Eight Team Sprint Athletes qualify for 2002 games!
(And Picabo just might make it nine.)

Chances are, anywhere you look this February in Salt Lake City, you'll see a Sprint Athlete. Eight Team Sprint Athletes have qualified for the 2002 games already and one more Sprint athlete should know if she's going this week.

Joe Pack, Brian Currutt, Jonny Moseley, Evan Dybvig, Hannah Hardaway, Lisa Kosglow, Kristina Koznick and Jim Shea, Jr. have all qualified. 1998 Gold medalist and Picabo Street is currently attempting to qualify for her third Olympic appearance.

No matter what event is your favorite, Team Sprint is there. Here's a breakdown of who is competing in the six competitions:

Men's Aerials

Joe Pack and Brian Currutt will be representing the U.S.A. in the men's aerials competition. Joe was ranked second in the world in the 2001 World Cup aerial standings, and has brought an insider's view to sprint.com/sports with his online diary. Brian "Curdog" Currutt, who finished in the top seven in every 1999 World Cup, was fourth overall in the 1999 World Cup aerials standings.

Men's Moguls

1998 Olympic Gold Medalist Jonny Moseley will be looking for a repeat in men's moguls. Moseley captured the first U.S.A. gold medal in freestyle moguls at the 1998 games in Nagano, Japan with his daring "360 mute-grab." Jonny will be joined by 2000 U.S. Moguls champion Evan Dybvig, who will be making his second Olympic appearance. Evan has been ranked 7th in the world in moguls skiing.

Women's Moguls

Sprint will be represented in women's moguls by 2000 and 2001 U.S. Mogul champion Hannah Hardaway Hannah enters the games with two first-place World Cup finishes in 2001.

Women's Alpine

Kristina Koznick will compete in women's slalom as the only alpine skier on Team Sprint. Kristina is currently ranked second in the world in slalom.

Women's Snowboard

Lisa Kosglow has qualified in women's snowboard competition. See Lisa's Journal on sprint.com/sports to get her insights into training, competition and world travel as a U.S. Snowboard athlete. Lisa has been competing this season on a snowboard with Sprint graphics designed especially for her.

Men's Skeleton

In 1999, Jimmy Shea became the first American to win the Skeleton World Championships. The skeleton—a headfirst cousin of the luge—was an Olympic event in 1928 and again in 1948. It’s making its return at this year’s Winter Games—in part, due to Shea’s performance. The host country has a strong voice in which new sports are added to the Games, and with an American as the sport’s world champ, the skeleton was at the top of the list.

Shea is the first third-generation Olympic athlete—following in the footsteps of his father Jim Shea Sr., who made the Olympic team in 1964, and his late grandfather Jack Shea, who won two gold medals at the 1932 Winter Games.

Sprint is proud to wish all the Sprint Team Athletes the best of luck as they represent the U.S.A. in Salt Lake City!
