Just the best time at the European Figure Skating Championships in Sheffield this week. Next stop, Milan! 🇮🇹⛸️

There are some interesting parallels between the 1992 and 2026 US women’s Olympic figure skating team ⛸️ Yamaguchi/Liu: consistent all-rounders Kerrigan/Levito: graceful, ‘delicate’ artists Harding/Glenn: powerful technicians with a 3A

Off to my first competition of the Olympic season! ✈️⛸️ I’m so excited to visit Georgia for the first time 🇬🇪
