奥运会的运动员之一。在2018年韩国平昌冬奥会上，他是美国雪橇队的一员，在那届奥运会上，他与贾斯汀·奥尔森(Justin Olsen)四人组比赛中排名第二十。
Valdes competed in the javelin for UCLA Track & Field from 2010-13 and threw for the Bruins in 26 meets across his collegiate career. He owns a career-best toss of 64.91m (212-11) and secured a 10th-place finish at the 2012 Pac-12 Championships.
2010-13年，瓦尔德斯参加了加州大学洛杉矶分校田径标枪比赛，他的大学生涯中，为棕熊队投了26场球。他拥有职业生涯最好的掷铅球64.91米(212-11)，并在2012年太平洋十二校锦标赛中获得第十名。
