On January 6, local time, according to the National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC), more than 200 American athletes are expected to participate in the Beijing Winter Olympics, and 74 American athletes have qualified for the Beijing Winter Olympics or been selected for the list of sports teams in various sports in the United States.

According to reports, by the end of January, more athletes in the United States skating, skiing and skating sports will receive tickets to the Beijing Winter Olympic Games through domestic and international Olympic trials and qualifications. Among them, the list of participants in figure skating will be announced after the end of the National Figure Skating Championships on January 9. Alpine skiing will be based on the results of this season's World Cup (until 16 January).

At the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, the U.S. Winter Olympic delegation sent a total of 242 athletes to participate, setting a record for the highest number of participants in the previous Winter Olympics participating countries and regions, and won a total of 9 gold, 8 silver and 6 bronze in 11 events, creating a record for a single Winter Olympics winning project. At present, the American athletes who have received tickets to the Beijing Winter Olympics to confirm the team's participation list include two Winter Olympic gold medalists, alpine skier Severin, and snowboarder Chloe Jin.

It is worth mentioning that at this week's American Figure Skating Championships, the defending champion Nee rim/Fraser team announced his retirement because of Fraser's positive new crown test result. However, the United States won two places in the Winter Olympics pair skating event, and Nereem/Fraser was highly likely to qualify by applying.
