Team USA
On the men's side for Team USA, the John Shuster-skipped team that won gold in 2018 will be returning to the Olympics to defend their title. Fellow 2018 gold medalists Matt Hamilton and John Landsteiner remain on Shuster's squad, and they'll be joined by Chris Plys, who replaces Tyler George.
The Nina Roth-led women's squad didn't win a medal in 2018, but Roth will once again be representing the U.S. at the Olympics. This time, though, she won't be serving as her team's skip. Instead, it will be Tabitha Peterson skipping the women's team alongside Roth, Tara Peterson and Becca Hamilton.
Plys and Vicky Persinger, meanwhile, will be representing the U.S. in the mixed doubles competition. They earned their trip to Beijing with their dominant run at December's Olympic Qualification Event in the Netherlands.
