Madison Chock and Evan Bates have defended their ice dancing title at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships, scoring 137.85 in the free dance for a top score of 229.75.

Eight months after finishing behind the Russians at the Winter Olympics, the U.S. team has yet to receive its medals.

Olympic ice dance champions Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron shattered their own rhythm dance world record on Friday to take the lead over two American teams at the world championships in Montpellier, France.

Nathan Chen and the U.S. figure skating team took a surprising lead on the opening day of competition at the Beijing Olympics.

Six-time U.S. champion Nathan Chen and Vincent Zhou are headed back to the Olympics, joined by longtime fan favorite Jason Brown on a strong and deep American contingent for next months’ Beijing Games.

Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohue won the final Skate America of their careers on Sunday by a tiny margin.

Even with an error at the beginning of his free skate, Chen was unbeatable Sunday, winning his fifth straight U.S. Not since Button won each title from 1946-52 has any American man had such a streak of success. Throw in two world championships and being unbeaten since not medaling at the 2018 Olympics, and Chen already has a resume for the ages. “It’s incredible to try to follow in his footsteps,” Chen said of Button. Only at Skate America in October was Chen able to strut his stuff.
