The 2026 Winter Olympics are in full swing, and Olympic figure skating competitions are among the most watched every time the event rolls around. On Friday, February 6, the Winter Olympics opening ceremony was held, and now, it’s onto the main event, with the USA sending 16 figure skaters to the event.
Figure skating debuted at the Summer Olympics back in 1908 in London, England, meaning it’s the first winter sport ever included in the Olympic program. The sport debuted with the Winter Olympics when the first Winter Olympics were held in Chamonix, France, in 1924.
“Since then,” the official Olympics website notes, “it has been one of the most watched and celebrated disciplines at the Winter Games, known for its blend of athleticism, precision, and artistry.”
According to Olympics research, “Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir of Canada are the most decorated Olympic figure skaters in history.” The ice dance team earned a total of five Olympic medals over three Games: three golds in the team and dance events in 2018 and the dance event in 2010 and two silvers in the team and dance events in 2014.
“Their combination of chemistry, technical excellence, and storytelling on ice captivated global audiences and redefined what ice dancing could be,” the official Olympics website notes. “Their long career also helped solidify Canada’s position as a powerhouse in the discipline.”
