  • Madison Chock and Evan Bates matched the U.S. record by winning their sixth ice dance national title on Saturday.

The article from Newsday discusses the U.S. Figure Skating Championships, which are crucial for determining the U.S. team for the Winter Olympics. Held in Nashville, the championships feature intense competition across various figure skating disciplines including men's, women's, pairs, and ice dance. Key highlights include the performances of top contenders like Nathan Chen in men's singles, who is looking to solidify his spot after a strong season, and the comeback of veteran skaters like Jason Brown. In women's singles, attention is on young talents like Alysa Liu, who has already made history as the youngest U.S. champion. The pairs and ice dance events also showcase both established teams and emerging duos, with the pressure high as only a select few will make the Olympic team. The championships not only serve as a selection event but also as a platform for skaters to gain international recognition and experience before the Olympics.
