2025 Media Summit: Figure Skating

The U.S. will have three entries in the women’s, men’s and ice dance events and two entries in the pairs competition.

Nomination to the 2026 Olympic Winter Games is based on the athlete’s body of work from the 2025 Prevagen U.S. Figure Skating Championships (January 2025) through the 2026 Prevagen U.S. Figure Skating Championships in St. Louis (January 2026) with more emphasis being placed on events the closer they are to the Games. The 2026 Olympic Team for figure skating will be announced on Sunday, January 11, during The Olympic Team Announcement Show at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis.

U.S. Figure Skating will travel to the Milan Games with one of its strongest delegations in history. At the 2025 World Championships in Boston, the United States won gold in three of the four disciplines for the first time in history.

Madison Chock and Evan Bates clinched their third straight World title, becoming the first-ever U.S. ice dance team to win three World golds. Ilia Malinin won his second straight World crown in the men’s discipline and is undefeated in the 2024 and 2025 calendar years. After two years in retirement, Alysa Liu secured gold at Worlds in her first season back, becoming the first U.S. woman to stand atop a World podium since 2006.
