Figure skating events at the 2022 Winter Olympics began on February 3 and run through February 19. All events are streaming live on Peacock, and select events are being broadcast live or re-aired during NBC’s primetime coverage.

Team USA already earned a silver medal in this year’s team event, but reports of a failed drug test from a Russian skater has delayed the medal ceremony. The IOC stated they’re hoping to resolve the issue as soon as possible. 

The US has a shot at taking home additional medals as the figure skating competition continues. Nathan Chen scored a 113.97 in the men’s short program on February 7, breaking the previous world record set by Yuzuru Hanyu of Japan. Chen finished the short program in first place and is expected to perform last in the free skate on February 9. 

Meanwhile, teenage newcomer Alysa Liu is in the mix to challenge front-runners in the women’s program. In the ice dancing event, veteran pair Madison Chock and Evan Bates are looking to medal for the first time as the competition landscape has changed since 2018.

Team USA is also making history at this year’s Olympic games. Timothy LeDuc is set to become the first openly non-binary winter Olympian. They will be competing in the pairs figure skating event with Ashley Cain-Gribble.
