As seen in the Washington Post, Luca Lim was just 10 years old when he found himself glued to the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, enraptured by the speed and grace of short-track speedskating.

As a senior in high school, Luca is enrolled in online courses through George Washington University Online High School, which allows him to spend eight hours a day training and tend to his classwork in the evenings or between workouts.
