Thomas Laraia (00) is a man of many faces and places. He's lived all over the world, and although he claims he's loyal to team USA, his adoption of Scottish slang such as "eish" and "yaldi" (what the actual heck??) has made it clear that European Thomas is too cool for the rest of us. However he's secretly a huge nerd, displayed by his love of math and his ability to sing along to the entire Hamilton musical. He may have slid his way into the A final, but dude can't even find his way from Rema 1000 to Lidl. Watch out for him at the banquet, we hear this man's gone wild since going to uni 🤘🏼
Siri Christopherson (99) is literally too cool for school. You can easily identify her thanks to her purple hair and tendency to spontaneously start cartwheeling or walking on her hands. She sings like an angel but can also spit fire orienteering song parodies--look out for her upcoming JWOC Recap Rap. We're a tad concerned that she might've suffered a blow to the head, as she can't remember conversations immediately after having them, but don't let that stop you from saying hi to her (repeatedly) when you see her burning up the dance floor tonight.
It may be her first JWOC, but Bridget Hall (02) is no newb when it comes to O. Can be found weaving her way through the trees just as fast as she weaves her hair into braids. She listens to just about the most un-hype prerace music on earth, always runs clean though so maybe she's onto something. She's also a gymnast and you never know when you're gonna run into her walking on her hands or doing the splits for fun. English-born and proud of it, she mostly shows off by drinking inordinate amounts of tea. Hates when we leave our dirty dishes out but seems to enjoy cleaning them up 🤔 (#futureteammom?)
Already on her 5th JWOC, Julia Doubson (00) is a force to be reckoned with. She may have wowed onlookers with her middle performance this year, but her real talents lie in laughing uncontrollably, spontaneous faceplants, and yawning. She appears calm and innocent but will kick your ass in Egyptian Ratscrew and laugh mirthlessly if you can't drink water properly. This girl's a firecracker but you better be able to give killer massages, be a fantastic chef, and have a cat if you even want a chance.
