Figure Skaters Amber Glenn Jason Brown and Spencer Howe

Olympic excitement is building, as more athletes qualify for Team USA! This week is the U.S. Figure Skating Championships, so to get ready to watch that, we talked with figure skaters Amber Glenn, Jason Brown, and PV2 Spencer Howe to hear more details about their programs for this year. 

 

After the event is over, U.S. Figure Skating will make the final selections for the 2026 Olympic team. Cheer on Team Keep the Flame Alive (TKFLASTAN) this weekend!

 

Also on the show, we have plenty of news from Milano Cortina 2026, including more Opening Ceremony performers, the introduction of the official soundtrack, and word that the new ice hockey venue likely won't be finished on time.
