Team USA will have about 200 athletes for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, which open Feb. 4.

So far, 163 athletes have qualified or been named to the team. Athletes aren’t officially on the team until nominated by a national governing body and approved by the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee.

The oldest qualifier so far is 40-year-old snowboarder Nick Baumgartner, who has a 17-year-old son, Landon, who is older than the youngest qualifier so far, 16-year-old figure skater Alysa Liu.

So far, three athletes have qualified for their fifth Olympics: curler John Shuster, snowboarder Lindsey Jacobellis and skeleton slider Katie Uhlaender. Shaun White is expected to join them in qualifying for a fifth Olympics later this week when the full snowboard team is named.

Alpine skier Steven Nyman could also qualify for a fifth Olympics, though he missed the 2018 PyeongChang Games due to injury after being named to the team.

If White is named to the team, then every individual U.S. gold medalist from the previous Olympics will return for the first time since 1968: halfpipe skier David Wise, Alpine skier Mikaela Shiffrin and snowboarders Jamie Anderson, Chloe Kim, Red Gerard and White.

In an effort to increase gender equality at the Olympics, nine mixed events have been added to the lineup at Beijing, including the short track speed skating mixed relay. To compete, each athlete must have qualified for individual competitions or the men's or women's relays, and each team will be made up of four athletes: two women and two men.

Speed skating will take place from Feb. 5 to Feb. 19; The Capital Indoor Stadium will host the debut event.

The International Olympic Committee has chosen monobob as a new event just for women. Normally, to bobsled, two to four people push and then leap into a sled before shooting down an icy course. Monobob is similar, except one person is expected to push, leap and steer. Monobob will make its debut at the Games in 2022, but was also a part of the 2020 Winter Youth Olympic Games in Lausanne, Switzerland.

The bobsleigh competition will take place from Feb. 13 to 20.

Snowboarding was first included at the 1998 Games in Japan, so it's still fairly new. This year, mixed team snowboard cross will make its debut, showcasing "mixed gender teams of two athletes, one female and one male, [competing] head-to-head in heats of four," according to U.S. Ski and Snowboard.

The competition will take place at Genting Snow Park from Feb. 5 to 15.

The latest to be added to the ski jumping lineup is the new mixed team event. Each team is made up of four athletes, two women and two men, who will compete in a woman, man, woman, man sequence, according to the Olympics website. The event takes place on a normal hill and includes one trial round, followed by two rounds of competition.

The new event will join the five-event ski jumping format and will take place from Feb. 5 to Feb. 14.
