It's just 100 days until the 2018 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games and United Airlines has announced their lineup of Team USA athletes who will represent them in PyeongChang, South Korea.
"New Spirit of United" is their campaign as the US Olympic Committee's official airline.
Jamie Anderson of Meyers/South Lake Tahoe is one of the six athletes chosen who " embody United's core values of flying together and working as one unified team towards success".
United, in their announcement, also said the six chosen members of Team USA are role models both in and out of competition, and will represent United throughout the PyeongChang Games, and appear in a United U.S. Olympic-themed advertising campaign that will launch in January.
United is proud to work with:
Gus Kenworthy – freeskier from Telluride, Colorado and 2014 Olympic silver medalist in slopestyle.
Jamie Anderson – snowboarder from South Lake Tahoe, California and 2014 Olympic gold medalist.
J.R. Celski – short track speedskater from Federal Way, Washington and 2014 Olympic silver medalist and double bronze medalist at the Olympic Winter Games Vancouver 2010.
Erin Hamlin – luger from Remsen, New York and 2014 Olympic bonze medalist.
Nathan Chen – figure skater from Salt Lake City, Utah.
Nikko Landeros – sled hockey player from Johnstown, Colorado and two-time Paralympic gold medalist (2010, 2014).
"The Olympians and Paralympians on Team USA work as a team to excel in their sports, set records, and bring home the gold," said Andrew Nocella, executive vice president and chief commercial officer at United. "It's that same dedication and teamwork that our own United employees put forward every day to connect hundreds of thousands of our customers to the moments that matter most to them."
The carrier has been the official airline of Team USA for close to 40 years, flying athletes, and their equipment and gear, to competitions around the globe.
