                               RESOLUTION


 
    Commemorating the past success of the United States Olympic and 
     Paralympic Teams and supporting the United States Olympic and 
    Paralympic Teams in the 2022 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games.

Whereas, for 126 years, the Olympic Movement has worked to build a better and 
        more peaceful world by educating young people through amateur athletics, 
        bringing together athletes from many countries in friendly competition, 
        and forging new relationships bound by friendship, solidarity, and 
        fairplay;
Whereas the 2022 Olympic Games will take place from February 4, 2022, to 
        February 20, 2022, and the 2022 Paralympic Games will take place from 
        March 4, 2022, to March 13, 2022;
Whereas at the 2022 Olympic Games, athletes from the United States Olympic Team 
        will compete in 109 events across 15 disciplines, and at the 2022 
        Paralympic Games, athletes from the United States Paralympic Team will 
        compete in 78 events across 6 disciplines;
Whereas the United States Olympic and Paralympic Teams have won 216 gold medals, 
        231 silver medals, and 173 bronze medals, totaling 620 medals, during 
        the past Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games;
Whereas the United States plans to send 224 athletes to participate in the 2022 
        Olympic Winter Games, including 108 women, which will be the largest 
        ever female contingent for the United States at an Olympic Winter Games;
Whereas the people of the United States stand united in respect for and 
        admiration of the members of the United States Olympic and Paralympic 
        Teams and the athletic accomplishments, sportsmanship, and dedication to 
        excellence of the United States Olympic and Paralympic Teams;
Whereas the many accomplishments of the United States Olympic and Paralympic 
        Teams would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication 
        of many others, including individuals on the United States Olympic and 
        Paralympic Committee and the National Governing Bodies of Sport and the 
        many administrators, coaches, and family members who provided critical 
        support to the athletes;
Whereas the people of the United States take great pride in the qualities of 
        commitment to excellence, grace under pressure, and goodwill toward 
        competitors exhibited by the athletes of the United States Olympic and 
        Paralympic Teams; and
Whereas the Olympic Movement celebrates competition, fairplay, and the pursuit 
        of glory, elevating the eternal qualities of the human spirit to the 
        world stage: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) supports the participation of the United States Olympic 
        and Paralympic Teams in the 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter 
        Games in a safe, free, and secure environment;
            (2) applauds the athletes and coaches of the United States 
        Olympic and Paralympic Teams and their families who support 
        them;
            (3) supports the athletes of the United States Olympic and 
        Paralympic Teams in their endeavors at the 2022 Olympic and 
        Paralympic Winter Games; and
            (4) supports the goals and ideals of the Olympic Games and 
        Paralympic Games.
