Team USA's Nathan Chen and individual figure skaters shine in amazing images of medal hopefuls
It's been 12 years since Team USA earned a medal in men's or women's figure skating at the Olympic Games.
At the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, there are six American stars ready to end that drought. Some have Olympics experience. Others are making their first appearance. But all have the potential to make a run at the podium.
The three women representing Team USA are Alysa Liu, Mariah Bell and Karen Chen. The three men representing the stars and stripes are Nathan Chen, Jason Brown and Vincent Zhou.
These incredible images show what's possible when these six are on the ice.
