Olympic ice dancers Zingas and Kolesnik lead American sweep in rhythm dance at Four Continents
Zingas and Kolesnik scored 79.97 points to lead an American sweep in the rhythm dance as they prepare for the Milan Cortina 2026 Olympic Games.
- Leading an American sweep, Zingas and Kolesnik finished first in the rhythm dance at the Four Continents in Beijing, ahead of two other U.S. pairs.
- Typically, very few Olympic-bound skaters compete at Four Continents in an Olympic year, but Zingas and Kolesnik used it as a last chance to refine programs before the Milan Cortina Games.
- At the National Indoor Stadium, Zingas and Kolesnik were third after the short program, while Japan's Ami Nakai, Yuna Aoki and Mone Chiba swept the women's short program.
- Olympic rules on citizenship require athletes to be citizens, and Efimova and Mitrofanov's partner's delayed passport complicates U.S. selection, with Green and Parsons as first alternates and the Brown siblings third alternates.
- Friday's schedule opens with the free dance and the women's free skate, then moves to Saturday's men's short program and pairs free skate before Sunday concludes with the men's free skate.
