Team USA, Frederick Richard and Ilia Malinin Declare December 21 National Backflip Day
Ahead of Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026, new holiday celebrates the backflip with epic livestream + surprises!
The United States Olympic & Paralympic Foundation (USOPF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting Team USA athletes on and off the field of play. As the fundraising arm of the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC), the USOPF generates philanthropic support to empower Team USA athletes to achieve sustained competitive excellence and well-being.
Unlike most National Olympic Committees, the USOPC does not receive federal funding for its Olympic & Paralympic programs. Instead, it relies on the generosity of the American public to help U.S. athletes remain competitive with the rest of the world. Our nation stands apart from others because our Olympic and Paralympic Teams are not just cheered by an enthusiastic national fan base, but funded by one. As you watch Team USA athletes achieve their dreams, you will do so knowing that you played a critical role in their journey.
