John-Henry Krueger is the last United States Olympian to medal in the Winter Olympics in Short Track Speed Skating.
The first qualifier for the women is Kristen Santos, who finished fourth last time around for the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics in South Korea. She was close but just missed out for a team that did not medal in the event.
This year she mulled sitting out the qualifiers altogether, but then she came out and swept her first day of events before taking home a qualifying spot for the United States on Saturday.
The final women's slots are up for grabs, with Maame Biney expected to fill one after performing as well as Santos did over the first two days.
On the men’s side, Ryan Pivirotto, Andrew Heo and Brandon Kim—the highest ranked player in the world at the trials for the United States—are all in the mix for the two slots.
Pivirotto made the Olympic team four years ago but did not participate in any events as an alternate. It will be interesting to see who makes the cut for the men’s team and if they can medal in back-to-back Winter Olympics.
Regional restrictions may apply.
