The US figure skating team has faced massive triumphs and controversies at this year's Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortino.
A major point worth discussing is how the team emerged after the ice dance competition, where Madison Chock and Evan Bates narrowly missed getting the gold medal behind a French team. Many people couldn't help but speak about the judging, slamming the manner in which they were critiqued.

However, the US Figure Skating did confirm that it was not in favor of issuing an appeal for the result. They emphasized support for the athletes while respecting the official scoring.

On the other hand, the women's singles event remains highly competitive. Japan is among the top contenders, while US skaters are all vying for leading podium positions.
