U.S. Figure Skating Championships Open in St. Louis With Olympic Team Reveal on Sunday

U.S. Figure Skating will use a two‑season body‑of‑work policy to finalize a 16‑athlete Olympic roster.

Overview

  • The championships run Jan. 7–11 at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, with select coverage on NBC and USA Network and every session, including practices and juniors, streaming live on Peacock.
  • Team USA’s figure skating roster will be announced Sunday, Jan. 11 at 2 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock.
  • The delegation will comprise three men, three women, three ice dance teams and two pairs, chosen on results across the past two seasons rather than solely on nationals placement.
  • Ilia Malinin, a leading contender, is slated for the men’s short program Thursday, Jan. 8 and the free skate Saturday, Jan. 10, with prime-time TV windows on USA Network and NBC, respectively.
  • Top names in contention include Amber Glenn, Madison Chock and Evan Bates, Alysa Liu and Jason Brown, with the third men’s spot viewed as a contest between Andrew Torgashev and Max Naumov, who returned to competition after losing his parents in a 2025 air disaster.
