2023 World University Games U.S. Team Announced

U.S. Ski & Snowboard has announced the 44 student-athletes who will represent the United States in five different sports at the 2023 FISU World University Games in Lake Placid, N.Y., Jan 12-22, 2023. 

The FISU Winter World University Games, which occurs biannually, is the largest multi-sport collegiate event in the world after the Winter Olympics. This year, student-athletes will compete in Lake Placid and represent their countries in the same venues as the 1972 Winter Olympic Games.

The World University Games dates back to 1923 and has since brought together college students between the ages of 17-25 to compete in multiple sports in one centralized location. This year, nearly 1,500 athletes from 43 different countries will compete in 12 disciplines: cross country skiing, alpine skiing, biathlon, figure skating, freestyle skiing, ice hockey, nordic combined, ski jumping, curling, short and long track speed skating and snowboarding. Throughout the 10 days of competition, 86 events will take place with over 250 medal opportunities.
