"A trio of Americans will be on the ice Tuesday at the 2026 Winter Olympics for the women's figure skating short program. Alysa Liu, Amber Glenn and Isabeau Levito will compete against each other, with the top 24 skaters qualifying for the free skate on Thursday. In a preview of the event, NBC used Taylor Swift to narrate a video introducing "The Blade Angels: Three American showgirls on ice," sharing stories about each American."
"The freestyle skiing men's big air medal round begins with American Mac Forehand in prime position to medal. Four years ago in Beijing, Forehand finished 11th in the same event, but momentum is on his side after being first in the qualifying round. A pair of American teenagers will compete in the women's snowboard slopestyle: 16-year-olds Jessica Perlmutter and Lily Dhawornvej. They finished 10th and 11th, respectively, in qualifying."
"Though the U.S. men's hockey team won't be in action -- it automatically advanced after going unbeaten in the group stage -- its opponent in the next round will be determined on Tuesday. The winner of No. 7 Sweden vs. No. 10 Latvia plays the U.S. in the last eight. Notable events for Tuesday ( all times Eastern) Snowboard: Women's snowboard slopestyle final, 7 a.m. Curling: Women's round-robin -- U.S. vs. Denmark, 8:05 a.m."
Three American women — Alysa Liu, Amber Glenn and Isabeau Levito — will skate the short program Tuesday with the top 24 advancing to Thursday's free skate. Liu and Glenn already hold team gold from the Milan Cortina Games after Team USA won the figure skating team event. Mac Forehand leads the freestyle skiing men's big air medal round after topping qualifying and seeks improvement from his 11th-place finish in Beijing. Sixteen-year-olds Jessica Perlmutter and Lily Dhawornvej placed 10th and 11th in snowboard slopestyle qualifying and will compete in the final. The U.S. men's hockey opponent will be decided by Sweden vs. Latvia.
