Meet Team USA: A Diverse Team 242 Strong

America will be represented by 108 women and 134 men, who will compete in all 15 disciplines across seven sports

The 242 athletes that will represent the United States in Pyeongchang in February is the largest Winter Olympic team for any nation in history.

The United States Olympic Committee officially announced the members of Team USA on Friday. America will be represented by 108 women and 134 men, who will compete in all 15 disciplines across seven sports.

The U.S. holds the record of 222 competitors at the Sochi Olympics, where it sent 230 athletes. However, eight of those athletes did not end up competing.

Canada is expected to have the second-largest delegation in South Korea with between 220 and 230 athletes.

The team is also the most diverse of any U.S. winter team on record. Ten African-Americans, 11 Asian-Americans and the first two openly gay male athletes (Gus Kenworthy and Adam Rippon) will compete in Pyeongchang. The first African-American women to represent the U.S. in speedskating will be Maame Biney and Erin Jackson, and the first African-American on the U.S. hockey team will be Jordan Greenway.

The full list of U.S. athletes qualified after the teams for every sport were named with the last being cross-country skiing Friday morning.

The headliners are Alpine skiers Lindsey Vonn, Mikaela Shiffrin and Ted Ligety and snowboarders Shaun White, Kelly Clark and Jamie Anderson, all Olympic champions.

Star first-time Olympians include figure skater Nathan Chen and snowboarder Chloe Kim.

While Alpine skiers Steven Nyman and Jackie Wiles were listed on the roster, Team USA said they would not compete due to injuries.. The U.S. added Tricia Mangan and Alice Merryweather as replacements.

Seven Skiers were added to the U.S. Olympic Team, including Stacey Cook and Steven Nyman, who will be competing in their fourth Olympic Games.

Some notables:

Oldest U.S. Olympian: Brian Gionta (39, hockey), the only athlete on the team born in the 1970s. Pyeongchang would be the first Summer or Winter Olympics without a U.S. competitor 40 years or older since 1994.

Youngest U.S. Olympian: Vincent Zhou (17, figure skating). Pyeongchang would be the first Summer or Winter Olympics without a U.S. competitor younger than 17 since the 1988 Calgary Winter Games. (not counting Erika Brown, who competed in the demonstration sport of curling in Calgary at age 15)

Most Olympic experience: Kikkan Randall (cross-country skiing) and Kelly Clark (snowboard halfpipe) are going to compete in their fifth Olympics, a record for a U.S. female athlete.

Most Olympic medals: Shani Davis (speed skating) with four (two golds, two silvers). J.R. Celski (short track speedskating) and Clark each have three medals.
