American Samoa competed at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, China, which were held from February 4 to 22, 2022. The territory's participation in Beijing marked its second appearance and return to the Winter Games since its debut in 1994. Nathan Crumpton was the sole athlete competing for the territory; he would compete in skeleton. Crumpton previously competed at the 2020 Summer Olympics, which made him the first American Samoan athlete to compete at the Summer and Winter Games. He was the flagbearer for the territory at the opening ceremony and closing ceremony, and he went viral for being shirtless during the ceremonies.
Crumpton qualified for the games based on his rank on the International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation's ranking list. He competed in the men's skeleton and placed nineteenth, which was the highest placement of the territory at the Winter Games. American Samoa has yet to win a medal in any Olympic Games.
