Two-time World champion Nathan Chen’s free skate at the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final 2019 will be featured in the program.

Two-time reigning U.S. champion Alysa Liu’s free skate at the 2020 Toyota U.S. Figure Skating Championships, which will be featured on Sunday, included a quad, the first by a lady at the U.S. Championships, and two triple Axels. She won the bronze medal at the ISU World Junior Figure Skating Championships 2020 last month.

Chock and Bates, who have won two World medals, were set to compete at their eighth World Championships together in March. Their free dance will be featured in Sunday’s program.
Mariah Bell’s memorable free skate from U.S. Championships will be included in “A Season’s Best.” She had a career-best finish at the 2020 U.S. Championships, after an emotional free skate which brought the crowd to its feet. Her silver medal helped her make her fourth World Team.
Jessica Calalang and Brian Johnson burst onto the stage in Greensboro, solidifying their second-place finish with the competition’s best free skate, which can be seen by fans on Sunday. This was the pairs’ second season competing together and their first World Team.
