Which U.S. Speedskating National Teams Are Featured on usspeedskating.org?

Updated

US Speedskating's site highlights its national teams across two disciplines—long track and short track—and posts roster announcements for each. From the homepage and news excerpts, you can find the 2026 Short Track World Tour Team and the 2026-27 Long Track National Team, along with athlete results and camp representation. The site also points visitors to "Meet the Teams" and "About US Speedskating" sections for broader context. If you want to know who skates for the U.S. and in which discipline, the team announcements are the place to look.

The two disciplines, and why the teams are separate

Speedskating splits into long track and short track, and US Speedskating fields distinct national teams for each.

  • Long track is raced on a 400-meter oval, typically with two skaters at a time racing the clock over distances. The site's "Introducing the 2026-27 Long Track National Team" announcement covers this group.
  • Short track is raced on a smaller rink with packs of skaters together, where positioning and passing matter as much as raw speed. The "2026 Short Track World Tour Team" announcement covers this group.

Because the racing format, training, and competition calendar differ, rosters are named and announced separately. A skater's team affiliation tells you which circuit they compete on.

What team information is posted

The site's news feed carries team and athlete announcements. Examples visible in the page content include:

Announcement What it covers
2026 Short Track World Tour Team Short track national team roster for the World Tour
2026-27 Long Track National Team Long track national team roster for the season
Brandon Kim, Kristen Santos-Griswold Open Season With U.S. Overall Titles Athlete results at season-opening competition
Andrew Heo Leads U.S. Representation at the Bangkok 2026 ISU Development Short Track Camp U.S. athletes at an international development camp
Desert Classic Opens 26-27 Season with an Expanded Format Season event with format changes

These are dated posts, so the most current roster is the latest team announcement rather than a static list. If you're checking who is on a team right now, look for the newest announcement for that discipline.

How to use the site to follow the teams

  1. Go to usspeedskating.org and look at the news/announcements feed on the homepage for team roster posts.
  2. Use the "Meet the Teams" section to browse team information.
  3. Check "About US Speedskating" for organizational context and the Events Calendar for when teams compete.
  4. For athletes new to the sport, the homepage's club-finder map helps locate a rink or club—many skaters start there before reaching national-team level.

What the site does not give you

The page content does not include a single consolidated roster page listing every national team member with bios, nor does it state membership pricing or login requirements. Treat team composition as something announced through dated news posts, and confirm current rosters from the latest announcement rather than assuming a list is permanent.
