USA Nordic has named their Nordic combined and ski jumping teams for the 2017-2018 season.

Kevin Bickner will lead the men's ski jumping squad as the only athlete to have qualified for 'A' team status.

Bickner enjoyed the best campaign of his career to date last season, which included setting a US distance record jump of 244.5 metres.

He also achieved multiple top 20 finishes on the International Ski Federation (FIS) Ski Jumping World Cup circuit.

Casey Larson, Michael Glasder and William Rhoads have been selected on the ski jumping 'B' team.

USA Nordic have also revealed their Nordic combined squad for the 2017-2018 campaign, which includes the Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang.

They will be supported by a 'B' team of Adam Loomis, Ben Berend, Ben Loomis, Jasper Good and Stephen Schumann.

Bryan Fletcher won a team normal hill bronze medal at the 2013 World Championships in Val di Fiemme and has a best World Cup result of seventh, achieved in Seefeld in Austria in December 2011 and a month later in Predazzo.

Younger brother Taylor was also a member of the bronze medal winning team in 2013.

"We’ve got a good, young team," team director Clint Jones said. 

"They had a few strong results toward the end of the season last year and we’re looking to build on those going into an Olympic year.”
