The U.S. Olympic team roster for the Milan Cortina Games is set, featuring a mix of seasoned veterans and rising stars. Among the 232 athletes, seven Americans are preparing for their fifth Olympic appearance. This includes Lindsey Vonn, hockey player Hilary Knight, and bobsledders Kaillie Humphries and Elana Meyers Taylor, marking a significant achievement in their careers.

Returning medalists are a key feature of the team, with Meyers Taylor leading the charge with five medals. Mikaela Shiffrin and Chloe Kim, both with two golds, also aim for more success. The team's diverse age range, from 15 to 54, showcases the breadth of talent and experience. The Games begin February 4th, with the opening ceremony on February 6th.

The Milan Cortina Olympics will be the most spread-out in history, with events across multiple locations. Milan will host hockey, figure skating, and speedskating, while Cortina and other mountain clusters will host skiing, snowboarding, and other winter sports. This event represents a chance for these athletes to cement their legacies, and for new faces to make their mark.
