The final figure skating competition before the 2022 Winter Olympics begins Thursday, January 6 in Nashville, Tennessee. The US Figure Skating Championship runs through Sunday.
The official USA skating team will be announced after this weekend’s championships. The winners of the competition are not automatically placed on the team, but it does play a role in the final decision of who will join the team and be able to go to Beijing in a few weeks. There are 16 spots open for the US figure skating team, and competitor performances from the last two years are being considered.
Throughout the three days of competition, there will be eight events in total. Two events will take place on Thursday and Friday each, three events will take place on Saturday, while men’s free skating will end on the weekend on Sunday.
