Only second to the Winter Olympics, this is the most prestigious event for the sport — and will be a strong determining factor for the 2026 Olympic games in Milan less than a year away.
The U.S. is represented 11 times throughout the event, with many returning notable faces, including 2024 World Champion Ilia Malinin, who was the first to land a quadruple axel in competition; defending ice dance champions and two-time gold winners Madison Chock and Evan Bates; and Amber Glenn, two-time U.S. national champion.
