U.S. Athletes to Watch

Figure skating at the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics showcases one of the deepest U.S. teams in years, with superstar veterans and rising talent throughout the field.

Men’s Singles

Leading the way is Ilia Malinin, a generational talent whose unprecedented jump difficulty makes him a legitimate gold-medal threat. Joining him are Andrew Torgashev and Maxim Naumov, both capable of breakthrough performances on the Olympic stage. For Naumov, the Games also carry deep personal significance as he competes in honor of his family’s loss, adding emotional weight to his Olympic debut.

Women’s Singles

The U.S. women arrive with momentum and poise. Amber Glenn enters as the reigning U.S. champion, while Alysa Liu returns to Olympic competition after a stunning world-title run following time away from the sport. Rounding out the team is Isabeau Levito, whose consistency and composure have made her a fixture among the world’s best.

Ice Dance

Veteran leaders Madison Chock and Evan Bates skate in their fourth Olympics together, bringing experience and creative range. They’re joined by Christina Carreira and Anthony Ponomarenko, along with fast-rising duo Emilea Zingas and Vadym Kolesnik, who add fresh energy to the U.S. dance field.

Pairs

In pairs, Emily Chan and Spencer Howe, along with Ellie Kim and Danny O’Shea, look to convert steady progress into peak Olympic performances.

With medal contenders and compelling storylines across disciplines, the U.S. figure skating team enters Milan Cortina positioned to be one of the most watchable and competitive teams of the Winter Olympics.
