The Milan Olympics are only a few weeks away, and the United States has formalized its 2026 Olympic team. Comprising both star power and technical mastery, the 2026 team stands an excellent chance of medaling across multiple events.
While United States skaters are the reigning gold medalists in the men's competition and bronze in ice dance, Americans have suffered through long stretches of medal-free games in the women's (2006) and pairs (1988) competitions. That could well change this year at Milan, particularly in the women's event.
The United States will send 16 skaters to Milan: three women's individual competitors, three men's individual competitors, two pairs, and three ice dance teams. Skaters have been judged on the totality of their performance from the start of 2025 through this week's U.S. championships.
