Malinin and Chock/Bates Win U.S. Titles as Glenn Completes Three-Peat Ahead of Olympic Selections

Team selections arrive Sunday, pending a citizenship ruling that could decide the U.S. pairs lineup.

Overview

  • Ilia Malinin cruised to a fourth consecutive men's crown with a 324.88 total in St. Louis in his final tune-up for Milan-Cortina.
  • Madison Chock and Evan Bates captured a record seventh U.S. ice dance title with 228.87, reinforcing their gold-medal credentials for the Olympics.
  • Amber Glenn secured a third straight national championship with 233.55, with Alysa Liu (228.91) second and Isabeau Levito (224.45) third; all three are expected to be named to the Olympic team.
  • Pairs champions Alisa Efimova and Misha Mitrofanov repeated with 207.71, but Efimova’s pending U.S. citizenship keeps their Olympic eligibility unresolved as the United States holds two pairs spots.
