Milano Cortina 2026 - Team USA - Ski Jumping


Recommended Posts

Team USA 2026

 

Women - Annika Belshaw, Josie Johnson, Paige Jones

Men - Kevin Bickner, Jason Colby, Tate Frantz

 

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.

Got the roster updated...Jason Colby was starting to pick up steam in the WC...can he somehow fly to victory? (I mean, doubtful...but it can happen...)

We've had some decent results these games...some promising rising stars, I think!

Yeah I feel like we slightly improved over this cycle. Maybe we can fight for some medals at Utah 2034?

Final thoughts...

 

We ended up 8th in the Men's Team and 7th in the Mixed Team.  Let's just keep building slowly but surely!

Yup. Definitely feel like we've improved. Maybe the partnership with Norway has helped? Looking forward to seeing how we do in 2030.

    • Good start for us with 3 total medals so far.    Angel Rusev took his 6th straight European title.   With this he equals Yoto Yotov and passed a bunch of other Bulgarian legends who have 5.  Above him are Nikolay Peshalov with 8th and Naim Süleymanoğlu with 7th (there could be others with such records, but i don't have the full statistics).   A shame that Rusev's overall level isn't on par on a worldwide scale, but we all know that Europe has practically taken a backseat in weightlifting the past 20 years, with the exception of a few individuals.

    • Looks like i severely overestimated the intelligence of the average Bulgarian.. Tragic result, but will see what happens now. Initial stance last night was that there won't be any EU blockage, but we will be "standing our ground on Bulgaria's interests", whatever that means. The campaign and the whole election cycle was more towards our domestic problems, corruption and status quo. There wasn't much foreign rhetoric, even though everyone knows Radev's position.   It's basically wait and see at this point. Like i mentioned before, this guy isn't as bombastic as Orban, but more tactical and cunning, so i don't expect fireworks in front of whole Europe.  
    • First careers Play-off hattrick for Juraj Slafkovský last night in the opening Stanley Cup Play-Offs 1st round. That was like million years since it happened last time from a Slovak player       
    • Do they have to make every sport a mass sport? There are mass sports and elite sports, and let's keep it that way. Not every sport has to be global, so let them back off and to leave fencing with safe...
    • it will end up like Michael Johnson's Track & Field experiment (I hope) 😈
    • Oh no... They want to destroy another sport The USA and the IOC together

    • To give some insight into how ridiculous Angharad's time was, the mixed relay that includes her, the infamous female breaststroker, is one second quicker than the four that includes Adam ****ing Peaty.   It's VERY rare your quickest mixed 4 includes your female breaststroker - the slowest stroke also creates, generally the biggest 'sex' gap. But if your male stroker is relatively very weak (think USA Tokyo 2020) it can be explained.   When your male stroker is Adam Peaty, backed up by Filip Nowacki, its insane.
    • Doesn't seem to be major changes.   Section 3.B has been updated in relation to the host nation quota to introduce 'eligible' into the criteria. In the new version, 'if the host country has not already qualified an athlete, the highest-placed host country eligible athlete based on the final results of the Olympic Games 2028 Qualification Event will directly obtain a quota place. If the host country has already had one or two athletes qualify via alternate pathways, the host country quota position will not be granted and will be reallocated.'   There is also a change to section F1 and F2 to introduce gender criteria - 'If an allocated quota place is not confirmed by the NOC by the confirmation of quota places deadline, or is declined by the NOC, the quota place will be reallocated to the next highest placed eligible athlete not yet qualified of the same gender from the same qualification event where the quota place was allocated , adhering to the maximum number of quota places per NOC, as outlined above (B.2).'
