Honda today announced the selection of 10 inspiring Team USA athletes as official Team Honda ambassadors for the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026.

These athletes embody the spirit of determination, innovation and excellence that drives the commitment of Honda to “The Power of Dreams.”

As they prepare to compete on the world’s biggest stage, these athletes will represent not only Team USA but also the belief of Honda that dreams – when powered by passion and perseverance – can lead to extraordinary achievements. From the slopes to the ice, their journeys reflect the courage to dream big and the drive to make those dreams a reality.

Stolz, who owns a Honda, said it’s been a big part of his career helping him get to the Pettit Center and back.

“I feel like Honda has been helping me pursue my dreams since the early days of my career,” said Stolz. “My first car was a Honda, and I still proudly drive it today back and forth to the arena for practice—it now has over three hundred thousand miles on it. I’m excited to be a part of Team Honda and to help spread The Power of Dreams.”

“These Team USA athletes represent the very best of what it means to go for greatness and push boundaries and we’re proud to have them represent Team Honda at Milano Cortina 2026,” said Ed Beadle, vice president of Digital Services & Marketing, American Honda Motor Co., Inc. “At Honda, we believe in The Power of Dreams – and these Team USA athletes inspire us all to pursue our passions with courage and purpose. We’re honored to support them on their journey for gold.”
