The United States will compete in seven sports, and up to 94 of the 98 medal events. This phenominal group of athletes represents the largest delegation in the history of the Olympic Winter Games.
“We are thrilled to announce the 230 athletes who will represent Team USA in Sochi,” said USOC CEO Scott Blackmun. “This is the largest team we have ever sent to an Olympic Winter Games, and I’d like to commend all of those who helped support our athletes in the pursuit of their Olympic dreams. Most of all, this is a time to celebrate our athletes, who have made countless sacrifices and dedicated themselves to being their best, both on and off the ice and snow. I am very excited to watch them compete as they represent our nation with excellence and distinction on the world stage.”
The 2014 U.S. Winter Olympic Team features 106 returning Olympians. Among the veterans are 49 Olympic medalists, 13 of whom are Olympic champions.
