Overview
- Ilia Malinin leads the men's entries with a fourth straight national title, joined by Andrew Torgashev and bronze medalist Maxim Naumov, who scored 249.16 in St. Louis.
- Officials said selections weighed the past two seasons with the U.S. Championships carrying the most weight, leaving veteran Jason Brown as an alternate after finishing eighth.
- Pairs champions Alisa Efimova and Misha Mitrofanov were left off because Efimova lacked a U.S. passport by the deadline, so Ellie Kam/Danny O’Shea and Emily Chan/Spencer Akira Howe claimed the berths.
- Naumov dedicated his Olympic spot to his late parents, held up their photo at nationals, and shared a widely viewed hug with 11-year-old Grace Zhang, a former student of his parents.
- The roster also features women Amber Glenn, Alysa Liu and Isabeau Levito and ice dance teams Madison Chock/Evan Bates, Emilea Zingas/Vadym Kolesnik and Christina Carreira/Anthony Ponomarenko, with the Games opening Feb. 6.
