US Figure Skating Team Aims for Greatness
The US is sending a very strong figure skating team to the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy.
Many people think this team could be the best ever.
The team has great skaters in both men's and women's singles, as well as in ice dancing.
The women's team is especially strong, with skaters who have won many titles.
The men's team also has talented skaters, including one who is known for doing very hard jumps.
The team includes both experienced skaters and new, rising stars.
They are expected to do well in most events, except maybe in pairs skating, where the US hasn't won a medal since 1988.
Everyone is excited to see how they will do in Italy.
The US figure skating team for the 2026 Winter Olympics is considered one of the greatest ever.
The team is strong in men's and women's singles, as well as ice dancing.
Women's singles skaters Amber Glenn, Isabeau Levito, and Alysa Liu are particularly notable.
Ilia Malinin is seen as the US's best hope for men's figure skating gold.
The team includes a mix of experienced skaters and rising stars, aiming for multiple medals.
