Biathlon is the only winter sport in which an American has yet to capture an Olympic medal. Aiming to change that next month are the eight biathletes who were officially named Sunday to Team USA’s 2022 Olympic roster, with five returnees and three aligning sights on first-time Games action.

She produced two of the United States’ three world-championship podium finishes in the last five years; since-retired Lowell Bailey‘s 2017 title is the third.

She and Dunklee have announced they’ll join Bailey in retirement at the end of this season. Read More
