Donald Trump names his Presidential Delegation to attend Winter Olympics in Italy

With only a few weeks left before the Winter Olympics unveil the games in Italy, President Donald Trump has unveiled his Presidential Delegation that 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 during competition in past Winter Olympics.

Other members of the Presidential Winter Olympics Delegation include:

— U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

— U.S. Ambassador of 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 Winte Olympics Evan Lysacek.

Beyond the Presidential Delegation representing the U.S. at the opening ceremony, there will be many other Americans taking part in the event who are not athletes as well.

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 actually be in the stadium for those opening events since some competitors may actually have events that conflict with the time of 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 in that first Winter Olympics 102 years ago, tying Great Brittain for third in the medal count.
