More than 180 athletes will compete for the title of U.S. champion at the 2025 Prevagen U.S. Figure Skating Championships, set to take place Jan. 20-26 in Wichita, Kansas.
The first time the U.S. Championships has been held in the state of Kansas, titles will be on the line in the women’s, men’s, pairs and ice dance disciplines at both the championship and junior levels, as well as in novice pairs and ice dance.
All four reigning U.S. champions at the championships level will return to defend their crown. Reigning and two-time World champions Madison Chock and Evan Bates will compete for a record-tying sixth career U.S. title in ice dance while 2024 World champion Ilia Malinin will go for his third consecutive title in the men’s event. Amber Glenn and Ellie Kam and Danny O’Shea will look to earn back-to-back gold in the women’s and pairs events, respectively.
In the junior division, history can be made in the pairs event. Olivia Flores and Luke Wang have their sights set on becoming the first-ever junior pairs team to win back-to-back titles at this event.
