ISU Grand Prix Final 2022 Preview
Top figure skaters from around the world will compete in the ISU Grand Prix, which begins on Thursday in Turin, Italy, the site of the 2006 Olympic Winter Games.
Team USA has figure skaters in all of the events. That includes Ilia Malinin, 18, the No. 1 ranked male figure skater in the world, who will compete in the individual men’s competitions.
“I mean, this was a very successful Grand Prix season,” Malinin said via The Associated Press. “We put a lot of work into it to have good results.”
U.S. Pairs skater Brandon Frazier concurs.
“I look at our roster for the U.S. and it’s very exciting,” Frazier said via The Associated Press. “It’s always a privilege to share a competition with Maddie and Evan. It’s incredible what Ilia is doing. Isabeau for the women. And it’s great to have another senior U.S. team come with us — we have two in pairs in the final. That’s very exciting for us.”
Frazier and skating partner Alexa Knierim will compete along with fellow U.S. pairs duo Emily Chan and Spencer Howe. Frazier and Knierim won gold in the world championships earlier this year in Montpelier. Chan and Howe took silver in the Four Continents Championships in Tallinn this year.
Isabeau Levito, 15, who won the world junior championships, will compete in the individual women’s competitions. She looks forward to competing against Japan’s Kaori Sakamoto, who won the world championships earlier this year in Montpellier.
“She is one of my idols,” Levito said of Sakamoto via NBC Sports. “Right before her long program at worlds, you could see she was determined and strong and fierce. Her eyes would obliterate you.”
“That look and that fierceness and determination. . .I admire it so much, and I hope to have it someday,” Levito added.
The U.S. also has ice dance couples competing, which includes Madison Chock and Evan Bates. Chock and Bates won silver in the Olympic Winter Games in Beijing.
Kaitlin Hawayek and Jean-Luc Baker will also compete for the U.S. in the Grand Prix.
