As the 2018 Winter Olympics kick off in Pyeongchang, South Korea, it may be a little difficult to pick who to cheer for. Many of us know nothing about winter sports, and even less about the competitors. However, one thing reigns true regardless of what the event may be: we're rooting for everybody black. 

Meet 20 black athletes from across the globe who are competing in this year's winter Olympics. We are well represented and going for the gold.
