Skating
No time to waste. The American figure skating federation (US Figure Skating) announced that the United States championships in 2026, the last stage before the Milan-Cortina Winter Games, will take place in Saint-Louis. The competitions will be held from January 5 to 11 on the ice of the Enterprise Center, the home of the St. Louis Blues in the NHL. At this stage, the American body has not yet defined the selection criteria for the Olympic Games. For Beijing 2022, Team USA was composed by a selection committee, based on the results obtained during the year preceding the Games. The next season could once again be decisive for qualification. The 2025 United States Championships will take place January 20-26 in Wichita, Kansas. The world championships are scheduled for American soil in March in Boston. They will determine the number of quotas for the American team for the Milan-Cortina 2026 Games. As a reminder, a country can present a maximum of three skaters per discipline at the Olympic Games.
