U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee announces
222-member 2022 U.S. Olympic Team

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. – The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee today announced the 222-member 2022 U.S. Olympic Team that will compete at the upcoming Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022. The Opening Ceremony will take place Friday, Feb. 4, with competition beginning Feb. 2 and concluding Sunday, Feb. 20.

“The Olympic Games showcases the best of humanity and sport competition, and Beijing 2022 will be no different. The 222 incredible 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.”

The 2022 U.S. Olympic Team features 92 returning Olympians, including four five-time Olympians – Shaun White in halfpipe snowboarding and Lindsey Jacobellis in snowboardcross, Katie Uhlaender in skeleton and John Shuster in curling. There are eight members of Team USA who will compete at their fourth Olympic Winter Games – Elana Meyers Taylor and Kaillie Humphries (previously of Team Canada) in bobsled, Ashley Caldwell in aerials freestyle skiing, Evan Bates in ice dance figure skating, Hilary Knight in ice hockey, Chris Mazdzer in luge, and Faye Gulini and Nick Baumgartner in snowboardcross.

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

Thirty-nine athletes in Beijing have already earned Olympic medals, including 24 athletes who have previously won Olympic gold. White tops the list with three gold medals in halfpipe snowboarding, while Mikaela Shiffrin (alpine skiing), Humphries, Jamie Anderson (slopestyle and big air snowboarding) and David Wise (halfpipe freestyle skiing) each have two Olympic golds.

“This is an exciting 2022 U.S. Olympic Team – a great mix of returning champions building on remarkable legacies and first-time Olympians eager to show what they can do on the biggest stage in sport,” said Rick Adams, USOPC chief of sport performance and 2022 Games Chef de Mission. “The dedication of these Team USA athletes to train and compete in this unpredictable global environment is exemplary. It’s an honor to support and celebrate Team USA, and we can’t wait for the Games to begin.”

2022 U.S. Olympic Team Facts

The roster of 222 athletes is the second largest U.S. contingent ever at the Olympic Winter Games, behind the 228-member team at PyeongChang 2018, and equaling the 222 named to the Sochi 2014 team. This will be the sixth U.S. winter delegation with over 200 athletes, all since 2002.

The 2022 roster includes 107 women, 114 men and one nonbinary athlete. The 107 women named in 2022 is the second largest female contingent for Team USA at an Olympic Winter Games, behind the 109 women named to the PyeongChang 2018 roster (101 competed) and ahead of the 105 women who were named to the Sochi 2014 roster (100 competed).

Four U.S. athletes will be competing in their fifth Olympic Winter Games – Shaun White and Lindsey Jacobellis in snowboarding, Katie Uhlaender in skeleton and John Shuster in curling. All of them competed in 2006, 2010, 2014 and 2018.
Bobsledders Sylvia Hoffman and Josh Williamson make the 2022 U.S. Olympic Team after winning Team USA’s Next Olympic Hopeful contest.

Thirty-nine members of Team USA have won Olympic medals, led by Mikaela Shiffrin in alpine skiing, Kaillie Humphries (previously of Team Canada) and Elana Meyers Taylor in bobsled, Hilary Knight in ice hockey, and Shaun White and Jamie Anderson in snowboarding – all with three Olympic medals.
Of the 222 U.S. athletes heading to Beijing, more than 35% (86 athletes) competed collegiately across 44 schools. Four U.S. sport teams have at least 75% collegiate participation: men’s and women’s ice hockey (100%), bobsled (83%) and biathlon (75%). More than one-third of the women’s ice hockey team competed at the University of Minnesota, while U.S. bobsledders competed collegiately in five different sports: track and field, football, softball, lacrosse and basketball. College athlete representation on the 2022 U.S. Olympic Team spans all three NCAA Divisions (I, II and III), as well as collegiate club programs.
Shaun White will be aiming for his fourth gold medal in halfpipe snowboarding. If he wins, he will become only the ninth Olympian to win individual gold medals at four Olympic Games, and only the second to do so at the Olympic Winter Games, after Ireen Wüst in speedskating for the Netherlands.
Jamie Anderson will be looking to win her third consecutive gold medal in slopestyle snowboarding. If she succeeds, she will equal the three-peat of Bonnie Blair, who won the 500-meter speedskating race at three consecutive Olympic Winter Games in 1988, 1992 and 1994.
Hilary Knight has three Olympic medals in ice hockey, with one gold and two silvers. If Team USA women’s ice hockey can make the podium again, Knight will equal Angela Ruggiero, Jenny Schmidgall-Potter and Julie Chu with four Olympic ice hockey medals, the most ever by U.S. women.
David Wise will be looking for his third consecutive gold medal in halfpipe freestyle skiing. If he does so, he will become the first U.S. man to win three consecutive gold medals in the same event at the Olympic Winter Games, and only the sixth man from any nation to do so in an individual event.
Mikaela Shiffrin enters Beijing with two gold medals, the most ever by a U.S. alpine skier, equaling Ted Ligety and Andrea Mead-Lawrence. If she wins a gold medal in Beijing, she will top the gold-medal list for U.S. alpine skiers.
