Team USA 2026

 

Men - 4 athletes - Sean Doherty (4th Olympics), Maxime Germain, Paul Schommer (2nd Olympics), Campbell Wright (2nd Olympics, 1st for USA)

 

Women - 4 athletes - Lucinda Anderson, Margie Freed, Deedra Irwin (2nd Olympics), Joanne Reid (3rd Olympics)

 

History

 

This is the lone sport in the Winter Olympics that we have never medaled in.  Deedra Irwin placed 7th in an event in 2022, so assuming she's on the team this year, hopefully she can move up a few more slots to medal.  Additionally, Campbell Wright, who changed his nationality to USA from NZL, earned 2 silver medals in the 2025 WCH, so hopefully that medal streak will continue in Milan (presuming he's on the team).

Though the whole team hasn't been announced, Campbell Wright is all but certain to be on the team, due to his medals at the WCH.

 

From NBC Olympics: 

 

Events where Wright could take the podium:

• Men’s 10km sprint on Feb. 13 (Day 7). Wright placed second in this event at the 2025 World Championships.
• Men’s 12.5km pursuit on Feb. 15 (Day 9). Wright finished second in this event at the 2025 World Championships.
• Men’s 15km mass start Feb. 20 (Day 14). Wright finished fourth in this event at the 2025 World Championships.

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.

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!
