From grit to glam. The women of Team USA are flipping the script on what longevity looks like the winter edition of Women's Health.

Amanda Lucci is the director of special projects for Women's Health. Editors created a mirrored set to evoke icy, wintry vibes and Amanda says the athletes turned models understood the assignment.

"They just turned it on the second they got on set and it was so much fun," says Amanda.

The Olympics issue celebrates longevity.

"We really wanted to explore what it takes to be an athlete for actual decades, while also living a lot of life outside of that," says Amanda.

Snowboarder Jamie Anderson is an Olympic gold medalist. She took three years off since the 2022 Winter Games to have two kids. Her Olympic push for Milan Cortina involved a lot of multi-tasking.

Amanda says, "She's still talking about how she's still getting into her flow of how she's training and also being a mom but at the same time, she's so much stronger."

Cover model Chloe Kim left the last Olympics with more than a gold medal in the halfpipe. She describes extreme burnout and what she's done to work through it and fall in love with snowboarding again.

Peak performance means new things. It's not just medals. It's mental health, motherhood, rest, and redefining success.
