Team Pursuit Champion
Dawson is no stranger to the world of speed skating; in fact, he’s one of the world record holders in team pursuit alongside his teammates Emery Lehman and Ethan Cepuran. Dawson has also had success at an international level, having been part of the bronze medal-winning men’s pursuit team at the 2022 Beijing Games.
His first event at the 2026 Olympics took place on Sunday where he finished eighth in the men’s 5000m. Dawson is also set to compete in the men’s 1500m and 10000m events, as well as team pursuit.
Punishment Details
The punishment for finishing last in a fantasy football league isn’t just limited to these accessories; it extends throughout the entire speed skating season.

The 2026 Milan Cortina Games are shaping up to be more than just a showcase of athletic prowess; they’re also proving to be a platform for some unexpected and humorous stories. As Dawson navigates his unique punishment, fans will undoubtedly be keeping an eye on how he copes with this quirky challenge.
