"Is the new USA Dream Team a group of figure skaters? Not only because they could leave Milan with a medal haul worthy of comparison to the 1984 US boxing team or the 1996 US women's track and field squad. But because of something more: the chance this group could push figure skating beyond its traditional audience and back into the center of the sporting conversation, much like the US men's basketball team did at the 1992 Summer Olympics."
"One of the best features is the live schedule, which updates with all of the scores from the events currently taking place. Find that here: Share Hello and welcome to our daily Winter Olympics live coverage. There is a smattering of action across the Olympic venues in northern Italy today, ahead of tonight's opening ceremony at San Siro in Milan and we'll be bringing you all of it."
The United States will launch its defense of the Olympic figure skating team title at the Milano Ice Skating Arena, entering the competition with overwhelming depth. The roster's balance and strength raise the prospect of a U.S. 'Dream Team' in figure skating capable of a medal haul comparable to past American Olympic powerhouses. The group could expand figure skating's audience and return the sport to the center of sporting conversation, similar to the impact of the 1992 U.S. men's basketball team. Additional Winter Olympic action includes Team GB's successful doubles curling run and continuously updated live coverage and schedules.
