It was directly Mikaela Shiffrin to indicate the choices of the United States federation to draw up the teams that, overall, will count on 43 athletes divided between the female and male sectors.
The beacon of the whole movement had fun on instagram to interview the teammates with whom he will live next winter, that of the highly anticipated return of the one who won 3 consecutive World Cups, before giving the scepter to Federica Brignone at the end of a 2019/2020 season in which everything happened, even and especially on a personal level for Shiffrin. With the absolute leader of the stars and stripes team, only the downhill riders Laurenne Ross and Breezy Johnson were included in the national team A, much awaited after the long ordeal suffered due to various injuries.
The other quality athletes that US Ski Team proposes always come from the speed sector, with McKennis, Wiles and Merryweather in team B, together with the young Cashman and O''Brien and slalomist Moltzan.
National A richer male instead, with many veterans willing to continue playing something important: like Ted Ligety, 36 years old next August, but also the sprinters Nyman and Ganong, who will form an excellent quartet with Bennett and Cochran-Siegle . And then there's Tommy Ford, the only one capable of winning last season with the first ring in the World Cup signed in the home giant in Beaver Creek. In team B, among others, we find the talented River Radamus, the sprinter Jared Goldberg and the slalomist Luke Winters, whom everyone remembers above all for the incredible first race held in Val d'Isère.
