Isabeau Levito and the ‘Blade Angels’ highlight Olympic TV schedule on Tuesday
American figure skaters Alysa Liu, Amber Glenn, and Levito will take the ice Tuesday afternoon on NBC.
U.S. figure skaters Isabeau Levito, Alysa Liu, and Amber Glenn will take the ice Tuesday during NBC’s coverage of the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics.
The American trio, who call themselves the “Blade Angels,” will compete in the short program, which will be televised live beginning at 12:45 p.m. Philadelphia time on USA Network. Coverage will move to NBC at about 2:40 p.m.
Levito, Liu, and Glenn will skate in the fifth and final group. Here’s when they’re scheduled to take the ice:
4:02 p.m.: Liu
4:07 p.m.: Levito
4:26 p.m.: Glenn
The free skate, the second part of the event, is scheduled to take place beginning at 1 p.m. Thursday.
The three U.S. skaters are trying to end a two-decade medal drought in the women’s event. The last American to medal was Sasha Cohen, who took home a silver in Turin, Italy, in 2006. Sarah Hughes won the gold for Team USA during the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics.
Liu and Glenn have already won gold medals in Milan after the U.S. edged Japan by one point in the team figure skating team event last week.
Levito, a Philly native who grew up in Mount Holly, is skating in her first Olympics after winning the bronze medal at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships in January. The 18-year-old also won silver at the 2024 World Championships in Montreal, but a foot injury prevented her from competing most of last season.
