Maame Biney will become the second African-born athlete to compete for the U.S. at the Winter Olympics. J.R. Celski, a three-time medalist, is going to a third Winter Games.
Biney, Celski and Aaron Tran qualified for the U.S. Olympic short track speed skating team at trials in Kearns, Utah, after the 500m on Saturday.
The short track team is now at five skaters — John-Henry Krueger and Lana Gehring qualified on the first night Friday.
Three more skaters will qualify Sunday after 1000m races — two men and one woman.
