American Girl had a partnership with Team USA for the 2020/21 Tokyo Summer Olympics, and they are rumored to be continuing this partnership for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
To be 100% honest, I'm not a fan of this. Sure, we get cute athletic gear, but as I said before, I'm concerned about the human rights implications this Olympics is getting into. Due to this, I'm not going to purchase anything from this collection. My values are more important than doll clothes.
I hope they make a figure skating outfit. I never bought any of there old olympics stuff, I’m more interested in Winter Olympics.
@Admin. You have raised important points about the Olympics to be held in China in February of 2022. I Googled responses in both the U.S. and Canada. Your concerns are shared by both citizens and governments of those two countries.
I found this article with a different perspective that I thought you might like to consider:

Thanks for your care and concern for larger issues that are reflected in our choices in our love for American Girl.
It’s alright. I stopped posting my AGN segments because of the GOTY2022 rumors that could get me in trouble.
Its completely understandable.
I bet they’d be cute, tho!
just curious - what human rights issues are going on?
