History

Team USA has historically done quite well in figure skating.  We have medalled every time Figure Skating has been contested, except twice (1908, 1936).  We're leading the all-time medal count (if you separate USSR and Russia...otherwise they're at the top.)  Thus far, we have 17 Gold, 16 Silver, and 21 Bronze.

 

Most recently in 2022, we won 3 medals. Nathan Chen won Gold in Men's Singles, we won Gold in the Team Event, and Hubbell/Donohue won Bronze in Ice Dance.

 

We won two bronze medals in 2018 (Ice Dance and Team).

We have been awarded almost the full slate of positions for figure skating.  Our US Trials will be January 4-11 in St. Louis.  I know there are some who are probably shoe-ins (Malinin, Liu, Glenn, Chock/Bates, Kam/O'Shea) but we'll have to wait and see!

Skate Canada...

 

Shocker! Ilia Malinin won big time.

Good to see Isabeau Levito win silver for the Women.

Kam and O'Shea won bronze.

Carreira and Ponomarenko were one point off the podium for the dancers.

    • I just woke up. It's surprising that Malinin lost. Before the Olympics, I thought there was a 99% chance Malinin would win. I can only say that this is the charm of the Olympics.
    • I'm far from perfect but for the most part my skeletons are funnier than they are problematic - just stuff I prefer to not share on International television :P   I also don't have an SO to cheat on (...anymore, since I am a divorcé and single-ish xD )
    • Always incredible to see people freely share information that you could not waterboard out of me

    • Some words about Ghiotto: for me he doesn't have the same personality/character, like Lollobrigida- I also wrote about this yesterday about case of Wiklund. Ghiotto can only win/win medals when he's in 100% shape. Otherwise, he gives up mentally. He can't break through in a difficult moment during the race and try to salvage at least some of his race. Today, the silver/bronze medal was within reach- all he needed was to win the heat against Begrsma (when was the last time he lost to him in a 10 km race?). In my opinion, Lollobrigida had the totally different personality, that Ghiotto did. When she would a similar mental, like Ghiotto, so she have given up yesterday with max. 2/3 laps remaining and finished 4. Another thing is that even without the right mentality, Ghiotto today had his worst 10k race in over 5 years and there's no excuse for that. Unless he was sick or injured, but I don't know anything about that yet.
    • When I was recently in Warsaw in December and walking its streets, I have the impression that for about 5-10 years, 1/3 of your athletes of most of popular sports summer and winter, will be probably came from Ukraine/Belarus etc., but I could be wrong. Unfortunately, the war contributed a lot to this, and it's not over yet    Poland did a great business with Semyrunyi, but it was certainly influenced by the fact that they have an indoor track and good training conditions there, but it could have been as you wrote, that today he would have won a medal for Kazakhstan or Germany. At all, Poland currently only has excellent sprint teams: men's and women's, so someone like Wladimir would be very useful in the long distances, because without him, Poland is practically nonexistent there. And yet, they have one more medal.    The Czech Republic, however, has the greatest luck: no indoor track at home, no major home events like the Olympics, etc, all the attention on ice hockey, but for 20 years they've had Sablikova and now Jilek- probably for next 20 years. Sport isn't always fair. Actually, Slovakia could at least get someone like that now, just to balance things out, instead of always having lucky of one country
    • "Hey man, did you touch that rock?" "No, I didn't" "Are you sure, because it looked like you did. You're a good guy, but it looked like you did" "I promise you I didn't" "If you say so" "FUCK OFF!"   -Bad dude   "*mumble mumble* easy to make shots when you touch the stone *mumble mumble*" walks away "Who touched the stone?" Surprised Pikachu face "Who touched the stone?" Even more surprised Pikachu face "Fuck off"   -Not great, but understandable.    If you think someone cheated or made a mistake, talk to the official or confront them nicely. It's not like these guys don't know each other. It's not like Team Canada or Team Sweden hasn't been here before.   This can be turned around and put on the Swedes lashing out over being terrible their first three games. It doesn't appear anyone needs to cheat to beat them right now. 
    • Uf.  Finally managed to watch the last few skaters.  That was painful (Malinin + all the others...).  Happy for Shaidorov  .  He had a great skate.  Now off to nurse some wounds...   (Can we get a reverse upset and have Campbell Wright pull off a biathlon medal?)
