Here’s a look at who will be competing for Team USA at the Milan Cortina Olympics next month:
Ice dance
Madison Chock and Evan Bates
- Chock and Bates will compete in the ice dance at the Olympics for the fourth time in their career as a pair. The married couple previous took home gold in 2022 for the team event.
Christina Carreira and Anthony Ponomarenko
