Skate America Opens in Lake Placid With Olympic-Season Stakes
The Lake Placid stop shapes Grand Prix Final bids during an Olympic season.
Overview
- Competition runs Nov. 14–16 at Herb Brooks Arena as the fifth of six Grand Prix events, returning to the site that hosted the inaugural edition in 1979.
- All sessions stream on Peacock, with television coverage on E! and an NBC broadcast on Sunday.
- World champion Alysa Liu leads the U.S. women after her comeback season; she would clinch a Grand Prix Final berth with a win and is likely to qualify with a top‑three finish.
- Ice dance leaders Madison Chock and Evan Bates pursue a fifth Skate America title, Jason Brown returns in the men’s field, and top pairs include Japan’s Riku Miura/Ryuichi Kihara and Georgia’s Anastasiia Metelkina/Luka Berulava.
- Results here feed Grand Prix Final qualification and pre‑Olympic momentum, but no Olympic team spots are awarded at this event.
