Delta Airlines Names Athlete Ambassadors for 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games
Lindsey Vonn, Amber Glenn headline the group of athletes
Posted On: September 11, 2025 By :Delta, the official airline of Team USA, has unveiled the newest members of Team Delta for the upcoming 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.
As sponsored athletes for Delta, they are featured prominently in Delta’s campaigns ahead of the 2026 Games. Team Delta athlete ambassadors debuted during the 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in Beijing and continued with the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Summer Games in Paris last year.
“We believe meaningful journeys begin with intention — whether an athlete is chasing a dream to represent their country, or our people are delivering the world-class experiences they’ve become known for,” said Alicia Tillman, Delta chief marketing officer. “This shared sense of purpose is why Delta’s role goes far beyond simply getting these athletes or customers to their destinations. These athletes exemplify what it means to lead with purpose and power, and our 100,000 employees are proud to stand beside them as they prepare to take on the world in Milano Cortina.”
This year’s roster includes two family connections — U.S. Paralympian and three-time gold medalist in sled hockey Declan Farmer, whose mother, Patti, is a Delta flight attendant. The mother of aerialist Justin Schoenefeld, gold medalist in Mixed Team Aerials from 2022, also is a longtime Delta flight attendant.
One of the most decorated skiers in history, Lindsey Vonn, joins Team Delta. Vonn has won four World Cup overall titles and holds 82 World Cup race victories — more than any other American skier. Her Olympic gold medal in 2010 made her the first American woman to win the downhill event.
Delta will welcome a familiar face to the athlete ambassador team with figure skater Amber Glenn, who joined the athlete roster in 2022. New athletes will also join Team Delta, including the ‘Shib Sibs,’ Maia and Alex Shibutani, who were the first ice dance team of color to medal at the Winter Olympics. The rest of Team Delta includes Elana Meyers Taylor (bobsled), Amy Purdy (para snowboarding), Jessie Diggins (cross country skiing), Andrew Kurka (para Alpine skiing), Dani Aravich (para track & field, para Nordic skiing, para biathlon), Justin Schoenfeld (freestyle skiing) and snowboarding phenom Bea Kim.
