Roster! https://www.usabs.com/news/2026/january/19/usa-bobsled-skeleton-announces-2026-winter-olympic-team

Week 2 (Jan 12-18) Tennis - Emma Navarro and Madison Keys made it to the QF of Adelaide. Desirae Krawczyk and her partner Kichenok from Ukraine made it to the finals, after they had a walkover with their bout vs. #1 seed Hsieh/Ostapenko in QF and then winning their SF bout against Perez/Schuurs. They lost against the #2 seed Siniakova/Zhang. Also, in the opening round of the Australian Open, Venus Williams lost, but did so as the oldest woman to have competed, as she lost to someone who was born after Venus first played in the Open. Read more here. Squash - Timothy Brownell made it to QF in Detroit, but the Women stole the show in Cleveland. Marina Stefanoni made it to the QF, getting knocked out by Olivia Weaver. Weaver then met Sabrina Sobhy in the Finals, with Weaver taking it. Great job! Badminton - Beiwen Zhang made it to her QF round before losing to the #7 seed. Swimming - Ledecky dominated, of course. Several French athletes (including Marchand) were there. Keep your eye on Ryan Erisman and his sister Rylee. He beat a crowded field with seasoned vets in the 200m Free. Coming up Week 3 Tennis - Australian Open will be in full swing! (Pun? Sorry.) Road Cycling - The conclusion of the Road Down Under for the Women, and then it's the Men's turn. Luke Lamperti will be riding Badminton - Now off to Indonesia with the team. Equestrian - We have a 5* Dressage event at the end of the week in Wellington. Fencing - We'll have Sabre competitions in Salt Lake City and Épée in Doha. Squash - A big competition (Platinum) in New York. Let's see if we can have some success!

Team USA 2026 Men's Singles - Jonny Gustafson and Matt Greiner Men's Doubles - Marcus Mueller + Ansel Haugsjaa, and Zack DiGregorio + Sean Hollander Women's Singles - Summer Britcher, Ashley Farquharson, and Emily Fischnaller Women's Doubles - Chevonne Forgan + Sophia Kirkby (And we will compete in the Team Relay.) History Germany traditionally dominates at Luge. We've never won gold, but have won 3 silvers and 3 bronzes. (We won one Silver in 2018, one Bronze in 2014, and one of each in 2002...so it's been a minute.) This is also the first year that Women's Doubles will be contested. We've had a nice World Cup season, so here's hoping for some hardware to take back to the USA!

Team USA 2026 Men - Cam Smith Women - Anna Gibson History This is a new sport to the Olympics. Smith and Gibson paired up in December and won Gold in the Mixed Relay in Solitude. The other nations didn't have their A Team, I don't think, but it was nice to see some success. We'll see what happens!

His best finish so far this season was a 6th in the pursuit at Ostersund. He was actually the fastest skier that day and the only one in the field who shot a perfect 20 for 20. So yes, definitely excited to see what he can do in Antholz!

Updated Post 1 with roster. Looking forward to seeing our team in action. We haven't medaled at any WC this year, but we're doing decently.

Follow along with me as our summer athletes compete throughout the year. Check out my calendar here. Weeks 0-1 (Jan 1-11) These first few days saw USA athletes compete across several sports, and we ended up on the podium a fair amount. Tennis - Taylor Fritz, Christian Harrison, and Coco Gauff helped lead Team USA to a place in the Semifinals of the United Cup in Australia. (Poland, who beat us, went on to win.) For the Women in Brisbane, Amanda Anasimova got knocked out in R16, Madison Keys got knocked out in the QF (by Sabalenka), and Jessica Pegula made it to the SF (beaten by Kostyuk). Squash - We only had one competitor in the Men's tournament in Karachi Open--Shahjahan Khan, ranked #66, who didn't make it past the first round. Badminton - Beiwen Zhang made it to R16 in WS in Malaysia. And a XD team of Presley Smith and Jennie Gai made it to the QF (beaten by a Chinese duo that made it to F). Table Tennis - No luck for Kanak Jha and Lily Zhang in Doha. Fencing - Lots of luck in Fencing. Hadley Husisian took hold a Bronze in W Épée, and USA took Gold in the team bout. Elijah Imrek finished in 7th for the men. In M Sabre, Colin Heathcock got sent home in the QF by eventual runner-up Krisztian Rabb. In Foil, Alexander Massialas took home individual Gold, and helped lead the men to a Team Silver. On the Women's side, Lee Kiefer also took home Gold and helped her compatriots walk away with a Bronze. Equestrian - The Global Dressage Festival is underway in Wellington, FL. There was a North American League World Cup event there on Thursday and Friday. Christian Simonson (WR #15) won, followed by Geñay Vaughn and Ashley Holzer, all of whom represent USA. Coming up in Week 2 Tennis - Madison Keys is trying to be a repeat champ in Adelaide. And Australian Open starts in a week! Squash - Two tournaments in the USA with Timothy Brownell being the #7 seed in Detroit, and Olivia Weaver as the #1 seed in Cleveland. Badminton - In India, can we improve on last week? Swimming - We have a meet in Austin (USA Swimming Pro Series) with a lot of the top dogs. Road Cycling - Chloe Dygert, one of our accomplished Track Cyclists, will be racing in the Road Down Under next weekend.

Trials this weekend!

Team announcement! https://fox40.com/sports/italy-olympics/us-speedskating-announces-short-track-speed-skating-team-for-winter-olympics/ "The athletes are returning Olympians Corinne Stoddard, Kristen Santos-Griswold, Julie Letai, Eunice Lee, and Andrew Heo, and first-timers Brandon Kim, Kamryn Lute, and Clayton DeClemente."

We did it! We've got Men, Women, and Mixed Doubles. Congrats to Team Casper and Team Peterson!

https://usfigureskating.org/sports/2025/11/3/2026-prevagen-us-figure-skating-championships.aspx Beginning of January...we'll see who our team is (though our top contenders are essentially known)

Haven't kept this up to date...but looks like the Men didn't do well enough to field a team for the Relay in Milano. But Andrew Heo did score our one and only gold in Dordrecht in the 500m!

Team USA 2026 Men - TBD Women - TBD History The only USA medal came the first time ski jumping was contested at the first Winter Olympics, back in 1924 Chamonix. It was a bronze, and interestingly enough, he wasn't awarded the medal until 50 years later when an error in calculations was discovered. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ski_jumping_at_the_1924_Winter_Olympics#Results Based on last year's World Cup (zero medals), it doesn't seem like we have a lot of hope for the podium this year.

Slopestyle in Stubai only managed to get the W Qualis done. Grace Henderson and Marin Hamill made it into the Top 8.

Team USA 2026 2-Man: TBD 4-Man: Frank Del Duca / Josh Williamson / Boone Niederhofer / Bryan Sosoo, Kris Horn / Carsten Vissering / Hunter Powell / Caleb Furnell Woman Monobob: (I'd assume Armbruster Humphries, Love, and Meyers Taylor) 2-Woman: Kaillie Armbruster Humphries / Jasmine Jones, Kaysha Love / Azaria Hill, Elana Meyers Taylor / Jadin O’Brien History We've medaled every year since 2002, though Germany has been on top recently. We're 3rd overall historically.

But Florian and Ro earned 5th in Mixed Team.

Austin Florian was 10th in Cortina, including marking a track record for the start time on each run.. Mystique Ro didn't have a good first run.

Team USA 2026 Men's - Austin Florian, Dan Barefoot Women's - Kelly Curtis, Mystique Ro Mixed Team - TBD History Our last medals were in 2014. Mystique Ro won Silver in the 2025 WCh. She and Austin Florian won Gold at the Mixed Team event.

And for the first time since 2002.. John Shuster will not be curling in the Olympics for Team USA. He loses the best-of-3 to Danny Casper. Casper now heads to the OQE to try and secure their spot in Milan

And mistakes continue... Down by 2 with 4 ends to go

And Shuster starts by giving Casper a steal...
