The 2026 Winter Olympics are over and the Milan Cortina Games featured Olympic glory and disappointment for the United States figure skating team.
The Americans won a team gold medal and 20-year-old Alysa Liu became the first U.S. female figure skater to win the gold in the women's individual skate since Sarah Hughes in 2002. But the "Quad God," Ilia Malinin, faltered in the free skate under pressure as a heavy favorite on the men's side and American Amber Glenn made a crucial mistake in the short program that kept her off the podium.
The figure skating calendar ensures all three skaters won't have to wait long to compete at a prestigious international event. In the case of Malinin and Glenn, they can potentially earn a measure of redemption. The 2026 ISU World Figure Skating Championships are scheduled for next month in Prague, Czech Republic, and a "Stars on Ice" tour through arenas in Japan and the United States follows to capitalize on the figure skating spotlight generated during an Olympic year.
Here's a breakdown of when Liu, Malinin and Glenn are slated to skate next, as well as a full U.S. schedule for the "Stars on Ice" tour that will feature many of the biggest figure skating stars to emerge from the 2026 Winter Olympics:
IN DEPTH: How Alysa Liu prepared her trademark hair for her Olympic moment
Liu, who is also the defending world champion after a nearly two-year hiatus from the sport, still lists the 2026 ISU World Figure Skating Championships from March 24-29 on her official schedule after winning Olympic gold in the women's individual skate in Milan. She has also been announced as one of the U.S. figure skaters scheduled to appear in the "Stars on Ice" tour beginning in Japan and then continuing throughout the United States in April and May.
Malinin is next set to appear as part of "Art on Ice" shows that also feature several musical acts in Zurich, Switzerland on Feb. 26-28, according to the schedule on his official website. The four-time world champion can then defend his title next month at the 2026 World Championships, which are still listed on Malinin's schedule.
Malinin is then slated to appear with several other U.S. Olympic figure skating stars on the "Stars on Ice" tour, beginning April 4 with a series of shows in Japan and April 16-May 31 in cities throughout the U.S.
Glenn also has the 2026 World Championships in Prague next month listed as her next competition, according to the schedule featured on her official website. The 26-year-old is a featured skater for the "Stars on Ice" tour during its United States stops in April and May.
Olympic gold medalists Madison Chock and Evan Bates and 2026 Olympian Isabeau Levito are among the U.S. figure skaters previously announced as joining Malinin, Liu and Glenn for the "Stars on Ice" tour in arenas throughout the United States. The tour opens in the U.S. on April 16 in Fort Myers, Florida and concludes on May 31 in Southaven, Mississippi. Malinin and Liu are among the U.S. figure skaters who will also appear in a series of "Stars on Ice" shows in Japan. Tickets are available for fans to purchase for U.S. shows.
