2024-25 U.S. Ski Jumping Team Announced

U.S. Ski & Snowboard officially announced the 17 athletes who have accepted their nominations to the 2024-25 U.S. Ski Jumping Team for the 2024-25 season.

Casey Larson, Erik Belshaw and Tate Frantz lead this year's men’s A Team. Two-time Olympian Larson is coming off of a shoulder injury this past summer, and will return to the hill in October for U.S. Nationals. Erik Belshaw had a personal best season in 2024-25, securing a silver medal at the Junior World Championship, becoming the first ever U.S. male ski jumper to medal at the event. And coming off last year’s personal best season, Frantz made a notable jump from last year's D Team, highlighted by his top 20 finish at the Ski Flying World Championships in Kulm, Austria last season.

Annika Belshaw and Paige Jones lead the women’s team on the B Team. Annika Belshaw had more than 10 top-30 finishes in the World Cup competitions last season, while Jones had an impressive fourth place at the Intercontinental event in Lillehammer, Norway in December last year.

“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,” said U.S. Ski & Snowboard Ski Jumping Sport Director Anders Johnson. “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.”

The 2024-25 FIS World Cup season will kick off for both men and women in Lillehammer, Norway on Nov. 22, 2024 on the large hill. The World Cup will come back stateside for a World Cup in Lake Placid, New York Feb. 6-8, 2025, where both men and women will compete. It will be the first time in history that U.S. women will have competed at a World Cup on home soil. The World Championships will be held in Trondheim, Norway from Feb. 27 - March 8, 2025.
