Comcast, a proud partner of Team USA, today introduced its roster of U.S. Olympic and Paralympic athletes who will represent Xfinity on the road to the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026.

"These world-class athletes embody the perseverance, excellence, and inspiration that define the Olympic and Paralympic Games," said Matt Lederer, Vice President of Brand Partnerships at Comcast. "Our commitment goes beyond sponsorship – it's about connection. Through the athletes we support, we're proud to help bring people closer together and make those connections possible."
