With only a few weeks left before the Winter Olympics open in Italy, President Donald Trump has announced his Presidential Delegation, which will be present at the opening ceremonies.
The games begin Feb. 6 at the Milano San Siro Olympic Stadium. And leading the delegation on behalf of the President will be Vice President JD Vance and his spouse, Second Lady Usha Vance. The entire delegation will also include other members of the Trump administration and athletes who’ve won medals at past Winter Olympics.
Other members of the Presidential Winter Olympics Delegation include:
— U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
— U.S. Ambassador to the Italian Republic Tilman Feritta.
— U.S. Women’s Hockey Gold Medalists in the 2018 Winter Olympics Jocelyne Lamoureux-Davidson and Monique Lamoureux-Morando.
— U.S. Short Track Speed Skating Gold Medalist in the 2002 and 2006 Winter Olympics, Apolo Ohno.
— U.S. Figure Skating Gold Medalist in the 2010 Winter Olympics, Evan Lysacek.
Beyond the Presidential Delegation representing the U.S. at the opening ceremony, many other Americans who are not athletes will also take part in the event.
Mariah Carey, who’s won five Grammy Awards, will perform during the opening ceremony.
About 240 athletes who are members of the U.S. Winter Olympics team are projected to compete in the games this year, and that’s nearly evenly split among men and women competitors.
It’s not clear how many U.S. athletes will be in the stadium for those opening events, since some competitors may have events that conflict with the opening ceremony.
The games in Italy will be the 25th Winter Olympics. The first Winter Games began in 1924 in Chamonix, France. American athletes won a total of four medals at the first Winter Olympics 102 years ago, tying Great Britain for third place in the medal count.
