アメリカのオリンピック代表選手を決める上で、重要なナショナルチーム・メンバー(U.S. Snowboard Team 2020-21 Team Nominations)に、昨季は学業のためにオフシーズンとしていたクロエ・キムが加わった。
本来なら、大会に出ていない選手が、ナショナルチーム入りするのは難しいものだが、過去の栄光と実績を考慮されたようだ。
日本国内においても平野歩夢が昨季、スケートに専念することもあり、大会オフしていたが、アメリカのような選考基準となれば、充分にナショナルチーム入りが可能だ。
以下、北京オリンピックに向かって決まった、アメリカの2020/21ナショナルチーム・メンバー表。
