“I am really excited about the upcoming season. The team has put in a lot of work during the offseason, and their growth has been incredible. They’re focused, motivated, and ready to compete at a high level,” U.S. Ski and Snowboard’s ski jumping and Nordic combined Sport Director Anders Johnson said. “I believe we’re just scratching the surface of what they can achieve. I’m confident that if we keep this momentum going, we’re going to have a strong year ahead. The athletes are eager to get out there and prove themselves.”

Two-time Olympian and four-time World Championships team member Ben Loomis and 2022 Olympian and 2023 World Championships team member Stephen Schumann return to lead the men’s Nordic combined team for the 2024-25 season. Two-time World Championships team member Annika Malacinski will lead the women’s roster.

“I’m thrilled to announce this year’s nordic combined teams.” Johnson said. “Their impressive progress over the past year has been remarkable and a true testament to their hard work and dedication. I’m really looking forward to watching this team excel this season on the World Cup tour and at the World Championships in Trondheim, Norway.”
