2023 copper mountain dew tour preview.

Next weekend, Copper Mountain Resort in Copper, Colo. will welcome back the best freeskiers and snowboarders for two days of unrivaled competition at the Dew Tour. Skiers and snowboarders from around the world will travel to Copper and compete in various events. Dew Tour kicks off Feb. 24th and goes until Sunday, Feb. 26th.

This year, 14 U.S. Ski & Snowboard athletes were invited to compete in the slopestyle, halfpipe, super streetstyle, and s uperpipe high air & best trick jam contests. Dew Tours signature super streetstyle competition will be doubled in size this year which will allow for a larger, more diverse athlete pool and gives onsite spectators a better viewing experience. All invited halfpipe competitors will get the chance to compete in the superpipe high air & best trick jam, where they will showcase their amplitude, creativity, and style.

Olympic gold medalist Alex Hall will be competing in the Dew Tour slopestyle event after having a very successful season thus far, with a silver medal at the Laax Open and multiple top 10 results. Hall will be a great skier to watch out for as he is hungry to add more podiums to his repertoire this season. Joining him will be teammate Colby Stevenson who is coming off of a win at the Kings & Queens of Corbet's in Jackson Hole, Wyo., as well as a gold medal at the Aspen X Games slopestyle event.

Reigning 2021 Dew Tour gold medalist, Alex Ferriera, will be returning to the halfpipe to claim his title on Saturday, Feb. 25th, along with several teammates who have been around the world competing in World Cups, most recently in Calgary, Canada and Mammoth Lakes, Calif.

On the snowboard front, Colorado locals Red Gerard and Taylor Gold are set to drop in. Gerard will compete in slopestyle and Gold in halfpipe. U.S. Snowboard Pro Team athlete Sonora Alba will be one of the halfpipe ladies to look out for during this event. Alba's first Dew Tour was back in 2020 which secured her a spot to the U.S. Burton Open and eventually landed her onto the U.S. Pro Snowboard Halfpipe team in 2021. In the 2022-23 season, the snowboarders have competed around the world, most recently in halfpipe and slopestyle contests in Laax, Switzerland, Aspen, Colo., Mammoth Mountain, Cali., and Calgary, Canada.

Live Ski and Snowboard Coverage From Dew Tour: Halfpipe, Slopestyle, and More

Why Dew Tour Is a Big Deal

The U.S. Snowboard and Freeski teams have had a packed competition season. Halfpipe, big air, and slopestyle teams competed at the Big Air FIS World Cup (Dec. 2-4) and the U.S. Grand Prix FIS World Cup (Dec. 8-10) earlier this month.

Plus, many winter athletes are riding full-steam toward the 2022 Beijing Olympics Winter Games.

This weekend, skiers and snowboarders will compete in slopestyle and pipe competitions at the Winter Dew Tour, one of the last Olympic qualifying events on U.S. turf. (Dew Tour was also an Olympic qualifier for freeskiing and snowboarding back in 2014 and 2018.)

Needless to say, Dew Tour is where the action is. And if you aren’t going in person, our live coverage is the place to be.

Many athletes riding at Dew Tour are vying for points to make their way up the FIS rankings, which factors into their Olympic qualifications. Who will podium at Dew Tour? Which skiers and snowboarders will rise to the top ranks? Stay tuned to find out.

Halfpipe Coverage

The halfpipe competition has athletes competing inside Copper Mountain’s 22-foot superpipe. In the finals, each athlete will get three runs (scored on a 100-point system) to show their stuff. The best one of their three runs determines their final rank.

Men’s Ski

Here are the 10 male freeskiers who made it onto the start list for finals:

David Wise, USA
Noah Bowman, Canada
Nico Porteous, New Zealand
Brendan MacKay, Canada
Lyman Currier, USA
Aaron Blunk, USA
Alex Ferreira, USA
Simon D’Artois, Canada
Hunter Hess, USA
Birk Irving, USA

Final winners

Gold : Alex Ferreira, USA
Silver : Aaron Blunk, USA
Bronze : Brendan MacKay, Canada

U.S. athletes Birk Irving and David Wise followed up the podium pack in places fourth and fifth.

Men’s Snowboard

Here are the 10 male snowboarders who made it onto the start list for finals:

Ayumu Hirano, Japan
Ruka Hirano, Japan
Yuto Totsuka, Japan
Shaun White, USA
Andre Hoeflich, Germany
Chase Josey, USA
Taylor Gold, USA
Jan Scherrer, Switzerland
Valentino Guseli, Australia
Joey Okesson, USA

As expected, several athletes from Japan and the U.S. have stacked the ranked in the top 10. Though the big surprise was U.S. snowboarder Danny Davis, who finished 12th, just short of making it to finals.

Gold : Yuto Totsuka, Japan
Silver : Taylor Gold, USA
Bronze : Ruko Hirano, Japan

Women’s Ski

Here are the eight female freeskiers who made it onto the start list for finals:

Eileen Gu, China
Kelly Sildaru, Estonia
Zoe Atkin, Great Britain
Fanghui Li, China
Hanna Faulhaber, USA
Cassie Sharpe, Canada
Brita Sigourney, USA
Kexin Zhang, China
Gold: Eileen Gu, China
Silver: Kelly Sildaru, Estonia
Bronze: Hanna Faulhaber, USA

Women’s Snowboard

Here are the eight female riders who made it onto the start list for finals:

Maddie Maestro, USA
Chloe Kim, USA
Xuetong Cai, China
Queralt Castellet, Spain
Mitsuki Ono, Japan
Ruki Tomita, Japan
Sena Tomita, Japan
Haruna Matsumoto, Japan

Similar to men’s halfpipe, Japan absolutely dominated the women’s halfpipe board. Though, U.S. pros Maddie Maestro and Chloe Kim have still got to be the favorites headed to finals.

Gold : Chloe Kim, USA
Silver : Queralt Castellet, Spain
Bronze : Cai Xuetong, China

Slopestyle Coverage

Here’s how slopestyle works: Competitors will get three runs to show their skills. They are scored on a point system out of 100. Here are the 10 male freeskiers who made it onto the start list for finals:

Colby Stevenson, USA
Oliwer Magnusson, Sweden
Fabian Boesch, Switzerland
Nick Goepper, USA
Etienne Gagnon, Canada
Evan McEachran, Canada
Alex Hall, USA
Mark Hendrickson, Canada
Mac Forehand, USA
Finn Bilous, New Zealand
Gold: Colby Stevenson, USA
Silver: Alex Hall, USA
Bronze: Nick Goepper, USA

Men’s ski slopestyle finals saw a ton of talent, but U.S. athletes ended up dominating the podium. Moreso, both first- and second-place finishers are from Park City, Utah: 23-year-old Alex Hall and 24-year-old Colby Stevenson.

Same as the men’s competition format, female slopestyle skiers will compete in three runs, where they are scored on a 100-point scale and then ranked by their best run.

This time at Dew Tour, qualifiers were postponed, meaning the whole field of 16 freeskiers will compete in the three-run final. Skiers to watch in the women’s slopestyle include Eileen Gu — who could potentially podium twice in one day in slopestyle and halfpipe — and Sarah Hoefflin, Giulia Tanno, Johanne Killi, Mathilde Gremaud, along with frontrunner and fan-favorite Tess Ledeux. Plus, U.S. skier and Dew Tour rookie Bella Bacon.

Gold: Tess Ledeux, France
Silver: Eileen Gu, China
Bronze : Johanne Killi, Norway

Speed was a huge factor with the women’s snowboard slopestyle competition Saturday morning, with big names like U.S. riders Jamie Anderson, Julia Marino, and Courtney Rummel (finishing in 4th place) missing the podium spots.

Gold: Zoi Sadowski-Synnott, New Zealand
Silver : Enni Rukajarvi, Finland
Bronze : Kokomo Murase, Japan

Men’s snowboard slopestyle finals saw an absolute epic performance from all the top athletes, but U.S. athlete and reigning Dew Tour 2020 champion Red Gerard ended up pulling the first place spot with his final run. A third U.S. pro snowboarder Sean FitzSimons finished in fourth place behind snowboard star Mark McMorris.

Gold : Red Gerard, USA
Silver : Chris Corning, USA
Bronze : Mark McMorris, Canada

Adaptive Snowboard Slalom

The only adaptive event at Dew Tour, 16 male and 10 female athletes will compete on the adaptive snowboard slalom course. They’ll be timed on two runs, and the fastest of two runs counts. The women will compete first, then the men.

Women’s final winners

Gold: Kiana Clay, USA
Silver: Peggy Martin, USA
Bronze: Annika Hutsler, USA

Men’s final winners

Gold: Matti Suur-Hamari, Finland
Silver: Owen Pick, Great Britain
Bronze: John Leslie, Canada

Monster Energy Athletes Claim Top Spots At 2023 Dew Tour Copper Mountain

01 MAR 2023
Competitive

Monster Energy congratulates its team of snow sports athletes on a strong performance in the 2023 Winter Dew Tour Copper Mountain competition in Colorado this weekend.

In Saturday’s Women’s Snowboard Superpipe final, 14-year-old Gaon Choi from Seoul, South Korea, clinched her second major 2023 season win with a perfect run. Monster Energy riders claimed the two top spots in Men’s Ski Superpipe, with 25-year-old Brendan Mackay from Calgary, Canada, taking first place and 32-year-old David Wise from Reno, Nevada, in second. The new Ski Super Streetstyle contest saw 25-year-old Colby Stevenson take first place, joined on the podium by Alex Hall from Park City, Utah, in third place. Also, in Ski Super Streetstyle, Canadian rookie Edouard Therriault brought home the Papa John’s “Flip It Award” for the night’s best trick. In the competitive Men’s Snowboard Superpipe final, 24-year-old Ayumu Hirano from Murakami, Japan, earned a dominant victory. He also received the U.S. Air Force Snowboard Highest Air award for a 22.8 feet aerial as well as the U.S. Air Force MVP Award.

From February 24-26, 2023, the iconic Copper Mountain resort in the Rocky Mountains hosted a flurry of men’s and women’s ski and snowboard competitions. More than 60 of the world’s top athletes competed in Superpipe, Super Streetstyle, and a new Superpipe High Air & Best Trick Jam presented by U.S. Air Force.

Here are the highlights for team Monster Energy at Dew Tour Copper Mountain 2023:

Women’s Snowboard Superpipe: Monster Energy’s Gaon Choi Soars into First Place

For Saturday’s Women’s Snowboard Superpipe final, the legendary Copper Mountain Superpipe with its 22-foot high walls was running smoothly under blue skies. The international roster of riders featured a brand-new podium threat: 14-year-old Gaon Choi from Seoul, South Korea, came to Copper Mountain after her surprise victory at X Games Aspen 2023. And she had no issues maintaining that winning trajectory.

Facing heat from 11-year-old snowboarding prodigy Patti Zhou from China, Choi displayed calm and strategy beyond her years by steadily raising the risk level in her runs. On Run 3, the teenage phenom secured the win by combining switch backside 900 mute, Cab 720 melon, huge frontside 1080 melon, and switch 900 melon on the last wall for 98.33 points and the Dew Tour Copper Women’s Superpipe title.

“I’m so happy and proud of myself,” said Choi, 14, upon winning Women’s Snowboard Superpipe at Dew Tour Copper Mountain.

At X Games Aspen 2023 in January, Choi made history as the youngest competitor to take Snowboard SuperPipe gold at X Games and the first Winter X Games medalist for South Korea. She trains with Monster Energy team rider and snowboard phenom Chloe Kim .

Before stepping into the pro leagues, Choi won the 2022 World Junior Snowboarding Championships and was undefeated across four amateur-level halfpipe events on the 2022 FIS Revolution Tour.

Men’s Freeski Superpipe: Monster Energy’s Brendan Mackay Takes the Win, David Wise Earns Second Place

The wins kept coming in the Men’s Freeski Superpipe final. In a heated session, 25-year-old Brendan Mackay from Calgary, Canada, proceeded to put down consistent runs with airs executed above 18-feet high while constantly increasing the difficulty level – all the way to claiming the victory!

After breaking the 90-point score barrier on Run 3, Mackay clinched the victory on Run 4 by putting together a big switch alley-oop double flatspin 900, switch double cork 1080 truck driver, huge rightside tailgrab 900, left double cork 1260 tailgrab, into a clean rightside double cork 1260 mute for 93.00 points.

“It means a lot. I’ve never won Dew Tour, and I’m very stoked to add it to my repertoire,” said Mackay, 25, upon taking the win at Dew Tour Copper 2023. “It was great skiing today, and everyone was putting it down. Thanks for coming out everyone.”

It’s been a successful season for the Canadian: Before coming to Copper Mountain, Mackay claimed second place at the Mammoth Grand Prix event in California. Mackay finished the 2022/23 FIS World Cup season and Crystal Globe race in second place behind American Birk Irving in the top spot.

Also rising to the podium, 32-year-old David Wise from Reno, Nevada, came to Copper Mountain after earning his fifth X Games gold medal in Superpipe at X Games Aspen 2023. Starting his Dew Tour appearance with a perfect first run, the veteran and two-time Olympic gold medalist rose all the way to second place.

In his highest-scoring run, Wise put down switch right 900 tailgrab, switch down the pipe left double cork 1080, rightside tailgrab 900, and a combo of back-to-back double 1260 mute both ways for 87.00 points.

“I’m 32 years old now, and everyone keeps calling me the old guy. But the reality is I wouldn’t be out here if I wasn’t enjoying it,” said Monster Energy’s Wise.

Team USA’s Wise is a two-time Olympic champion (2014, 2018) in Freeski Halfpipe and owns five X Games gold medals in the discipline.

Ski Super Streetstyle: Colby Stevenson Claims First Place, Alex Hall Finishes in Third Place

This year’s Streetstyle event featured an upgraded course at double the previous size, spawning the new title Ski Super Streetstyle. When all was said and done, one rider had the perfect bag of tricks and creative combos for the course on Saturday night: 25-year-old Colby Stevenson from Park City, Utah.

Throughout the final contested in an elimination format, Stevenson displayed his consistency and diverse trick selection across the course featuring rails, pole jams, transfer options, and a quarterpipe. In the first heat, Stevenson put down a big backside 360 switch-up with a transfer right 450 switch pretzel 270 for 86.66 points and a ticket to the next round.

When the format switched to head-to-head matchups, Stevenson retained the upper hand against Sam Zahner by landing a big switch backslide and creative transfer disaster to coast into the finals. Maintaining his edge, Stevenson put down his best runs when it counted and earned the win with highlights such as Pretzel 450 off the waterfall rail in the upper section, blind 360 Switchup on the transfer, and right 450 out for 92.99 points.

Stevenson won gold in Slopestyle and Big Air in his X Games debut in 2020. He has also earned nine World Cup podiums in slopestyle since 2017 and brought home silver in Ski Big Air at the 2022 Winter Olympics.

Also rising to the podium, 24-year-old Alex Hall from Park City, Utah, earned third place by putting his unique technical riding skills on full display. In the first heat, the Olympic gold medalist in Ski Slopestyle landed Double transfer up in the first section, switch lip 270 Back 450 out for 81.33 points.

Facing Andrew Egan in the head-to-head round, Hall earned his way into the final by landing nose butter 450 on the first rail, switch right 270 continuing 270, left backside switch up, and finally, his signature switch 270 on, switch 270 out. In the final, Hall dealt with some wobbly landings and received 70.00 points and third place.

End of story? Not quite! The Streetstyle event also contested Papa John’s “Flip It Award” for the night’s best trick. Rising to the challenge, 20-year-old Edouard Therriault from Lorraine, Canada, stoked the crowd and judges with a unique move: A huge Rodeo 540 on the wallride at the bottom of the course netted the trophy for the Canadian.

Men’s Freeski Superpipe: Monster Energy’s Ayumu Hirano Earns Dominant Victory

The Men’s Snowboard Superpipe final on Sunday turned into a nail-biting drama when Ayumu Hirano struggled to get a clean run on his first two attempts. But on the third run, the 24-year-old from Murakami, Japan, finally found his flow and secured the lead with 93.00 points. He even upped the ante on his fourth and final run for a dominant win.

In his highest-scoring fourth run, Hirano put together a huge frontside double cork 1440 mute into a switch double cork 1440 mute, hyper-extended slob crippler, and a finishing combo of corked backside 1260 and frontside 1260 for 96.66 points, and the win.

When it came time to crown the winner of the U.S. Air Force Snowboard Highest Air award, Hirano clinched the top spot for landing a massive 22.8 feet aerial. And rounding out the trophies, Hirano clinched the U.S. Air Force MVP Award for best rider of the weekend.

At Dew Tour Copper Mountain 2021, Hirano made history as the first rider to land a triple cork aerial in competition. Hirano, who also competes at an Olympic level in Skateboard Park, earned the gold medal in Snowboard Halfpipe at the 2022 Beijing Winter Games.

Dew Tour Copper 2023 - It’s Just A Numbers Game

Tucked between the atmospheric rivers pounding the west coast and intermountain west, Dew Tour Copper 2023 provided the perfect reprieve for freeskiing and riding fans and athletes to celebrate this record-setting snow season. On our count, this year ‘s Dew Tour marks the franchise's 14th winter contest with Copper Mountain at the hosting helm for the last three years. Streamlined and dialed for crowd-pleasing high energy and style, the competition line up included: Super Streetstyle, Superpipe, Superpipe High Air and Best Trick Jam. Event masterminds didn’t disappoint. Known on comp circuits for its creativity and mixed-up contest formats to achieve ultimate crowd stoke, Dew Tour 2023 delivered high airs and big tricks.

Without Winter Olympic trials this year, athletes had more freedom to bring the stoke for the crowds. Olympic Gold Medalist Snowboarder, MTN DEW team rider and Summit County local Red Gerard commented ahead of the event, “The competitions will have some fun new course evolutions, so I’m hyped about the whole weekend!”

When you really get down to it, Dew Tour 2023 proved that age truly is just a number.

“Patti Zhou” - if you haven’t heard her name, it’s only a matter of time. Born in Beijing and now calling Silverthorne, Colorado home base, Zhou made mark in her inaugural Dew Tour appearance in the snowboard Superpipe and Super Streetstyle events. Zhou’s debut resulted in a second place finish in Snowboard Superpipe, becoming the youngest athlete to ever land a winter Dew Tour podium (and the second-youngest ever at any Dew Tour event). Let’s also mention that she came in second to South Korean Gaon Choi who earned the top spot. According to Gaon’s bio, she was “practically raised riding a snowboard, and can also throw down on four wheels at skateparks and vert ramps.” All at the spritely age of 14.

Zhou said, "I feel so excited and so thankful to be here. All these great people mixed up all together inspired me to go bigger and have more style.” She also told the Associated Press, “I’m having so much fun learning from everybody! Contests like this make me want to skate and surf and snowboard forever.”

We’re so here for it.

And then…there’s the young at heart. Just cresting the five-decade mark at 52, Mix Master Mike brought the vibes and mixed up classic tunes to a packed crowd on Saturday night. Nestled between competitions, under the bright lights of the Streetstyle course, Mike lit up the stage, entertaining his contemporaries and those born after 2012, the year he was inducted into the Rock ’n Roll Hall of Fame with the Beastie Boys. (He may or may not have taken a few crowd selfies along the way.)

Known for his love of both DJing and snowboarding, entertaining fans surrounded by snow feels like home for this musical pioneer, named the “the world’s greatest DJ” by USA Today. From the 2010 Vancouver Olympics and 2014 Emmy Awards, Mix Master Mike has turned his tables for the people, from presidents to celebrities to packed crowds in the mountains.

According to an interview with The Denver Post, “I love it. I love the snow. I just love being out there,” he said, “It's always good to come back (to Colorado) and revisit old friends and see whole new generations of kids who aren’t really kids anymore. “ Mike continued, “Yeah, there is always a new society of kids coming up, and so you’ve just got to hammer that generation in the head with some dope new (bleep).”

On the final day of the comp, crowds got a taste of chaos, also known as the Superpipe High Air & Best Trick Jam presented by the U.S. Air Force. Bomb Hole host Chris Grenier described the session as a “complete trainwreck of awesomeness,” and analyst Todd Richards called it “the mullet portion of Dew Tour: we had the business up front, and now we have the party in the back.”

Ayumu Hirano, sending a “wild, loose no-grab air to fakie, rolling down the windows at 22 feet, 8 inches on the edge of disaster to take the prize” according to the Dew Tour website, took home the top prize while battling it out in heavy snow conditions. With cash flowing (judges literally handing out stacks of cash for individual tricks during the contest), the athletes showed up, fired up, snow be damned. Ultimately, Hirano earned the MVP honors of the session. The judges awarded Zhou the “Best Time” honors on Sunday, as she clearly was having the best time of her 11-year old life.

Dew Tour 2023 Results and BTS Photos

The Dew Tour wrapped in Copper, Colorado and It’s hard to argue, that despite any podium results, that the unequivocal “winner” of the Dew Tour was 11 year old Patti Zhou. With each interview, her responses seemed to grow in hilarity, so we made compilation.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by SlushMag (@slushthemagazine)

Beyond the star power that Patti brought into this broadcast, we are also shown a glimpse into the budding rivalry that is likely to ensue between Zhou and Gaon Choi, the 14 year old Korean pipe rider who also just took gold at X Games, and will likely enter a long run of podiums so long as Chloe Kim continues to refrain from competition.

Men’s superpipe turned out to be quite the nail biter as well, with Taylor Gold and Ayumu Hirano, relying on their final runs to propel them into the top two spots. Ayumu would successfully put down a pair of 1440s, a crippler, back 9, straight into frontside 1260 to earn a score of 96.66. Gold came back from last position into second in his last run with a solid line packed with one massive air to fakie that sticks with us. Raibu Katayama on the other hand, entered the contest swinging, as his first run would hold him in podium position for the entirety of the contest.

We would be remiss to not mention that perhaps our favorite part was when Ayumu denied doing an interview after his winning run.

After the Superpipe contest wrapped, a Big Air jam ensued with both skiers and snowboarders. Ayumu and Raibu battled back and forth for highest air, with Atom ultimately winning the day with a massive 22’ 8” air. The most important takeaway here was that Snowboarders went bigger than skiers.

On the other end of the spectrum was the streetsyle event. The format broke riders into three separate heats of four riders, the top two advancing to a head to head round that would dictate the final three riders facing off in finals.

In the women’s comp, Alexis Roland would prove victorious through the help of a switchback 50 combo and full pulls through the course.

Slush Mag Rookie if the year, Egan Wint brought the heat while dawning a pink cast on her wrist with Hot Coco head honcho Maria Thomsen taking third place despite a bone bruise on her knee that was making even walking a challenge.

The “Papa Johns Flip It Award'' (yea, we don't know) was awarded to Jaylen Hanson for her impressive Front Board Pretzel. Jaylen rode incredibly well.

The men’s competition wrapped the whole event, as the legs of completion brought on a number of upsets in the second round, as one of the favorites to win, Darcy Sharpe was eliminated by LJ Henriquez. Nate Haust seemed to be unbeatable though as his winning run consisted of a 450 out that was simply bolts, which combined with his other tricks gave him a score of 92.33. Haust was also awarded the Papa Johns Flip It Award for the Cab 270 on, 450 out for the $2,500 cash prize. Haust won after a tense couple minutes in the corale standing next to Benny Milam, who also had an impressive run

Dew Tour results: Aspen’s Ferreira finishes undefeated, Mastro back on top

Copper Mountain Resort was the place to be on Saturday. Not only did skiers and riders pile into the ski resort’s parking lots for the four inches of new snow that fell in the last 24 hours, but guests also arrived to watch professional athletes perform on the second day of the Winter Dew Tour.

Prior to the action beginning on Saturday morning, the men’s ski streetstyle competition ended the first day of competition on Friday night.

Men’s ski streetstyle

Park City’s Colby Stevenson led the men’s ski streetstyle competition, successfully advancing out of his heat and all the way to the final round of three athletes, which consisted of Tucker FitzSimons of Hood River, Oregon, and Alex Hall, also of Park City.

For the second Dew Tour in a row, the three American skiers faced off against one another under the bright lights shining upon the terrain park. In uncanny fashion, Stevenson, FitzSimons and Hall not only competed against each other in the final round of the streestyle competition, but also finished in the same exact order.

Stevenson put on a show, scoring 96 to win the competition two years in a row. FitzSimons placed second (90) and Hall took third (84).

Men’s ski superpipe .

Under bluebird skies on Saturday morning, the men’s ski superpipe final led off Day 2 of the Winter Dew Tour. With eight freeski athletes lining up at the top of Copper’s 22-foot superpipe, Aspen’s Tristan Feinberg was the first athlete to smoothly drop in over the icy halfpipe wall.

Feinberg, 20, looked decently smooth on his first run, flying out of the pipe and scoring 50 on his first of three runs.

Feinberg was soon followed by fellow Aspenite Alex Ferreira, who looked to return to the Dew Tour podium after finishing fourth last winter.

Undefeated so far this season in six prior competitions, Ferreira did not hold back on his first run, landing two 1620s — a full 4.5 rotations in the air — to earn the top-run score of 92.66 after the first round.

Trying to match Ferreira’s score in the 90s was Dew Tour defending champion Brendan Mackay of Canada, and the blue-jean-clad Nick Goepper of Indiana.

Mackay scored 90 with multiple double corks to rank second, while Goepper sat in third with a score of 87.66.

The trio of experienced skiers worked to separate themselves further from the rest of the field on their second runs. The run pulsed energy into the crowd and awakened Goepper’s hunger to challenge Ferreira for the top spot.

Ferreira made Goepper’s pursuit for a Dew Tour title a little bit harder on his second run, perfecting his run to jump his top score to 94.33.

Heading into the final round of runs, it was Ferreira, Goepper and Mackay in the three podium spots. Goepper and Mackay both tried to land runs that were diverse and skilled enough to overtake Ferreira, but they could not match the firepower of the reigning Olympic bronze medalist.

Finishing off his perfect, undefeated season, Ferreira won the Dew Tour with a top-run score of 94.33.

“It started with a dub, and it ended with a dub,” Ferreira said. “I can’t believe it. It is the most unbelievable feeling I have ever had. This is sincerely the best day of my life. I could not thank anyone and everyone that has been on my side. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

After winning seven out of seven competitions he lined up for this season, Ferreira will now enter the offseason eager to chase more podiums over the next two winters.

“The biggest goal is still coming, and that is 2026 Olympic gold,” Ferreira said. “I am going to work my ass off every single day. I am going to go to the gym, go train and have a beautiful time doing it — enjoy every second of it.”

Despite not being able to top Ferreira, Goepper finished in second with a score of 91, and Mackay took third with a score of 90.33. Feinberg placed sixth with a top run score of 76.

Women’s snowboard superpipe

Following a competitive men’s ski superpipe final, female riders took to the massive halfpipe for the women’s snowboard superpipe final.

Lining up against seasoned veterans, California’s Maddie Mastro, Japan’s Mitsuki Ono, and 12-year-old Summit resident Patti Zhou dropped in to lead off the competition.

Despite being younger than the rest of the field, Zhou once again proved she belongs in the halfpipe, putting together a backside 540, frontside 720, cab 720 and backside 720 to get on the scoreboard with a first run score of 70.33.

Zhou — who competes for China — was followed by Spain’s Queralt Castellet, who returned to the Copper superpipe after taking a major slam at the U.S. Grand Prix at Copper back in December.

The five-time Olympian pushed past her fears of another fall to score a 25 on her first run.

Mastro soon dropped into the pipe and got huge amplitude over the halfpipe walls and ended the run with a front 540 crippler. Mastro scored 80.33 to trail Ono in first (90.33) and China’s Jiayu Liu in second (85.33).

Sitting right off the podium heading into her second run, Zhou tried to clean up her run on her second go at the pipe. With style and confidence, Zhou controlled herself down the pipe, but scrubbed out on one of the final hits of the wall.

Meanwhile, Mastro tried to drastically improve upon her first run, landing an inverted 720, but came up a little bit short on her signature double crippler.

With a top score of 90.33, Ono continued to lead the competition heading into the field’s third and final runs.

Zhou made an attempt to crack onto the podium, but came up a few points short, falling on her final run while trying to land a backside 900. Zhou finished in seventh with a top run score of 70.33.

Trying to pull closer to Ono, Liu put everything on the line, putting another strong run together. Liu scored 86.33, which was not enough to top her second run score of 88.

Still maintaining third, Mastro went huge on her final run, singing down the steep slope and stomping the double crippler on the final hit of the superpipe wall.

The run shot Mastro past Ono with a score of 92.66, which was enough to defeat Ono for the Dew Tour title.

“It has been amazing,” Mastro said. “I haven’t even won a contest in five years. I have kind of been that second-place, third-place girl for a while, so I am very grateful to end that five-year streak and land on the podium again.”

Ono took second (90.33) and Liu finished in third (88). Additionally, Castellet finished in fifth (77) and Avon’s Zoe Kalapos placed eighth (58.33).

The Winter Dew Tour will conclude on Sunday with finals in women’s ski superpipe and men’s snowboard superpipe. China’s Eileen Gu will be featured in the women’s superpipe, which is slated for 9 a.m.

Monster Energy congratulates its team of snow sports athletes on a strong performance in the 2023 Winter Dew Tour Copper Mountain competition in Colorado this weekend.

COPPER, Colo. , Feb. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- This is what storming the podium looks like! Monster Energy congratulates its team of snow sports athletes on a strong performance in the 2023 Winter Dew Tour Copper Mountain competition in Colorado this weekend.

In Saturday's Women's Snowboard Superpipe final, 14-year-old Gaon Choi from Seoul, South Korea , clinched her second major 2023 season win with a perfect run. Monster Energy riders claimed the two top spots in Men's Ski Superpipe, with 25-year-old Brendan Mackay from Calgary, Canada , taking first place and 32-year-old David Wise from Reno, Nevada , in second. The new Ski Super Streetstyle contest saw 25-year-old Colby Stevenson take first place, joined on the podium by Alex Hall from Park City, Utah , in third place. Also, in Ski Super Streetstyle, Canadian rookie Edouard Therriault brought home the Papa John's "Flip It Award" for the night's best trick. In the competitive Men's Snowboard Superpipe final, 24-year-old Ayumu Hirano from Murakami, Japan , earned a dominant victory. He also received the U.S. Air Force Snowboard Highest Air award for a 22.8 feet aerial as well as the U.S. Air Force MVP Award.

From February 24-26, 2023 , the iconic Copper Mountain resort in the Rocky Mountains hosted a flurry of men's and women's ski and snowboard competitions. More than 60 of the world's top athletes competed in Superpipe, Super Streetstyle, and a new Superpipe High Air & Best Trick Jam presented by U.S. Air Force.

Here are the highlights for team Monster Energy at Dew Tour Copper Mountain 2023:

Women's Snowboard Superpipe: Monster Energy's Gaon Choi Soars into First Place

For Saturday's Women's Snowboard Superpipe final, the legendary Copper Mountain Superpipe with its 22-foot high walls was running smoothly under blue skies. The international roster of riders featured a brand-new podium threat: 14-year-old Gaon Choi from Seoul, South Korea , came to Copper Mountain after her surprise victory at X Games Aspen 2023. And she had no issues maintaining that winning trajectory.

Facing heat from 11-year-old snowboarding prodigy Patti Zhou from China , Choi displayed calm and strategy beyond her years by steadily raising the risk level in her runs. On Run 3, the teenage phenom secured the win by combining switch backside 900 mute, Cab 720 melon, huge frontside 1080 melon, and switch 900 melon on the last wall for 98.33 points and the Dew Tour Copper Women's Superpipe title.

"I'm so happy and proud of myself," said Choi, 14, upon winning Women's Snowboard Superpipe at Dew Tour Copper Mountain.

At X Games Aspen 2023 in January, Choi made history as the youngest competitor to take Snowboard SuperPipe gold at X Games and the first Winter X Games medalist for South Korea . She trains with Monster Energy team rider and snowboard phenom Chloe Kim .

Before stepping into the pro leagues, Choi won the 2022 World Junior Snowboarding Championships and was undefeated across four amateur-level halfpipe events on the 2022 FIS Revolution Tour.

Men's Freeski Superpipe: Monster Energy's Brendan Mackay Takes the Win, David Wise Earns Second Place

The wins kept coming in the Men's Freeski Superpipe final. In a heated session, 25-year-old Brendan Mackay from Calgary, Canada , proceeded to put down consistent runs with airs executed above 18-feet high while constantly increasing the difficulty level – all the way to claiming the victory!

"It means a lot. I've never won Dew Tour, and I'm very stoked to add it to my repertoire," said Mackay, 25, upon taking the win at Dew Tour Copper 2023. "It was great skiing today, and everyone was putting it down. Thanks for coming out everyone."

It's been a successful season for the Canadian: Before coming to Copper Mountain , Mackay claimed second place at the Mammoth Grand Prix event in California . Mackay finished the 2022/23 FIS World Cup season and Crystal Globe race in second place behind American Birk Irving in the top spot.

Also rising to the podium, 32-year-old David Wise from Reno, Nevada , came to Copper Mountain after earning his fifth X Games gold medal in Superpipe at X Games Aspen 2023. Starting his Dew Tour appearance with a perfect first run, the veteran and two-time Olympic gold medalist rose all the way to second place.

"I'm 32 years old now, and everyone keeps calling me the old guy. But the reality is I wouldn't be out here if I wasn't enjoying it," said Monster Energy's Wise.

Team USA's Wise is a two-time Olympic champion (2014, 2018) in Freeski Halfpipe and owns five X Games gold medals in the discipline.

Ski Super Streetstyle: Colby Stevenson Claims First Place, Alex Hall Finishes in Third Place

This year's Streetstyle event featured an upgraded course at double the previous size, spawning the new title Ski Super Streetstyle. When all was said and done, one rider had the perfect bag of tricks and creative combos for the course on Saturday night: 25-year-old Colby Stevenson from Park City, Utah .

Also rising to the podium, 24-year-old Alex Hall from Park City, Utah , earned third place by putting his unique technical riding skills on full display. In the first heat, the Olympic gold medalist in Ski Slopestyle landed Double transfer up in the first section, switch lip 270 Back 450 out for 81.33 points.

End of story? Not quite! The Streetstyle event also contested Papa John's "Flip It Award" for the night's best trick. Rising to the challenge, 20-year-old Edouard Therriault from Lorraine, Canada , stoked the crowd and judges with a unique move: A huge Rodeo 540 on the wallride at the bottom of the course netted the trophy for the Canadian.

Men's Freeski Superpipe: Monster Energy's Ayumu Hirano Earns Dominant Victory

The Men's Snowboard Superpipe final on Sunday turned into a nail-biting drama when Ayumu Hirano struggled to get a clean run on his first two attempts. But on the third run, the 24-year-old from Murakami, Japan , finally found his flow and secured the lead with 93.00 points. He even upped the ante on his fourth and final run for a dominant win.

Dew Tour 2023

Copper mountain.

THE MISSION

Our mission with this project was to capture as much as we could as spectators of the event. This project was really designed as a trial to see what was possible.

THE OUTCOME

We set out on the weekend with high hopes of what we could get shot. As we learned throughout the weekend, shooting from the perspective us a spectator played out to be harder than we had thought.

Media Coverage

In the creation of this project, the real impact came in the form of a chance to learn what worked and what didn't. From this, we are looking ahead to next year in hopes to become more involved in the event.

The Dew Tour has a rich history, dating back to 2005 when it was first launched as a new concept in action sports events. Since then, it has become one of the most prestigious competitions in the industry, attracting the best athletes from around the world. The Dew Tour at Copper Mountain is more than just a competition – it's an opportunity for athletes to showcase their skills and push the limits of what's possible in their respective sports. It's also a chance for fans to come together and celebrate their love of winter sports. Beyond the competitions, the Dew Tour at Copper Mountain also offered a range of other activities and entertainment for attendees. There were live music performances, sponsor booths, and athlete meet-and-greets, providing plenty of opportunities for fans to get up close and personal with their favorite athletes.

Reasons of the project

This event has been a staple in the community for some time now and is something we would go to growing up. The opportunity to improve our skills and to shoot a different sport is what intrigued us about this project.

Shooting Day

Full weekend packed with events.

Our time on the mountain shooting only consisted of one day. Our plan was to shoot the night events as well but with the chance of unfavorable weather, we decided to head over the pass early just putting us there to shoot for the day. There was plenty to do for all the fans there, from free mountain dew to all sorts of other activities and events to watch and partake in. Hand down to all the competing athletes, it is incredible to see the intensity of what they are doing in person.

Do you have a project in mind?

What to Follow on Day 1 of the Dushanbe Grand Slam 2024

-48kg: Stangar Aiming to Retain Dushanbe Crown Last year’s podium-topper at -48kg Marusa Stangar (SLO) returns to Dushanbe as the sixth seed, hoping to rediscover the form that won her back-to-back grand prix gold medals in May and June 2023. To reach the final again, she will have to get past the recent European Championship bronze medallist Catarina Costa (POR) and one of the dangerous Mongolian duo Baasankhuu Bavuudorj and Narantsetseg Ganbaatar, seeded third and sixth, respectively. If that wasn’t tricky enough, Stangar faces a potential final with her old nemesis and the top seed Milica Nikolic (SRB).

The seeded players won't have all the fun, however, as there are many potential challengers for the podium places. Arguably the most notable is the Swedish prodigy Tara Babulfath who, at just 18 years of age, is already a grand slam winner having struck gold in Baku earlier this year.

Double grand slam medallist Leyla Aliyeva (AZE) will be looking to go one better than her 5th place finish here last year, while Brazil and Türkiye each have two athletes present who are locked in tight battles for their respective Olympic places. Natasha Ferreira currently leads Amanda Lima in the rankings for Brazil, though neither are in a qualifying position. Meanwhile for Türkiye, Sila Ersin sits within the continental quota, with compatriot Tugde Beder only a few places behind. A good result for either of the trailing athletes could easily turn the tables.

-60kg: All Eyes on Kazakhstan The top two seeds at -60kg are the Kazakh pairing of Nurkanat Serikbayev and Magzhan Shamshadin. The country has a very difficult decision to make at the end of the qualification period with both judoka currently in direct qualification positions and two-time Olympic medallist Yeldos Smetov also in the running, lying just outside the qualifying spots.

Serikbayev currently leads the way but in Dushanbe he is likely to face a tough first contest against the double grand slam medallist Hayato Kondo (JPN) in round 2. Should he pass that test, a potential semi-final awaits with one of the surprise grand slam medallists of recent months Gamzat Zairbekov (AIN) or Matheus Takaki, or even the hosts' Muhammad Quvatov (TJK), who placed fifth here last year.

On the opposite side of the draw, Shamshadin may have to get past home favourite, sixth seed and bronze medallist from last year, Mehrzod Sufiev (TJK), or Portugal Grand Prix 2023 silver medallist Michel Augusto (BRA), who is seeded third. With Shamshadin and Smetov due to compete in their home grand slam in Astana next weekend, it will be vital for Serikbayev to earn a good result in Tajikistan to maintain his lead over both. Will he live up to his billing as the number one seed?

-52kg: Must-Win for Unseeded Kuznetsova The winner at -52kg in Dushanbe in 2023 was Alesia Kuznetsova (AIN), who took gold after an exhausting 29 minutes of contest time over 4 matches. En route, she defeated Sita Kadamboeva (UZB) in the semi-final and Gultaj Mammadaliyeva (AZE) in the final and both fighters join Kuznetsova in the draw once more, seeded third and second, respectively. With the Individual Neutral Athlete currently lagging in 45th place in the Olympic rankings, she will need to make it onto the podium here and in Astana next week to have any hope of qualifying for the Games.

Being unseeded this time, she may have to work even harder to do so. In round 1, she will face Ayumi Leiva Sanchez (ESP), who impressed by taking bronze in her first ever World Judo Tour event at the Antalya Grand Slam back in March. If she makes it to round 2, the number one seed and in-form Mascha Ballhaus (GER) awaits.

Mammadaliyeva and the other seeded athletes Angelica Delgado (USA) and Ana Viktoria Puljiz (CRO) currently occupy the final three direct Olympic qualification positions but there are several athletes in the draw who could overtake them with a favourable result here, including the Republic of Korea's Yerin Jung and Seyun Jang, fifth seed Aleksandra Kaleta (POL) and eighth seed Binta Ndiaye (SUI). With such talent everywhere to be found in the draw, there will be no easy route to a medal. Who will come out on top?

-66kg: Will Dzhebov Do the Double for the Hosts? Obid Dzhebov (TJK) sent the home crowd into a frenzy when he earned himself a gold medal in last year's event at -66kg, one which helped his country ascend to the top of the medal table. He returns to the fold as the fourth seed, aiming for further glory. To make it to the final, he will need to defeat the number one seed and France's selection for the Olympic Games, Walide Khyar (FRA), at the semi-final stage.

The other side of the draw is headed by the second and third seeds, Rio Olympic silver medallist Baul An (KOR) and Elios Manzi (ITA) who took a brilliant bronze medal in an all-Italian affair at the Zagreb European Championships last week. Manzi and compatriot Matteo Piras are neck-and-neck in the race for qualification, so with Piras absent from Dushanbe, and both players registered to compete in Astana next weekend, Manzi will be looking to create a gap between the two with a good result here.

Seeded players aside, the two Individual Neutral athletes Ivan Chernykh and Abrek Naguchev are both capable of causing an upset. Chernykh stunned his opponents at the Tbilisi Grand Slam in March, where he took gold in his first ever WJT event, defeating Tokyo Olympic silver medallist Margvelashvili (GEO) on the way, while Naguchev is already a double world champion, albeit at the cadet and junior levels. One thing's for sure, the -66kg category will be as open as ever.

-57kg: A Tenth Showdown for Klimkait and Cysique? No fewer than six of last year's top eight finishers at the Dushanbe Grand Prix 2023 are back again in 2024 hoping for further success. The gold medallist from last year, Shukurjon Aminova (UZB), is unseeded and faces an uphill battle, taking on fifth seed Enkhrillen Lkhagvatogoo (MGL) in round 1. The two bronze medallists, Veronica Toniolo (ITA) and Qi Cai (CHN) are seeded third and sixth, respectively, so could meet at the quarter-final stage.

The favourites though are unquestionably the top two seeds, Jessica Klimkait (CAN) and Sarah Leonie Cysique (FRA). The battle between Klimkait and her teammate Christa Deguchi (CAN) for Olympic qualification is going down to the wire once more, with Deguchi due to compete at the Qaqaqstan Barysy Grand Slam next week and both scheduled to compete at the Abu Dhabi World Championships a fortnight later.

Cysique has already been selected for the Games, so arrives in Dushanbe looking to improve her ranking and move into a seeded position. Since Cysique defeated Klimkait in the semi-final of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, Klimkait has won all three of their encounters. Can both make it to the final this time? And can Cysique reverse her recent fortunes against the Canadian?

In just 100 days, the Olympic flame will ignite once again as the world's greatest athletes descend upon Paris for the 2024 Olympic Games. To commemorate the moment, and also to shine a spotlight on some of the brightest sports stars on Earth, NBC Olympics has assembled a comprehensive list of the top 100 athletes to watch ahead of this summer's spectacle in Paris.

The roster is a who's who of household names, rising stars and all-time greats that will chase gold in France and will likely give us many of the most memorable moments of the Games. It includes athletes who've already secured their places in Paris, as well as ones still with work to do or decisions to make to get there. Some names you'll already know. For others, you'll be glad you heard them here first, before they become the talk of the world during the Paris Olympics.

Mete Gazoz Nationality: Turkey | Age: 24 | Event: Men’s individual | Olympic experience: 2016, 2020 (1g) At the Tokyo Olympics, then-21-year-old Mete Gazoz became the first Turkish archer to win individual gold in Olympic history. Now 24, he heads to Paris as the favorite to reclaim his title. Gazoz is fresh off a strong 2023 in which he took home individual gold at the World Archery Championships and earned his third career title of Best Men's Recurve Archer of the Year from the World Archery Federation. — Leo Santos

Casey Kaufhold Nationality: U.S. | Age: 20 | Event: Women’s individual | Olympic experience: 2020 Lancaster, Pennsylvania native Casey Kaufhold is poised to give the U.S. its best chance of winning a medal in Olympic archery, and could be the first American woman to do so since the 1976 Montreal Games . She made her Olympic debut at just 17 during the 2020 Tokyo Games. Kaufhold also finished second at the 2021 World Championships and fourth at the 2023 Worlds in the women’s individual event, beating Tokyo gold medalist An San of South Korea at both competitions. — Santos

ARTISTIC SWIMMING

Bill May Nationality: United States | Age: 45 | Event: Team competition | Olympic experience: None For the first time ever at the Olympics, men will be allowed to compete in artistic swimming at the Paris Games. That’s opened the door for 45-year-old Bill May, the greatest male artistic swimmer ever, to finally fulfill a lifelong dream of competing on the Olympic stage. May, a six-time world medalist, will compete as part of the eight-person U.S. team which qualified for an Olympics for the first time since 2008. — Eric Goodman

Viktor Axelsen Nationality: Denmark | Age: 30 | Event: Men’s singles | Olympic experience: 2016 (1b), 2020 (1g) Danish badminton disruptor and current world No. 1 Viktor Axelsen is looking to defend his title in Paris this summer. After defeating China's Chen Long in Rio in 2016 and taking home bronze, Axelsen returned to the Games in Tokyo and topped the defending champion. The 6-foot-4 30-year-old also holds two world championship titles. — Erin Maher

Stephen Curry Nationality: United States | Age: 36 | Event: Men's basketball | Olympic experience: None USA Basketball will field a star-studded men's roster for the Paris Olympics, and one of the most exciting names on the list is Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry. At age 36, Curry is already a four-time NBA champion, two-time NBA MVP, and the NBA's all-time three-point leader by a significant margin. But one thing he hasn't done yet is play at the Olympics. With Warriors head coach Steve Kerr taking charge of the U.S. men's team for Paris, Curry could finally add an Olympic gold medal to his legacy. — Shawn Smith

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Nationality: Canada | Age: 25 | Event: Men's basketball | Olympic experience: None One of the NBA's most improved players in recent years, Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is also the face of a Canadian team that's stronger than ever before. Gilgeous-Alexander led Canada to a win over the United States and a bronze medal at last year's World Cup, and with a roster that's expected to contain several NBA players, Canada could very well contend for an Olympic medal this summer. Gilgeous-Alexander is one of just three players averaging more than 30 points per game this season in the NBA, and he's also second in the league in steals (2.0 per game). Were it not for the season Jokic is having, the man known as "SGA" would be considered a serious MVP candidate right now. — Smith

LeBron James Nationality: United States | Age: 39 | Event: Men's basketball | Olympic experience: 2004 (1b), 2008 (1g), 2012 (1g) Lebron James hasn't played for the U.S. Olympic team since 2012, but he's been very vocal about his desire to play at the Paris Games. He's also reportedly been working behind the scenes to get other top American stars to commit to the Olympics. James already has two Olympic gold medals (and a 2004 bronze) to go with his four NBA titles and four NBA MVP awards. Playing in his 21st NBA season, the Los Angeles Lakers forward continues to produce at an elite level (25.7 points, 8.3 assists, 7.3 rebounds per game) on the court. — Smith

Nikola Jokic Nationality: Serbia | Age: 29 | Event: Men's basketball | Olympic experience: 2016 (1s) Nikola Jokic is having another incredible NBA season. He's averaging nearly a triple-double (26.4 points, 12.4 rebounds, 9.0 assists) per game, is favored to win his third MVP award, and has the Denver Nuggets in the mix for a second consecutive NBA title. Although his participation has not been confirmed yet, Jokic is expected to suit up for Serbia's Olympic team this summer. Jokic previously won a silver medal in 2016, the only other time that Serbia qualified for the men's Olympic tournament. For the Paris Games, Serbia was drawn into the same group as the United States, and the two teams will play each other to begin the group stage. — Smith

Breanna Stewart Nationality: United States | Age: 29 | Event: Women's basketball | Olympic experience: 2016 (1g), 2020 (1g) Entering her third Olympic Games, Breanna Stewart — the tournament MVP at the Tokyo Olympics — has become one of the most important players for the U.S. women's basketball team. She joined the WNBA's New York Liberty in 2023 and had her best statistical season yet (23.0 points, 9.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.6 blocks, 1.5 steals per game) and set the league's single-season scoring record, resulting in her second league MVP award. — Smith

Diana Taurasi Nationality: United States | Age: 41 | Event: Women's basketball | Olympic experience: 2004 (1g), 2008 (1g), 2012 (1g), 2016 (1g), 2020 (1g) Already a USA Basketball legend , Diana Taurasi has a chance to make history in Paris. The Phoenix Mercury guard has been to five Olympics and won gold at every single one. If she qualifies for the Olympic team again this summer, Taurasi could win her sixth gold medal, which would break a tie with Sue Bird and give her sole possession of most Olympic basketball golds ever. It would also make her the most decorated team sport athlete in Olympic history. — Smith

Victor Wembanyama Nationality: France | Age: 20 | Event: Men's basketball | Olympic experience: None After being drafted No. 1 overall by the San Antonio Spurs last summer, Victor Wembanyama has made an immediate impact in the NBA. The 7-foot-4 center is averaging a double-double (21.4 points, 10.6 rebounds per game) while leading the NBA in blocked shots (3.6 per game) by a wide margin. Now he has the opportunity to be one of the faces of the Olympics for the host nation, as he's expected to join Rudy Gobert on France's Olympic team in what would be an elite defensive frontcourt pairing. France upset the United States in group play and finished with silver at the last Olympics, so with Wembanyama now onboard, this team is a potential spoiler to watch out for. — Smith

3X3 BASKETBALL

Jimmer Fredette Nationality: United States | Age: 35 | Event: Men's 3x3 Basketball | Olympic experience: None "JimmerMania" is making its way to the Olympics. Back in 2011, BYU star Jimmer Fredette — a guard seemingly capable of hitting threes from anywhere on the court — captured the sports world's attention with one of the most memorable college basketball seasons ever. Although he was drafted as a lottery pick, his NBA career never really panned out, and Fredette spent several seasons playing overseas in China and Greece instead. But USA Basketball reached out to him a few years ago with a new opportunity: to join the 3x3 national team. With Fredette onboard, the U.S. finished as the runner-up at last year's World Cup. Now the U.S. men's team, which missed out on qualifying for the Tokyo Olympics altogether, suddenly has the look of a legitimate gold medal contender for Paris thanks in part to Fredette. — Smith

BEACH VOLLEYBALL

Kelly Cheng Nationality: United States | Age: 28 | Event: Women’s | Olympic experience: 2020

Sara Hughes Nationality: United States | Age: 29 | Event: Women’s | Olympic experience: None Kelly Cheng and Sara Hughes dominated collegiate beach volleyball as teammates at the University of Southern California, winning back-to-back NCAA titles. In 2017, the California natives started pro careers together, but by 2018, they had split to pursue the Tokyo Olympics with different partners. Hughes failed to qualify for Tokyo, and Cheng failed to medal at the 2020 Games. In late 2022, the two reunited and only a year later became world champions . The former teammates will now pursue their first Olympic medal together in Paris. — Maher

Taryn Kloth Nationality: United States | Age: 26 | Event: Women’s | Olympic experience: None

Kristen Nuss Nationality: United States | Age: 26 | Event: Women’s | Olympic experience: None

Taryn Kloth and Kristen Nuss have already made U.S. Olympic beach volleyball history twice. They are the country's first volleyball team that doesn’t primarily train in California. At 5-foot-6, New Orleans native Nuss is almost a foot shorter than Kloth, her 6-4 teammate from South Dakota. They have the greatest height difference for a U.S. Olympic beach volleyball team. However, their differences don't seem to matter on the beach volleyball court, where the two took bronze home after a tough semifinal against countrywomen Kelly Cheng and Sara Hughes at the 2023 World Championships. — Maher

Jahmal Harvey Nationality: United States | Age: 21 | Event: Men's Featherweight | Olympic experience: None After a strong showing from the U.S. men in Tokyo (three boxing silver medals), USA Boxing will try to keep the momentum rolling into the Paris Games. One man to watch out for is Jahmal Harvey. The 21-year-old from Oxon Hill, Maryland, won a world title in 2021 and a Pan American Games gold medal in 2023. — Smith

Victor Montalvo Nationality: United States | Age: 29 | Events: Breaking | Olympic experience: None Victor Montalvo enters the Paris Games as the men’s gold medal favorite in the Olympics’ newest sport of breaking. Montalvo, whose father was a successful b-boy in Mexico , won gold at the 2023 World Championships to clinch his spot in Paris. He’s also the two-time Red Bull BC One champion. — Sam Brief

Dominika Banevic Nationality: Lithuania | Age: 16 | Events: Breaking | Olympic experience: None Dominika Banevic will be just 17 in Paris, but shocked the field to win the 2023 world title, becoming the the youngest b-girl ever to win a world championship. The Lithuanian may just steal the show at the inaugural breaking event at the Olympic Games. — Brief

Nevin Harrison Nationality: United States | Age: 21 | Events: C-1 200m | Olympic experience: 2020 (1g) Nevin Harrison became the first U.S. woman to win an Olympic canoeing gold in Tokyo, and she’ll defend that title in Paris. At just 21, she’s emerged as an international star, picking up two world titles and the Olympic gold. Harrison maintains she’s keeping an underdog mentality entering the Paris Games. — Brief

Joe Clarke Nationality: Great Britain | Age: 31 | Events: K-1 Kayak Cross | Olympic experience: 2016 (1g) After winning gold in the men’s K-1 at the Rio Olympics, Joe Clarke just missed out on the Tokyo Games. At his first Olympics in eight years, the 31-year-old will vie for gold not just in the K-1 but in the new kayak cross event, in which Clarke has won three consecutive world titles. — Brief

Hannah Roberts Nationality: United States | Age: 22 | Event: BMX Freestyle | Olympic experience: 2020 (1s) With five world titles already under her belt, one of the only things missing from Hannah Roberts' resume is an Olympic gold medal. After finishing second at the Tokyo Games, she once again enters the Olympics as the favorite in women's BMX freestyle. Roberts has been pushing the boundaries of her sport for years, such as in 2019 when she became the first woman to land a 360 tailwhip in competition. — Smith

Jennifer Valente Nationality: United States | Age: 29 | Event: Track Cycling | Olympic experience: 2016 (1s), 2020 (1g, 1b) The lone member of the U.S. cycling team to win a gold medal in Tokyo, Jennifer Valente could very well repeat her success in Paris. The San Diego native won gold in women's omnium at the last Olympics and was dominant in that same event at the 2023 World Championships. It remains to be seen what other events she might compete in at the Paris Games, but she also helped the U.S. win medals in women's team pursuit at each of the last two Olympics. — Smith

Tom Daley Nationality: Great Britain | Age: 29 | Events: Platform (individual/synchro) | Olympic experience: 2008, 2012 (1b), 2016 (1b), 2020 (1g, 1b) Remarkably, at just 29 years old, Paris will represent a fifth Olympics for British diver Tom Daley. In Tokyo, Daley finally captured his first Olympic gold medal alongside partner Matty Lee in the men’s synchronized 10m platform event, becoming the first British diver to win four Olympic medals. Daley, known to pass the time between dives by knitting, remains a podium threat in Paris. — Goodman

Quan Hongchan Nationality: China | Age: 17 | Events: Platform (individual/synchro) | Olympic experience: 2020 (1g) The latest phenom in the renowned tradition of Chinese diving, Quan Hongchan electrified the diving well in Tokyo, winning individual 10m platform gold and doing it in style. Of her five final-round dives, three earned perfect scores. Not to mention, she was just 14 years old at the time. Now, with world championship experience (and five world titles) under her belt, Quan is on track to add to her growing teenage legacy in Paris. — Goodman

Ben Maher Nationality: Great Britain | Age: 41 | Events: Team/Individual Jumping | Olympic experience: 2008, 2012 (1g), 2016, 2020 (1g) Maher, a two-time Olympic gold medalist, hopes to make his fifth Olympic appearance in Paris. Maher won the team jumping gold at the London Olympics, helping Great Britain win its first gold medal in the event in 60 years, and grabbed the individual jumping gold in Tokyo. Maher suffered a serious shoulder injury in 2023 but has since rebounded to win the first Grand Prix of the year at the Winter Equestrian Festival and currently ranks second in the Longines Rankings. — Ashlee Buhler

Lee Kiefer Nationality: United States | Age: 29 | Events: Foil (individual/team) | Olympic experience: 2012, 2016, 2020 (1g) In one of the highlight moments of the Tokyo Games for the United States, Kentucky-native Lee Kiefer became the first American to win individual foil gold when she defeated defending Olympic champion Inna Deriglazova, 15-13, in the gold medal bout. Now, as the FIE’s No. 1-ranked women’s foil fencer, she heads to Paris arguably in the strongest position of her career. In what is likely to be a final Olympic run for both, Kiefer will once again compete alongside husband and fellow U.S. foil star Gerek Meinhardt in Paris as both look to add more hardware to the family trophy case. — Goodman

Nick Itkin Nationality: United States | Age: 24 | Events: Foil (individual/team) | Olympic experience: 2020 (1b) Three years ago, Nick Itkin was the youngest American fencer in Tokyo when he helped the U.S. men’s foil team secure a bronze medal finish. In the time since, though, Itkin not only leapfrogged his American teammates in the FIE’s world foil ranking, he leapfrogged everyone . The world No. 1 is now the favorite to win individual men’s foil gold in France, the spiritual home of fencing. The Notre Dame grad could also be the X-factor in the United States’ continued quest for an elusive foil team gold medal. — Goodman

FIELD HOCKEY

Harmanpreet Singh Nationality: India | Age: 28 | Events: Field Hockey | Olympic experience: 2016, 2020 (1b) Often regarded as one of the best drag flickers in the world, Harmanpreet Singh helped lead India to its first Olympic field hockey medal since 1980 at the Tokyo Olympics. Singh was named the FIH Player of the Year for 2020-2021 and was instrumental to India’s third place finish in the 2021-22 FIH Pro League, where he was the top-scorer with 18 goals. Singh could be key to India’s chances of leaving Paris with another Olympic medal. — Buhler

Nelly Korda Nationality: United States | Age: 25 | Event: Women’s golf | Olympic experience: 2020 (1g) Nelly, the middle child of the uber-athletic Korda family, heads to Paris looking to defend the gold medal that she won by a single stroke in Tokyo. Though the 2022 and 2023 seasons were a struggle by Korda’s lofty standards, she’s been on an absolute tear so far in 2024, winning four of her first five tournaments of the season on the LPGA Tour. She’s once again the No. 1-ranked women’s golfer in the world and the favorite to repeat as Olympic champion in Paris. — Goodman

Rory McIlroy Nationality: Ireland | Age: 34 | Event: Men’s golf | Olympic experience: 2020 Though he hails from the U.K. region of Northern Ireland, Rory McIlroy proudly represents the Emerald Isle when it comes to Olympic competition. The four-time major champion skipped golf’s Olympic re-debut (after a 94-year absence) at Rio 2016, and narrowly missed out on the podium in Tokyo as part of a wild seven-man playoff for the bronze medal, won by C. T. Pan . Much has been made about McIlroy’s near-decade-long drought in major championships, though the 34-year-old remains among the very best golfers in the world, and is a threat to win any time he tees it up. — Goodman

Xander Schauffele Nationality: United States | Age: 30 | Event: Men’s golf | Olympic experience: 2020 (1g) Though Xander Schauffele is widely considered the best active men’s golfer without a major championship victory, he does hold something arguably just as significant: an Olympic gold medal from the Tokyo Games. The “X-Man” is currently up to No. 3 in the Official World Golf Ranking after a top-10 finish in April’s Masters Tournament and appears to be a lock to once again earn one of just four coveted spots on the U.S. Olympic men’s golf roster. A successful defense of his Olympic title is certainly within reach. — Goodman

Scottie Scheffler Nationality: United States | Age: 27 | Event: Men’s golf | Olympic experience: None Not since Tiger Woods’ prime has men’s golf seen a more dominant stretch than the roll Scottie Scheffler has been on in recent months. The current world No. 1 recently won his second career Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club, where his victory seemed almost inevitable from the opening tee shot. Scheffler has already guaranteed himself a spot on the U.S. Olympic team and will likely make his Olympic Games debut at Le Golf National’s Albatros Course in France. — Goodman

Lilia Vu Nationality: United States | Age: 26 | Event: Women’s golf | Olympic experience: None No women’s golfer enjoyed a better 2023 season than Orange County, California native Lilia Vu. Vu won four times on the LPGA Tour last season, including two major championships, and ended the year with the No. 1 world ranking. Vu has yet to top the leaderboard in 2024 but will be one of the medal favorites when she tees off in France. — Goodman

Rebeca Andrade Nationality: Brazil | Age: 24 | Events: Women's all-around | Olympic experience: 2016, 2020 (1g, 1s) Expect to hear Rebeca Andrade’s name a lot in Paris. The Brazilian star made her Olympic debut in front of a home crowd in Rio, but really rose to stardom in Tokyo when she won two historic medals for her country with a silver in the all-around and a gold on vault. At the 2023 World Gymnastics Championships, Andrade proved to be Simone Biles closest rival, standing next to the American on four individual medal podiums – including vault, where Andrade edged out Biles for the gold medal. — Buhler

Simone Biles Nationality: United States | Age: 27 | Events: Women's all-around | Olympic experience: 2016 (4g, 1b), 2020 (1s, 1 b) She is often referred to as the ‘GOAT,’ but believe it or not, there is still room for Simone Biles to make history in her sport. With just one more medal, Biles will become the most decorated American gymnast in Olympic history, surpassing Shannon Miller who won seven medals between Barcelona 1992 and Atlanta 1996. Biles also has an opportunity to climb as high as second on the list of Olympic medal leaders in women’s gymnastics. Mathematically, she cannot catch the Soviet great Larisa Latynina, who won 18 medals across three Games (1956, 1960, 1964), but with five medals in Paris – which she is certainly capable of – Biles can bring her Olympic medal haul to 12. — Buhler

Hashimoto Daiki Nationality: Japan | Age: 22 | Events: All-Around | Olympic experience: 2020 (2g, 1s) Time and time again, Hashimoto Daiki proves he is the best of the best. He not only enters Paris as the defending Olympic all-around and high bar champion, but as a four-time world champion – three of those titles coming from 2023. Hashimoto will be the one everyone is chasing in Paris. — Buhler

Shilese Jones Nationality: United States | Age: 21 | Events: Women's all-around | Olympic experience: None Shilese Jones has been on an upward trajectory since being left off the United States’ team for Tokyo, winning six world medals between the last two world championships – including all-around bronze behind Simone Biles and Rebeca Andrade in 2023. Jones is a two-time national champion on the uneven bars, in addition to winning the all-around silver in back-to-back years and has tremendous potential to bring home some hardware in Paris. — Buhler

Kaylia Nemour Nationality: Algeria | Age: 17 | Events: Women's all-around | Olympic experience: None Keep your eyes on Kaylia Nemour. The 17-year-old started her career representing her home country of France, but after a national team doctor refused to clear her to compete, she began representing Algeria (where she has dual citizenship through her father). Heading into Paris, Nemour has solidified herself as one to watch on the uneven bars, where she won a silver medal at last year's Worlds. At the 2024 Cottbus World Cup, Nemour won gold with a massive 7.0 difficulty score – one of the most difficult routines being done in the world on any event – positioning her as the front-runner on the event for Paris. — Buhler

Fred Richard Nationality: United States | Age: 19 | Events: Men's all-around | Olympic experience: None The United States didn’t win any Olympic medals in men’s gymnastics in Tokyo, but Fred Richard just may be its best shot at getting back on the podium in Paris. At the 2023 World Gymnastics Championships, Richard posted the highest score of the day to clinch the team bronze – the first team world medal for the U.S. men in nine years. Richard also won a bronze medal in the all-around, making him just the fourth all-around world medalist for the American men in history. — Buhler

Nikola Karabatic Nationality: France | Age: 40 | Events: Handball | Olympic experience: 2004, 2008 (1g), 2012 (1g), 2016 (1s), 2020 (1g) Widely regarded as one of the best players in handball, three-time Olympic champion Nikola Karabatic is seeking a record-breaking fourth gold medal. This summer will be his last chance to make history as Karabatic has already announced he will retire after his home Olympics. The 40-year-old center back currently plays at the club level for Paris Saint-Germain's handball team. — Santos

Teddy Riner Nationality: France | Age: 35 | Event: Men's 100+kg | Olympic experience: 2008 (1b), 2012 (1g), 2016 (1g), 2020 (1g, 1b) With Paris hosting the Olympic Games, no judoka will have a bigger spotlight on them than France's own Teddy Riner. The judo legend, who recently won his record-extending 11th world title, is tied for the all-time lead with five Olympic judo medals (three gold, two bronze). Between the men's heavyweight tournament and the mixed team event, Riner should have two opportunities to add to his total and break the record. — Smith

MODERN PENTATHLON

Joe Choong Nationality: Great Britain | Age: 28 | Events: Modern Pentathlon | Olympic experience: 2016, 2020 (1g) Englishman Joe Choong won Olympic gold in Tokyo and will defend that title in Paris. He’s riding a hot streak, having won back-to-back world titles in 2022 and 2023, and will look to become just the third athlete ever to win two individual Olympic modern pentathlon gold medals. — Brief

RHYTHMIC GYMNASTICS

Darja Varfolomeev Nationality: Germany | Age: 17 | Events: All-around | Olympic experience: None Daria Varfolomeev was unstoppable last summer in Spain, winning five individual gold medals at the 2023 World Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships – a complete sweep of the event. Varfolomeev is the first German rhythmic gymnast to win a world gold medal since 1975 and only the second in history to sweep all of the individual medals, serving as a reminder to the rest of the field that she’s poised to be a real threat in Paris. — Buhler

Oliver Zeidler Nationality: Germany | Age: 27 | Events: Single sculls | Olympic experience: None The grandson and nephew of Olympic rowing medalist Hans-Johann Farber and Judith Zeidler, the 27-year-old Oliver Zeidler is carving his own path. He has never competed in an Olympic Games but has won three consecutive world titles and won all three World Cups in 2023 in the single sculls. Zeidler enters Paris primed for domination on the water. — Brief

Kara Kohler Nationality: U.S. | Age: 33 | Events: Single sculls | Olympic experience: 2012 (1b), 2020 Kara Kohler has long been a force in U.S. rowing. She won bronze at the London Olympics in the quadruple sculls event but has since shifted to single sculls. In 2023, she took third place at World Cup II and placed fourth at 2023 Worlds. She’ll aim to help lift the U.S. rowing team after a disappointing Tokyo Games without a single medal. — Brief

Ilona Maher Nationality: United States | Age: 27 | Events: Men's rugby | Olympic experience: 2020 Social media sensation Ilona Maher is a key factor for the U.S. being medal favorites at the Paris Games. The team is filled with veteran players but is highlighted by the TikTok star – who has 1.1 million followers on the platform. After winning the 2023 Pan American Games title, Maher and the U.S. are heading into the games with some much-needed momentum. — Santos

Perry Baker Nationality: U.S. | Age: 37 | Events: Men's rugby | Olympic experience: 2016, 2020 Nicknamed “Speedstick,” Perry Baker will be playing his last Olympic Games after announcing that he’s set to retire . The former Philadelphia Eagle leads a younger U.S. rugby team compared to previous Olympic tournaments, and although the Americans are not medal favorites, Baker believes the team is capable of surprises. He’s the all-time leading try scorer for the U.S. and was the first player to earn consecutive World Rugby Sevens Player of the Year awards – leading to him being widely regarded as one of the best rugby sevens players of all time. — Santos

Eleanor Aldridge Nationality: Great Britain | Age: 27 | Event: Kite | Olympic experience: None With many British sailing greats retiring after Tokyo, the door is open for a new star to emerge. Ellie Aldridge fits the bill as one of the world's leading formula kite athletes. Aldridge won silver medals in the formula kite – an event that will make its Olympic debut in Paris – at the Olympic test event in July and again at the world championships a month later. She capped off her year with a gold at the 2023 Formula Kite European Championships, cementing herself as one to watch heading into Paris. — Buhler

Vincent Hancock Nationality: United States | Age: 35 | Events: Men’s skeet, mixed team skeet | Olympic experience: 2008 (1g), 2012 (1g), 2016, 2020 (1g) Vincent Hancock will look to make Olympic history for the U.S. in Paris, where he could become one of six American shooters with at least four gold medals in the sport. Hancock has already won gold in men’s skeet at the Beijing, London and Tokyo Games. With mixed team skeet making its debut in Paris, he could have two more chances to add to his collection. — Santos

SKATEBOARDING

Gavin Bottger Nationality: United States | Age: 17 | Event: Park | Olympic experience: None At just 17 years old, Gavin Bottger is a rising star in men's park. In the past few years, he's announced his arrival on the contest scene by winning Dew Tour and collecting several X Games medals. He's also the reigning world champion in men's park and currently ranked No. 1 in the discipline. — Smith

Sky Brown Nationality: Great Britain | Age: 15 | Event: Park | Olympic experience: 2020 (1b) Women's skateboarding has seen a massive influx of teenage talent in recent years, and Sky Brown — who earned a bronze medal at the Tokyo Games when she was 13 — has been one of the young shredders at the forefront of it all. The two-time X Games champion won her first world title in February 2023 and remains a gold medal threat in women's park, as well as one of the most popular skateboarders in the world. — Smith

Jagger Eaton Nationality: United States | Age: 23 | Event: Street, park | Olympic experience: 2020 (1b) Currently in position to qualify for the Paris Games in both street and park, Jagger Eaton has become skateboarding's premier dual threat. He earned a bronze medal in men's street at the Tokyo Olympics (despite a broken ankle) but has been more successful in park competitions since then. Over the past 18 months, Eaton has won X Games and world titles in men's park and currently sits No. 2 in the world rankings behind teammate Bottger. — Smith

Nyjah Huston Nationality: United States | Age: 29 | Event: Street | Olympic experience: 2020 One of the most popular and most successful skateboarders of all-time, Nyjah Huston is set to return to the Olympic Games with hopes of improving on his seventh-place finish from Tokyo. After tearing his ACL while filming a video part in 2022, Huston has returned to peak form and cemented himself as one of the favorites for Olympic gold in men's street for the Paris Games. — Smith

Paxten Aaronson Nationality: United States | Age: 20 | Event: Men's soccer | Olympic experience: None Paxton Aaronson, younger brother of USMNT star Brendan, helped the U.S. secure qualification to the Games by scoring seven goals in seven games at the 2022 Concacaf U-20 Championship, in which he was also given the Golden Ball award for being the best player at the tournament. He is a regular starter for the Dutch club Vitesse and could be one of the most impactful players on the U.S. team, potentially helping them make it out of a tough group that includes hosts France. — Santos

Thiago Almada Nationality: Argentina | Age: 22 | Event: Men's soccer | Olympic experience: None Thiago Almada was instrumental in Argentina’s run to qualify for the Olympics, including in the team’s 1-0 win over Brazil to eliminate their rivals’ hopes of qualifying for the Paris Games. Almada is a World Cup winner and the star player for MLS club Atlanta United. Argentina is one of the favorites to win gold, and Almada will likely be a key factor if the team goes all the way, considering the team’s attack is mainly built around him. — Santos

Aitana Bonmati Nationality: Spain | Age: 26 | Event: Women's soccer | Olympic experience: None Aitana Bonmati was part of the Spanish team that won the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup. She was also awarded the Ballon d’Or that year, which is given to the best soccer player annually in each gender. Spain is ranked No. 1 in the world according to the latest FIFA rankings, and should they go on to win gold, Bonmati would almost certainly play a huge factor in that run. — Santos

Kylian Mbappe Nationality: France | Age: 25 | Event: Men's soccer | Olympic experience: None Kylian Mbappe is widely regarded as the best player in the new generation of men’s soccer. He has been to two World Cup finals, winning one of them in 2018 and scoring a hat trick in a loss against Lionel Messi’s Argentina in 2022. Mbappe is set to be a free agent after the 2023-24 season with reports linking him to Real Madrid, but he has consistently expressed his desire to play in the Olympics. — Santos

Alex Morgan Nationality: United States | Age: 34 | Event: Women's soccer | Olympic experience: 2012, 2016, 2020 Alex Morgan made her Olympic debut in the 2012 Games as one of the youngest stars on the team. Fast forward 12 years later, she is now one of the leaders of the U.S. The team is undergoing a generational shift. But with the inclusion of Morgan, she will be looking to use her experience of being one of the best strikers in the women’s game for the past decade to help her team win gold. — Santos

Trinity Rodman Nationality: United States | Age: 21 | Event: Women's soccer | Olympic experience: None Trinity Rodman, daughter of NBA Hall of Famer Dennis Rodman, was part of the starting three forwards the U.S. used at the 2023 Women’s World Cup alongside Alex Morgan and Sophia Smith. She made her debut in 2022 at 19 years old. Although she’s been with national team for only two years, Rodman will be key to helping the U.S. get points on the board as a winger via goals or assists. — Santos

Sophia Smith Nationality: United States | Age: 23 | Event: Women's soccer | Olympic experience: None Since making her debut with the U.S. in November 2020 at only 20 years old, Sophia Smith has logged 16 goals and seven assists in 44 appearances. She is part of the new generation of younger players leading the team into the Paris Games. Smith has World Cup experience under her belt and became the highest-paid player ever in the NWSL in March 2024 when signing a new contract with the Portland Thorns. — Santos

Lamine Yamal Nationality: Spain | Age: 16 | Event: Men's soccer | Olympic experience: None The breakout star for FC Barcelona has his eyes set on two possible tournaments this summer with Spain. The 2007-born forward – yes, he was born in 2007 – has previously said depending on his playing time at the 2024 European Championships, which takes place before the start of the Paris Games, he would like to play at his first Olympic competition. Lamine Yamal scored his first goal for Spain on his debut in September 2023, becoming the youngest player and goalscorer in the national team’s history. — Santos

SPORT CLIMBING

Natalia Grossman Nationality: United States | Age: 22 | Event: Bouldering and lead combined | Olympic experience: None Natalia Grossman, the 2021 world champion in bouldering, won gold at last year's Pan American Games in the combined event that features both bouldering and lead climbing. Potentially alongside Brooke Raboutou , who can qualify for the Olympics later this spring, the U.S. will have strong medal hopes in the combined event at Paris 2024 — even though the entire field is ultimately chasing Janja Garnbret , the reigning Olympic champion from Slovenia. — Smith

Sam Watson Nationality: United States | Age: 18 | Event: Speed climbing | Olympic experience: None At a World Cup event in April, Sam Watson broke the speed climbing world record twice, lowering the mark to 4.79 seconds. His time overtook Indonesia’s Veddriq Leonardo (4.90), who last year became the first person to go under five seconds. Just like that, Watson is now a legitimate gold medal contender, and a head-to-head final against Leonardo would make for an exciting showdown in Paris. — Smith

Carissa Moore Nationality: United States | Age: 31 | Event: Women's surfing | Olympic experience: 2020 (1g) Reigning Olympic gold medalist and five-time world champion Carissa Moore is part of a strong U.S. contingent for the women's surfing event that will take place in Tahiti. (Her teammates Caroline Marks and Caity Simmers are also medal contenders.) Moore will be stepping away from competition after the Olympics, so this could end up being the last chance to catch one of the greats in action. — Smith

Gabriel Medina Nationality: Brazil | Age: 30 | Event: Men's surfing | Olympic experience: 2020 After a fourth-place finish at the Tokyo Olympics, three-time world champion Gabriel Medina is expected to be part of Brazil's stacked three-man team at this summer's Olympic Games. The competition will take place in Tahiti, and Medina has historically performed well there. Since 2014, he has never finished worse than third when competing in Tahiti on the WSL Championship Tour. — Smith

Jack Alexy Nationality: United States | Age: 21 | Events: freestyle | Olympic experience: N/A Exploding onto the scene within the last 12 months, Alexy has established himself as Team USA’s top male sprint swimmer. The New Jersey native, who still maintains a close relationship with his first-ever swim coach at the Greater Somerset County YMCA, announced his arrival on the world stage at the 2023 World Swimming Championships, in which he collected silver medals in both the 50m and 100m freestyle events, and also featured on three medal-winning U.S. relay teams. If his upward trajectory continues, the Cal Golden Bear could be a gold medal contender in multiple events in Paris. — Goodman

Kate Douglass Nationality: United States | Age: 22 | Events: freestyle, breaststroke, individual medley | Olympic experience: 2020 (1b) Douglass is entering her prime just in time for the Paris Olympics and has a chance to be one of the breakout stars of the Games. The versatile New Yorker has racked up a staggering 14 world championship medals since her Olympic debut at the Tokyo Games, including four titles. She’s typically at her best in the 200m IM and the 200m breaststroke, and will likely also feature on U.S. relay teams as a freestyle swimmer as well. — Goodman

Caeleb Dressel Nationality: United States | Age: 27 | Events: freestyle, butterfly | Olympic experience: 2016 (2g), 2020 (5g) The undisputed king of the pool in Tokyo, Dressel is something of a wildcard heading into his third Olympics in Paris. The self-proclaimed “Florida man” stepped away from the sport unexpectedly in 2022, and did not return to competition until early 2024 following the birth of his first child, a son named August. It remains unclear how many events Dressel will attempt to tackle in Paris and how competitive he’ll be in them, but doubt Dressel at your peril. — Goodman

Katie Ledecky Nationality: United States | Age: 27 | Events: freestyle | Olympic experience: 2012 (1g), 2016 (4g, 1s), 2020 (2g, 2s) Ledecky has a terrific chance to leave Paris as the most decorated female Olympic swimmer of all time, which is fitting, considering its about the only accolade left for her to chase. The Bethesda, Maryland native has been the personification of inevitability in the women’s distance freestyle events dating back to her Olympic debut at London 2012 as a 15-year-old. Still a dominant force, Ledecky has more worthy challengers than usual ahead of the Paris Games, though she’s still a favorite to win multiple gold medals. — Goodman

Leon Marchand Nationality: France | Age: 21 | Events: butterfly, individual medley | Olympic experience: 2020 Marchand is not only France’s best chance at gold in the pool, he’s primed to be one of the faces of the Games for the host nation across all sports. The Toulouse native currently competes with the Arizona State Sun Devils under coach Bob Bowman, who famously helped mold Michael Phelps into the greatest swimmer of all time. Marchand specializes in some of the same events that Phelps did, including the 400m IM in which Marchand bested Phelps’ last remaining world record in 2023. — Goodman

Summer McIntosh Nationality: Canada | Age: 17 | Events: butterfly, freestyle, individual medley | Olympic experience: 2020 At 14, McIntosh was one of the youngest swimmers competing at the Tokyo Olympics, and still finished just one spot off the podium in the 400m IM. Now a full-fledged teen sensation, McIntosh is on course to contend for multiple gold medals in Paris. She currently holds the world record in the 400m IM, briefly held the 400m freestyle world record in 2023, and is also a two-time defending world champion in the 200m butterfly. Not many can match that kind of versatility. — Goodman

Regan Smith Nationality: United States | Age: 22 | Events: butterfly, backstroke | Olympic experience: 2020 (2s, 1b) A former world record holder in both the 100m and 200m backstroke, Regan Smith ranks among the very best butterfly swimmers in the world and is the gold medal favorite in the 200m butterfly. Her Olympic debut in Tokyo yielded three medals, though she hopes to strike Olympic gold for the first time in Paris. She'll likely line up as part of multiple must-see duels against McIntosh and Australian backstroke ace Kaylee McKeown . — Goodman

TABLE TENNIS

Ma Long Nationality: China | Age: 35 | Events: Men’s singles, team | Olympic experience: 2012 (1g), 2016 (2g), 2020 (2g) Hailed as the greatest table tennis player in history, China's Ma Long is already the sport's most decorated Olympian with a record five gold medals. In Tokyo, he became the first player in history to win consecutive gold medals in the men's singles event. Paris is anticipated to be his last Olympics and is a chance to break his own record, potentially taking home a sixth gold medal. — Maher

CJ Nickolas Nationality: United States | Age: 22 | Event: Men's 80kg | Olympic experience: None Known as one of taekwondo's most exciting athletes to watch, CJ Nickolas is a rising star and bona fide medal contender for Team USA. The California native earned silver at last year's World Championships, ending a medal drought for the U.S. men that had lasted since 2009. He's also coming off a gold medal at the 2023 Pan American Games. Nickolas is currently ranked No. 2 in the men's 80kg weight class. — Smith

Carlos Alcaraz Nationality: Spain | Age: 20 | Events: Men’s singles | Olympic experience: None The Paris tennis tournament will feature the Olympics debut of prodigious former world No. 1, Carlos Alcaraz. At only 20 years old, the Spaniard has already won two Grand Slams and risen to the top of the rankings since turning pro in 2018. Alcaraz looks to add a gold medal in Paris to his already impressive titles collection. — Maher

Novak Djokovic Nationality: Serbia | Age: 36 | Events: Men's singles | Olympic experience: 2008 (1b), 2012, 2016, 2020 Serbia's King of Swing, Novak Djokovic, is already regarded by many as the greatest men's tennis player ever. With a record 24 Grand Slam titles, seven ATP finals and as the only player in history to complete a career Golden Masters, it would seem as if Djokovic has it all—all except an Olympic gold medal. Djokovic earned a bronze medal in his Olympic debut at Beijing in 2008. In his three Olympic appearances since then, Djokovic has failed to return to the podium. Can the tennis GOAT finally capture the gold in Paris? — Maher

Coco Gauff Nationality: United States | Age: 20 | Events: Women's singles and women's doubles | Olympic experience: None Coco Gauff comes to Paris after a major disappointment in what was supposed to be her Olympic debut in 2020. The then-17-year-old announced five days before the Opening Ceremony that she had to withdraw from the Games after testing positive for COVID-19. Since 2020, Gauff has elevated her tennis game and titles. Gauff was the runner-up at the 2022 French Open in both singles and doubles and, in 2023, captured her first Grand Slam trophy at the U.S. Open. — Maher

Aryna Sabalenka Individual Neutral Athlete | Age: 25 | Events: Women's singles | Olympic experience: 2020 Reigning two-time Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka is looking to strike gold on the courts of Roland-Garros in Paris. The Belarussian with the blistering forehand is looking to top her Olympic debut in Tokyo in 2020, where she was ousted in round two. Now ranked No. 2 worldwide, Sabalenka is looking to finish No. 1 in Paris. While Belarus, along with Russia, is banned from the Paris Games due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, certain athletes like Sabalenka will be allowed to compete as neutral athletes. — Maher

Iga Swiatek Nationality: Poland | Age: 22 | Events: Women’s singles | Olympic experience: 2020 Iga Swiatek made history when she became the first Polish tennis player, male or female, to win a Grand Slam singles title at the 2020 French Open. In her Olympic debut in Tokyo, she only made it to the second round before being eliminated. Despite her poor Olympic debut, Swiatek won the U.S. Open in 2022 and is currently ranked No. 1 globally. The world's top female tennis player wants to capture gold in her second trip to the Olympics. — Maher

TRACK AND FIELD

Christian Coleman Nationality: United States | Age: 28 | Events: 100m, 200m, 4x100m relay | Olympic experience: 2016 Christian Coleman may be the biggest “what if” of the Tokyo Games after he was disqualified for missed drug tests. The American sprinter has carved out a niche as the nation’s top short-distance sprinter, winning the 60m gold medal at this year’s World Indoor Championships. The 60m isn’t an Olympic event, so Coleman will have to finish strong to compete with Lyles and others in the 100m, in which Coleman finished sixth at the Rio Olympics. — Brief

Ryan Crouser Nationality: United States | Age: 31 | Events: Shot put | Olympic experience: 2016 (1g), 2020 (1g) Ryan Crouser is, without a doubt, the greatest shot putter of all time. In Paris, he will aim to attain a status no one in shot put history has reached: three-time Olympic champion. After winning gold at the Rio and Tokyo Games, plus garnering three world titles, Crouser will throw for history at these Olympics. He’s even been staying fresh by passing on his knowledge to the next generation. — Brief

Mondo Duplantis Nationality: Sweden | Age: 24 | Event: Pole vault | Olympic experience: 2020 (1g) Armand "Mondo" Duplantis, born in Lafayette, Louisiana to an American father and Swedish mother, represents Sweden and will look to defend his Tokyo Olympic gold in the men’s pole vault. Duplantis is a walking highlight reel. At just 24, he’s won two world titles to go with his Olympic gold. He also holds the current world outdoor and indoor pole vault records. No athlete in history has cleared the six-meter mark more than Duplantis, who has done it more than 60 times. — Brief

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce Nationality: Jamaica | Age: 37 | Events: 100m, 200m, 4x100m relay | Olympic experience: 2008 (1g), 2012 (1g, 2s), 2016 (1s, 1b), 2020 (1g, 1s) Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce announced she’ll retire after the Paris Olympics, so the track world must enjoy her while it still has her. The veteran has earned eight medals across four Olympic Games and is one of the greatest sprinters of all-time. Fraser-Pryce has won more individual global sprint titles than any female sprinter — ever. She might be 37, but make no mistake, she’s still fast. The “Pocket Rocket” recently earned a bronze at Worlds in the 100m. — Brief

Anna Hall Nationality: United States | Age: 23 | Events: Heptathlon | Olympic experience: None Anna Hall is the only track and field athlete on this list without Olympic experience — and she’s here for a reason. The heptathlon is a premiere event, and Hall represents a prime redemption story for a U.S. athlete. Since missing out on the Tokyo Games when she crashed out in the hurdles at the U.S. Trials, Hall has secured two world medals and will enter to Paris seeking to become just the third American woman to win an Olympic medal in the heptathlon. — Brief

Jakob Ingebrigtsen Nationality: Norway | Age: 23 | Events: 1500m | Olympic experience: 2020 (1g) At just 23, Jakob Ingebrigtsen has catapulted to elite status in the track and field world. He’s the current world record holder for the indoor 1500m and 2000m. He owns two world titles, four European titles and an Olympic gold in the 1500m from the Tokyo Games. The men’s 1500m will feature a loaded field in Paris — possibly including Great Britain’s Josh Kerr , U.S. stars Yared Nuguse , Cole Hocker and Hobbs Kessler — but Ingebrigtsen enters as the favorite to win gold and set a possible world record in the process. — Brief

Noah Lyles Nationality: United States | Age: 26 | Events: 100m, 200m, 4x100m relay | Olympic experience: 2020 (1b) Noah Lyles is the face of American track and field and has declared his intention to win “all of the medals” in Paris. At the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Lyles became the first man since Usain Bolt to win gold in the 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay. Next, he’ll look to make history at the Olympics, where he took bronze in Tokyo in the 200m. — Brief

Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone Nationality: United States | Age: 24 | Events: 400m hurdles, 400m, 4x400m relay | Olympic experience: 2016, 2020 (2g) Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone has yet to announce whether she’ll aim to compete in the 400m hurdles, in which she won Olympic gold in Tokyo, or in the 400m flat at the Paris Games. Regardless, the 24-year-old has cemented her status as one of the faces of the sport. After withdrawing from 2023 Worlds to recover from a knee injury, McLaughlin-Levrone will headline any event she’s in. In 2022, she set the world record (50.68 seconds) for the 400m hurdles at the World Championships in Eugene, Oregon. — Brief

Sha’Carri Richardson Nationality: United States | Age: 24 | Events: 100m, 200m, 4x100m relay | Olympic experience: None Not since the 1996 Athens Olympics has an American woman won the gold medal in the women’s 100m. That drought could finally fall at the feet of Sha’Carri Richardson, the electric sprint superstar track fans just can’t take their eyes off. Richardson would have led the U.S. sprinters in Tokyo after winning that year’s U.S. Trials, but a positive marijuana test cost her a chance to compete at the Games. Since then, however, Richardson has been on a revenge tour of sorts, winning 100m gold at the 2023 World Track and Field Championships as well as leading the U.S. women to 4x100m relay gold . — Goodman

Bryony Page Nationality: Great Britain | Age: 33 | Events: Women's trampoline | Olympic experience: 2016 (1s), 2020 (1g) With a silver medal in Rio and a bronze in Tokyo, there’s one medal Bryony Page is missing and that’s Olympic gold. At the most recent world championships, Page upset Tokyo Olympic champion Zhu Xueying , setting the stage for a fierce battle in Paris. — Buhler

Alex Yee Nationality: Great Britain | Age: 26 | Events: Men's triathlon | Olympic experience: 2016, 2020 (1g, 1s( Yee is the men’s triathlon gold medal favorite after earning silver in the men’s event in 2020 and gold in the mixed team relay. Since the Tokyo Games, Yee has won two World Triathlon Championship Races and reigned supreme at the Paris Test Event in August. — Brief

Jordan Larson Nationality: United States | Age: 37 | Events: Women's volleyball | Olympic experience: 2012 (1b), 2016 (1s), 2020 (1g) Captain of the U.S. women's national team and outside hitter Jordan Larson is looking to lead the U.S. to its second gold medal in Paris. The three-time Olympian has left each of her Olympic showings with a medal, collecting a bronze in 2012, a silver in 2016 and then finally captured gold in Tokyo. — Maher

Earvin N'Gapeth Nationality: France | Age: 26 | Events: Men’s volleyball | Olympic experience: 2016, 2020 (1g) Before Tokyo, the French men's volleyball team's best Olympic result was an eighth-place finish in 1988. But that changed when the team took home the gold in Japan, led by the team's top scorer, Earvin N'Gapeth. After a ninth-place finish in Rio in 2016, N'Gapeth returned to the Olympic court with eyes on the gold medal prize, and his performance was inimitable. Throughout the tournament, the outside hitter totaled 124 attacks, six blocks, and six aces on his way to the gold. Paris will prove challenging as N'Gapeth attempts to defend France's title on home soil. — Maher

Ashleigh Johnson Nationality: United States | Age: 29 | Events: Women's water polo | Olympic experience: 2016 (1g), 2020 (1g) Ashleigh Johnson is widely regarded as the best women's water polo goalkeeper in the sport. She already has won two Olympic gold medals with the dominant U.S. team, as well as four world titles. The U.S. is always the favorite for women's water polo gold in the pool, and Johnson is one of the big reasons why. — Santos

Dusan Mandic Nationality: Serbia | Age: 29 | Events: Men's water polo | Olympic experience: 2012 (1b), 2016 (1g), 2020 (1g) Dusan Mandic is part of the core group that remains in the Serbian team that has won gold in the past two Olympic tournaments. He has won a medal at each Olympic Games he's appeared at, and with plenty of players from the 2020 Tokyo roster having already retired, he will lead a Serbian side that is still a favorite to win a medal in Paris. — Santos

WEIGHTLIFTING

Olivia Reeves Nationality: United States | Age: 20 | Event: Women's 71kg | Olympic experience: None Despite still technically qualifying as a junior athlete at just 20 years old, Chattanooga, Tennessee's Olivia Reeves arguably represents Team USA's best chance at a weightlifting medal in Paris. Reeves qualified for Paris as the second-ranked athlete in the women's 71kg weight division, and she only appears to be getting better by the day. At her most recent competition in April, Reeves won gold at the IWF World Cup in Thailand, setting three American records in the process. — Goodman

Lasha Talakhadze Nationality: Georgia | Age: 30 | Event: Men's 102+kg | Olympic experience: 2016 (1g), 2020 (1g) The strongest Olympian to ever live returns to the platform for his third appearance at the Games, as Lasha Talakhadze looks to become just the sixth person ever to win weightlifting gold at three consecutive Olympics. The Georgian heavyweight already holds the all-time world records regardless of weight category in the snatch (225 kg, 496 lbs), the clean and jerk (267 kg, 589 lbs), and the total (492 kg, 1,085 lbs) which he set just months after winning gold in Tokyo in 2021. Paris offers an opportunity to add to Talakhadze's growing case as the greatest lifter of all time. — Goodman

WRESTLING

Amit Elor Nationality: United States | Age: 20 | Event: Women's 68kg freestyle | Olympic experience: None U.S. women have recently won wrestling gold thanks to Helen Maroulis (2016) and Tamyra Mensah-Stock (2020), and now 20-year-old Amit Elor could be next in line. Elor has won back-to-back world titles at 72kg (a non-Olympic weight class) but is dropping down to 68kg for an Olympic run. Depending on what happens at Olympic Trials, Elor could potentially become the youngest woman to ever make the U.S. Olympic wrestling team. — Smith

Mijain Lopez Nationality: Cuba | Age: 41 | Event: Men's 130kg Greco-Roman | Olympic experience: 2004, 2008 (1g), 2012 (1g), 2016 (1g), 2020 (1g) No athlete has ever won gold medals in the same individual event at five consecutive Olympic Games, but Cuban legend Mijain Lopez has a chance to rewrite the history books this summer. Lopez, the four-time reigning Olympic champion of Greco-Roman's super heavyweight division, returned to competition last year with the goal of reaching the Paris Games and winning that historic fifth gold. First though, the 41-year-old will need to beat out compatriot Oscar Pino for a spot on Cuba's Olympic team. — Smith

David Taylor Nationality: United States | Age: 33 | Event: Men's 86kg freestyle | Olympic experience: 2020 (1g) David Taylor is the reigning Olympic champion at 86kg and a three-time world champion. He's also developed a exciting rivalry with Iran's Hassan Yazdani — the two wrestlers have met in the final of every Olympic and world championship tournament since 2021 — that could very well continue in Paris. A gold medal would make Taylor just the third U.S. wrestler to ever win back-to-back Olympic titles. — Smith
