Team USA already won gold in the team event for the second consecutive Winter Olympics. Now some of its members are competing for individual glory. Team USA has another chance for a repeat gold in figure skating in the men’s singles. Nathan Chen, who won that event at the 2022 Winter Olympics, isn’t competing in Milan Cortina 2026. Instead, we have Ilia Malinin, whose performance clinched the gold medal for Team USA, Alysa Liu, Amber Glenn and a host of others. The men’s singles are up first. var pymParent = new pym.Parent('olyLink5567', 'https://visuals.otsops.com/projects/milan-links-generator/visual-link.html?link=https://www.nbcolympics.com/videos/chock-and-bates-search-individual-goal-milan-cortinatitle=Chock%20and%20Bates%20search%20for%20individual%20gold%20at%20Milan%20Cortinarand=5567image=https://images.nbcolympics.com/sites/default/files/post/short_form_video/2026/02/09/oly26_fs_7278_hlf_todaychockbates_260209.jpg?impolicy=rect_medium_1024_576', {title: '', parenturlparam: '', parenturlvalue: ''}); More Olympics 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics 2 hours ago ‘Quad God' nails historic backflip, but some say this Black skater should've won glory 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics 14 hours ago Which one's Mariah?
