They range in age from 15-year-old Abby Winterberger, a freeskier from California, to Rich Ruohonen, a 54-year-old curler from Minnesota. Others are returning to compete in snowboarding, bobsledding, ice hockey and figure skating.
A new sport this year: ski mountaineering.
The Winter Olympics kicks off with the Opening Ceremony on Feb. 6 and runs through Feb. 22.
