U.S. bringing 211 athletes to 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin
The U.S. Olympic Committee submitted its final roster for the Turin Olympics, a list of 211 athletes including Bode Miller, Jeremy Bloom, Michelle Kwan and Apolo Anton Ohno.
Of the 211, 85 of those competed in the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City, and 40 of those helped the United States set a record with 34 medals.
One of the athletes, Sarah Konrad, is competing in two sports, biathlon and cross country. She is the first American woman to qualify for two sports at a Winter Olympics.
The Olympics begin next Friday with opening ceremonies.
