Who is competing Saturday?
Malinin is set to perform his short program as part of the team event.
In the free dance, the U.S. team of Madison Chock and Evan Bates is expected back on the ice following their rhythm dance win Friday, which featured a stunning 90’s-themed performance.

What to expect
Chock called Team USA “the strongest team we’ve ever had going into an Olympic Games.”
“We have three reigning world champions, which is unheard of,” she said.
Arguably the most anticipated performance will come from skating icon Malinin.
Fresh off his fourth straight national title, Malinin is the prohibitive favorite to follow in the footsteps of Nathan Chen by delivering another men’s gold medal for the American squad.
On the women’s side, three prominent skaters will all be vying for their shots at a medal: Alysa Liu, Amber Glenn and Isabeau Levito.
The trio will be aiming for the first U.S. women’s medal since Sasha Cohen in Turin in 2006, and perhaps the first gold medal since Sarah Hughes triumphed four years earlier at the Salt Lake City Games.
Then there’s the husband-wife duo of Chock and Bates.
Bates, a Midwest native, and Chock will be among the gold medal favorites. The pair are the only returning members from the 2022 gold medal-winning U.S. figure skating team, but this time they’re going for their first-ever individual gold.
Chicago-area skater Danny O’Shea and partner Ellie Kam, known for their incredible lifts, will also be competing in the pair’s program. They’ll face some stiff competition if they want to make it onto the podium.
