The Blade Angels rank in the top five of the International Skating Union’s world standings and all earned medals at the U.S. Championships in St. Louis, giving them a strong chance to claim the podium.
Tara Lipinski, former Olympic champion, said the team could even sweep all three medals, a feat not seen by U.S. women since 2006. Their diverse backgrounds – from California to Texas to New Jersey – add to the team’s appeal.
