What Skaters Will Be at This Year’s Stars on Ice Tour?
Olympic Gold Medalists Meryl Davis & Charlie White – This internationally-acclaimed duo has been skating together since 1997, becoming the longest-running partnership in the history of American figure skating. After winning the silver medal at the 2010 Winter Games at Vancouver, the pair took their first Olympic gold medal at the 2014 Winter Games at Sochi, Russia. They’ve also got two U.S. Championships, five Grand Prix Finals, two World Championship wins, and appearances on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars under their belt. Not too shabby!
United States Champion Ashley Wagner – “I was chosen to be on the Olympic team for a reason,” says Ashley Wagner of her appearance in the 2014 Sochi Games, where she helped the American team take home the Bronze. One of the most acclaimed and accomplished young skaters in skating today, Wagner also boasts a gold medal in the 2012 Four Continents Championship, two bronze medals and a silver in ladies’ singles events at the 2012-2015 Grand Prix Final, and more.
United States Champion Gracie Gold – At only 20 years old, Gracie Gold is already a 2012 Wold Junior silver medalist, a two-time silver medalist in the U.S. Nationals, and an Olympian with a bronze medal from the team event at the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi. If there’s someone to watch in the world of figure skating, it’s Gold.
World Silver Medalists Madison Check & Evan Bates – Teammates Madison Chock and Evan Bates have been skating together since 2011. Their career as a duo includes a silver medal win at the 2015 World Figure Skating Championships, the bronze medal at the 2013 Four Continents Championship, a win at the 2014 Skate America competition, and two silver medals at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships. Not to mention: they were part of the 2014 U.S. team at the Sochi Winter Olympics.
