United States at the 2006 Winter Olympics
Encyclopedia
The United States Olympic Committee
(abbreviated USOC) sent 211 athletes (122 men, 89 women) to the 2006 Winter Olympics
. Chris Witty
, a four-time Olympian, who competed in both Summer and Winter games, and won a gold medal in speed skating
at the 2002 Games, served as the flag bearer at the Opening Ceremonies. Speed skater Joey Cheek
, who won gold in the 500 m and silver in the 1000 m, was the flag bearer at the Closing Ceremonies. One athlete, Sarah Konrad, became the first American woman to compete in two different disciplines at the same Winter Olympics – biathlon
and cross-country skiing
.
While the United States
' total medal count was down from the 2002 Winter Olympics
, there were many highlights to the Games. Pete Fenson
led the U.S. Curling
team to a bronze medal, their first curling medal ever won. Speed skater Shani Davis
became the first athlete of African descent from any country to win an individual gold medal. He won gold in the 1,000 m and followed that with a silver medal in the 1,500 m. Ice dancers Tanith Belbin
and Benjamin Agosto
won America's first figure skating
ice dancing medal in 30 years.
, who won two gold medals at the 2005 World Championships, failed to medal in Turin, but the men's team still earned a gold medal, as Ted Ligety
took a surprise victory in the combined. The other medal came from Julia Mancuso
, who put together two strong runs to win the women's giant slalom.

, who led his team to 4th place at the a 2006 World Championships
, started inconsistently, with a 2-2 record that included a win over the defending gold medalists from Norway. A stretch of four straight wins, however, guaranteed them a spot in the medal round going into a final round-robin game with Canada. The Americans lost that game, meaning they would face Canada again in the semifinals. They also lost this second meeting, but recovered to win the United States' first ever curling medal by beating Great Britain 8-6 in the bronze medal game.
On the women's side, Cassandra Johnson
, the 2005 World Championship silver medalist, struggled winning only two games and finishing well short of the mark needed to make the medal round.

led the ladies' singles event after the short program, but an early fall in the free skate left her in second place. In the ice dance, the team of Tanith Belbin
and Benjamin Agosto
sat just sixth after the compulsory dance, but moved up the standings in the original dance, claiming the second silver medal. Michelle Kwan
, an Olympic medalist in Nagano
and Salt Lake
, planned to compete in Turin, but pulled out due to a severe groin strain. Emily Hughes
competed in place of Kwan.

. Two other skiers had won gold medals at the World Championships, Jeremy Bloom
and Hannah Kearney
. Despite this strong roster, the U.S. team won just a single medal in Turin, as Toby Dawson
rose from 6th place in qualification to take bronze in the men's moguls. Kearney's failure to even advance from the qualifiers in the women's moguls was considering one of the team's disappointing performances.
Men
Women
, had a poor start when they suffered a surprising 3-3 tie against Latvia. They did rebound with a win over Kazakhstan, but further losses to Slovakia, Sweden and Russia meant that the Americans finished fourth in their group, with the lowest point total of any team advancing to the medal round. In their quarterfinal against undefeated Finland, the Americans quickly fell behind 2-0, but managed to tie the game early in the second period. However, the Finns again took a two-goal lead later in the second, and while the Americans managed to score once more, they could not get closer than a 4-3 loss.
The women's team, also defending silver medalists, had a very strong round-robin showing, winning their three games by a combined score of 18-3. This, combined with Canada's domination of the other group, raised much discussion about the competitiveness of women's hockey. In the semifinals, the U.S. team played Sweden, with the favoured Americans taking a 2-0 lead early in the second period. However, the Swedes then rallied, scoring twice to tie the game, and holding off the American attack and forcing a shootout
to decide the game. Swedish goaltender Kim Martin
stopped four American shooters, while Pernilla Winberg
and Maria Rooth
scored for Sweden. Prior to this game, the US had never lost to a team other than Canada, and had won each of their previous 25 encounters with Sweden. The American women bounced back from this loss in the bronze medal game, beating Finland 4-0.

's record of five gold medals. Hedrick won his first event, the 5000 metres, but when the men's pursuit team lost to Italy, his chances were dashed. He did not manage a second gold, but did win a silver and a bronze. Hedrick was the source of some controversy when he called out team-mate Shani Davis
, who skipped the team pursuit in order to prepare for his specialty, the 1000 metres. Davis won this event to become the first ever Winter Olympic individual gold medalist of African descent. The third medalist was Joey Cheek

, started inconsistently, with a 2-2 record that included a win over the defending gold medalists from Norway. A stretch of four straight wins, however, guaranteed them a spot in the medal round going into a final round-robin game with Canada. The Americans lost that game, meaning they would face Canada again in the semifinals. They also lost this second meeting, but recovered to win the United States' first ever curling medal by beating Great Britain 8-6 in the bronze medal game.

, had a poor start when they suffered a surprising 3-3 tie against Latvia. They did rebound with a win over Kazakhstan, but further losses to Slovakia, Sweden and Russia meant that the Americans finished fourth in their group, with the lowest point total of any team advancing to the medal round. In their quarterfinal against undefeated Finland, the Americans quickly fell behind 2-0, but managed to tie the game early in the second period. However, the Finns again took a two-goal lead later in the second, and while the Americans managed to score once more, they could not get closer than a 4-3 loss.

This, combined with Canada's domination of the other group, raised much discussion about the competitiveness of women's hockey. In the semifinals, the U.S. team played Sweden, with the favoured Americans taking a 2-0 lead early in the second period. However, the Swedes then rallied, scoring twice to tie the game, and holding off the American attack and forcing a shootout
