Who were the 2022 US Figure Skating Champions?

Three of the four 2022 national champions will not return to defend their crown in 2023. Six-time reigning men’s champion Nathan Chen is out this season, while 2022 women’s champion Mariah Bell and two-time doubles winners Ashley Kane and Timothy LeDuc (2019, 2022) are all retired.

These aren’t the only famous names not in this year’s competition. Men’s figure skater Vincent Zhou (not competing this season), women’s figure skater Alice Liu, and dancers Zachary Donoghue and Madison Hubbell (ret.) will also not be in attendance.

Evan Bates and Madison Chalk, however, want to repeat this in San Jose. The tandem has been on the podium of the national title for 10 years in a row, winning three golds (2015, 2020, 2022), six silvers and one bronze. At the 2022 Beijing Olympics, they placed fourth behind bronze medalists Donoghue and Hubbell.
