Blade Angels Aim for US Sweep at 2026 Winter Olympics

The U.S. figure‑skating trio – Alysa Liu, Amber Glenn and Isabeau Levito – are poised to break a 20‑year medal drought at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan Cortina.

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.
