The 17-year-old taekwondo standout transplanted from Schenectady where she was a student at Notre Dame-Bishop Gibbons High School to Colorado Springs, Colorado last year to train at USA Taekwondo’s home base. Greenwood, ranked No. 2 in the country in the women’s 53-kilogram division, said Thursday she’ll likely be based out of Colorado Springs through 2028, with the goal of competing in that year’s Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.

Colleen Garbarini has to make a plan before entering a grocery store: the mask can’t stay on too long. She knows the mask is there to protect her and others, but the feeling of it covering her face stirs deep emotions four decades in the making. At one point, she had to abandon her cart in a store as the oppressive feeling overtook her.
