The ‘Blade Angels’ Take the Ice at 2026 Milan Cortina Games

The U.S. women's figure skating trio aims to break a 20-year Olympic singles medal drought, building on their recent team gold at the Milan Cortina Games, officials said.

  • On Tuesday the U.S. 'Blade Angels'—Isabeau Levito, Alysa Liu and Amber Glenn—begin their charge for medals at the Milano Ice Skating Arena amid high-pressure scenes.
  • To reset after the team event, they trained with pairs at a U.S. facility in Bergamo, about a 50-minute drive from Milan, while longer training sessions and event spacing added physical and mental strain.
  • Isabeau Levito has balanced a moldy plant and named plants Christabeau and Isatina in her Olympic village room while staying focused on competition.
  • Medal scenarios hinge on the U.S. women's Olympic team, with rivals from Japan and Russia threatening Tuesday's short program. `Strong challengers loom large,' analysts say.
  • Day 11 also features multiple medal rounds, including the U.S. men's speedskating team chasing gold and snowboard slopestyle and men's freestyle big air events.
