It’s OK Benjamin, Giant Slalom is tough. Lots of people wipe out. You’ll get another shot at Slalom later this week but you have to race against guys like @teamUSA’s Ted Ligety (@ted_ligety), Ryan Cochran-Siegle (@rc.s), and Tommy Ford (@tommyford)…maybe you should just take a nap while you’re laying down instead. 💙❤️⛷🇺🇸 Photo credit: @gen719 @nbcolympics @olympics @spyderactive . #winterolympictwins #babyolympics #twinterolympics #teamUSA #slalom #winterolympics2018 #everydayolympics #pyeongchang2018 #officialtwinmom #pbj4teamusa #anythingforbaby

Every great @teamUSA athlete has a behind the scenes support team, or in our case side by side support! Why skate alone when you can skate with your brother and bestie?! Adam Rippon (@adaripp) sorry you have to go it alone today, but we are cheering for you and the rest of the @usfigureskating team just the same! And because we love dance something fierce, kudos to @benjischwimmer for Adam’s magical choreography. 🕺🔥❄️⛸ Photo credit/incredible costume design: @gen719 @nbcolympics @olympics @hederjon . #winterolympictwins #babyolympics #teamUSA #winterolympics2018 #bladesofglory #fireandice #chazzmichaelmichaels #jimmymacelroy #willferrell #jonheder #everydayolympics #usfigureskating #pyeongchang2018 #officialtwinmom #twinterolympics #anythingforbaby #pbj4teamusa

Speed skater Maame Biney (@biney.biney) brings crazy joy to @teamUSA and Erin Jackson (@speedyj) had only been skating on ice FOUR months when she qualified for the Olympic speed skating team this year. Super impressive but could they skate before they could even walk like Benjamin and Zachary?

@teamUSA’s first ever luge medalist Chris Mazdzer (@mazdzer) is our luge hero! Congrats on your silver medal! As identical twins, we prefer the doubles luge event, though, bro.
