ST. LOUIS — The 2026 U.S. figure skating championship push on with another day of action on Thursday.
The pairs and women opened Day 1 of the event, and next up are the men and ice dance pairs. It’s another chance to see phenom Ilia Malinin on his way to his first Olympics, as the “Quad God” is the favorite to take home the gold in Milano Cortina. Also, Jason Brown leads the rest of the crop trying to claim the last two Olympic spots for the men. Madison Chock and Evan Bates have dominated the ice dance and the married pair are back to go for their fifth straight U.S. title.
