The nation's best figure skaters will converge in Nashville, Tennessee, this week for the 2022 U.S. Figure Skating Championships – a final, pivotal competition before the Beijing Winter Olympics next month.
While the top finishers at the national championships will not automatically punch their Olympic tickets, like athletes in other sports do at their Olympic trials, this week's performances will still carry significant weight. And the skaters who make Team USA will be announced by the end of the weekend.
On the men's side, Olympic gold-medal favorite Nathan Chen will be looking to win his sixth consecutive national title, as Vincent Zhou looks to dethrone him and pull the upset.
