Christina Carreira and Anthony Ponomarenko perform in exhibition after being named to the 2026 U.S. Olympic Figure Skating Team at the Enterprise Center on Sunday in St. Louis’ Downtown West neighborhood.

Glittering costumes. Blades tapping in rhythm. Unmatched athleticism on ice.

The U.S. Figure Skating Championships have brought a who’s who of American figure skating to St. Louis for the first time in 20 years.

The competition is the final major event influencing selection for the 2026 Milano Cortina Olympic team — and it comes on the heels of last year’s plane crash that claimed the lives of several U.S. figure skating coaches and athletes.

Tiffany Simon, a youth skater and hockey player from Belleville, said she is most excited to see the Olympic team announced.

“It's just amazing to get to see these Americans that are going to go out and represent our country,” Simon told STLPR's Chad Davis.
