The U.S. fielded one of its strongest figure skating teams in history for the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics, and now it is time for three of the best-known members of the team to shine: the so-called “Blade Angels.

The Blade Angels have arrived in Milan. And after the short program, Alysa Liu is very much in gold medal contention, while Isabeau Levito and Amber Glenn are not. Liu led Team USA’s much-heralded trio of skating women on the ice for Tuesday night’s short program.

Hello from Milan and Cortina, where Team USA’s “Blade Angels” began the women’s figure skating competition.

Enter the “Blade Angels,” the American trio of Glenn, Liu and Levito. They are aiming to put an American on the podium for the first time since 2006, when Sasha Cohen won silver. If one of them wins gold, it’ll be the first for the Americans since Sarah Hughes won in 2002 in Salt Lake City.
