ST. LOUIS — Champions will be crowned tonight at the 2026 U.S. figure skating championships.
Day 3 of the nationals will see the free skates of the pairs and women, and if it’s anything like what happened on Day 1, it’ll be another outstanding night on the ice.
Amber Glenn and Alysa Liu had record-breaking performances in their short program, and along with Isabeau Levito, make up the top three in the standings. Glenn is on pace for her third straight U.S. title, but Liu has a chance to jump ahead to claim her first national title since 2020.
On the pairs side, Alisa Efimova and Misha Mitrofanov have a healthy lead in first and can win back-to-back U.S. championships. Yet the question remains if the couple will be Olympic eligible, a storyline to watch as the Team USA announcement approaches.
