A 222-strong Team USA named for Beijing 2022

The United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee announced the full list of athletes from the U.S. that will travel to compete at the Beijing Olympic Winter Games, which begin on 4 February.

“The Olympic Games showcases the best of humanity and sport competition, and Beijing 2022 will be no different. The athletes who make up Team USA are not only ready to compete, but they are ready to make this country proud,” said USOPC CEO Sarah Hirshland.

“The USOPC and the National Governing Bodies are committed to taking every step to keep our athletes safe, supported and championed as they live out their sporting dreams.”

Stars on parade

There are many household names and previous gold-medal winners in the list of 222 (the largest Team USA ever sent to an Olympic Winter Games).

There’s two-time gold medallist in Alpine skiing Mikaela Shiffrin and legendary snowboard halfpipe rider Shaun White, who is looking for his fourth gold at this fifth Olympics. Chloe Kim, defending Olympic champion in the women’s snowboard halfpipe is on the list and so is PyeongChang 2018 gold-medal-winning skip in curling, John Shuster, and men's golden hopeful in figure skating Nathan Chen.

David Wise – the only man ever to win a freestyle skiing halfpipe Olympic gold – will also be heading to Beijing in an attempt to keep his golden tradition alive, this time as a 31-year-old veteran. “I think I have a chance to do it,” he told Olympics.com last week. “It would be insane to three-peat.”

18 previous champions

In all, eighteen members of Team USA for the Beijing Games have already achieved Olympic glory, including 11 athletes who’ve won Olympic gold medals in previous Games.

“Every time you have an opportunity to wear the red, white and blue, it’s a huge honor and an absolute privilege,” said Hilary Knight, defending Olympic champion in women’s ice hockey.

“I’ve been fortunate enough to be able to do it four times for the Olympics now, but it’s the feeling, and elation, of being able to pull the jersey over your shoulders and represent something bigger than yourself. It always feels like the first time whenever you put the jersey on,” she added, with the Games just under two weeks away.
