The trio, ranked in the top five by the International Skating Union, all medaled at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships in St. Louis and are seen as the strongest U.S. contingent in decades. NBC commentator Tara Lipinski said the team “could see a possible U.S. sweep,” while fellow Olympian Johnny Weir praised their diverse backgrounds.
With the last American woman to medal in individual figure skating in 2006, the Blade Angels aim to break the two‑decade drought and bring the U.S. back to the podium in Milan Cortina.
