The USA Nordic Team has nominated 45 American athletes to the National and Junior Nordic Combined and Ski Jumping Teams, based on the results from last season. Fourteen of those 45 spots are going to Steamboat athletes.

From the US Ski Team: Athletes will have the option of accepting nominations prior to the 2021-22 season. The final teams for the season will be named this fall. With the Olympics coming up next winter in Beijing, athletes will be striving to earn positions on Team USA. Those nominations and team naming will be announced just prior to the Olympics.
