The 2026 U.S. Olympic Figure Skating Team was inducted into the Colorado Springs Sports Hall of Fame on Tuesday night.

Olympic gold medalist Danny O'Shea represented the 16-member team during the induction ceremony at The Broadmoor World Arena.

O'Shea, with Olympic pairs partner Ellie Kam, and Olympic gold medalist Amber Glenn train in Colorado Springs.

Inducted were team members Alysa Liu, Amber Glenn, Isabeau Levito, Ilia Malinin, Andrew Torgashev, Maxim Naumov, Ellie Kam and Danny O'Shea, Emily Chan and Spencer Akira Howe, Madison Chock and Evan Bates, Christina Carreira and Anthony Ponomarenko, and Emilea Zingas and Vadym Kolesnik.

They delivered one of the most successful Olympics in U.S. figure skating history. Liu earned the first U.S. women's title in 24 years. Chock and Bates secured the silver medal in ice dance. Team USA, featuring Liu, Glenn, Malinin, Kam and O'Shea, and Chock and Bates earned the team event gold medal.

"One of my favorite parts about being part of the Olympic Games was getting to be part of this team," O'Shea told the audience. "We spend so much of our careers focused on our own individual skating, training and competitions, and then you are standing alongside some of the best skaters in the entire country as part of Team USA, representing our country at the Olympic Games.  It just makes you realize how far all this hard work has taken us. I'll always be so proud of what we accomplished in Milan.

"I'm just as proud of how this group showed up for each other. When someone needed encouragement, a laugh or even just a little space to breathe, a teammate was always there to give them exactly what they needed. All those moments really stay with me. For me, this [honor] hits especially close to home. I trained here in Colorado Springs for so long and now I get to coach here alongside some of the amazing coaches we have here in Colorado Springs, helping young skaters work toward their dreams. … So many of us have connections to the city: the coaches, the clubs and the people who support skating here who have helped generations of athletes reach the world stage; we are so proud of be part of the sports history in Colorado Springs."

O'Shea's address was preceded by a short video, which featured Glenn, coach Drew Meekins, and Zingas and Kolesnik talking about the team's journey to Milan and what the award means to them.

In addition to the Olympic Team's recognition, U.S. Figure Skating was honored with the Pikes Peak Legacy Award.

Colorado Springs has long stood at the center of American figure skating as the home of U.S. Figure Skating headquarters, the World Figure Skating Museum & Hall of Fame and generations of elite training programs. The city's legacy in the sport helped shape the development of countless Olympians and world champions, making the connection between Team USA and Colorado Springs especially meaningful.

U.S. Figure Skating Chief Executive Officer Matt Farrell accepted the award on behalf of the past and current leadership and employees of the organization.

"Colorado Springs has a remarkable history of skaters who have made the city their home or an important part of their lives," Farrell said. "They include some of the most iconic names in Olympic history — not just figure skating history. Peggy Fleming trained here before becoming an Olympic champion, as did Dorothy Hamill and Scott Hamilton. Colorado Springs has also been a constant throughout the career of Alysa Liu, our most recent Olympic champion, while Amber Glenn lives and trains here. And one of the most impressive gentlemen you'll ever meet, a great representative of Olympic team and the sport, Danny O'Shea.

"So it's a rich history — a quilt of what we've done as part of this community, and we are so thankful for what this community has done for us."
