The U.S. Olympic Committee has announced 216 athletes for the
Vancouver Games, including two who have been selected to five
straight teams.
Nordic combined skier Todd Lodwick and luge athlete Mark
Grimmette were chosen for their fifth straight team when the list
was made official early Tuesday. Teams can make changes only in
case of injuries.
Another five-time Olympian is Casey Puckett, who made the
1992, 1994, 1998 and 2002 teams as an Alpine skier. He is
recovering from a shoulder injury, but is expected to compete on
the freestyle team in skicross.
There are 123 men and 93 women on the U.S. team, many of them
in pre-Olympic training camps this week. The Vancouver Olympics
begin on Feb. 12.
