Team USA Travels to Grand Prix de France – U.S. Figure Skating Fan Zone

Twelve U.S. athletes will travel to Angers, France, for Grand Prix de France – the third stop of the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Series – taking place Nov. 1-3.

Amber Glenn will headline the U.S. delegation heading into her first Grand Prix event of the 2024-25 season. The 2024 U.S. women’s champion started the season strong, earning her first-ever international gold medal at Lombardia Trophy last month. Her total score of 212.89 is the third highest by a woman this season with her short program score leading the table as the top score this season.

Joining Glenn in the women’s event is Sarah Everhardt, who will make her Grand Prix debut. After securing the pewter medal at the 2024 U.S. Championships, Everhardt has continued her upward trajectory, finishing on the podium at her first two international competitions – both Challenger Series events – this season.

Alisa Efimova and Misha Mitrofanov will be the sole pairs team to represent the United States in France. The pair out of Norwood, Massachusetts, in just their second season together earned their first Grand Prix medal as a team – a bronze – at Skate America earlier this month.

Two men’s competitors will represent the United States at their first Grand Prix of the season. 2024 U.S. men’s bronze medalist Camden Pulkinen will head to France after kicking off his international season with a fourth-place finish at Cranberry Cup.

Also competing in the men’s event is Andrew Torgashev. Heading to his second career Grand Prix event, Torgashev has secured two top-10 finishes so far this year.

Three ice dance teams will skate for the stars and stripes.

Leah Neset and Artem Markelov will continue their debut season in the Grand Prix Series in Angers. The 2024 World Junior champions finished fifth on home soil at Skate America after finishing on the podium for the first time as seniors at Lombardia Trophy, where they claimed bronze.

Emily Bratti and Ian Somerville will compete for the second straight weekend and will look to improve upon their ninth-place finish at Skate Canada International. Earlier this season, they earned silver at 2024 Budapest Trophy.

Rounding out the ice dance entries for Team USA are Eva Pate and Logan Bye. The newly married couple goes into their first Grand Prix of the season with a pair of bronze medals from the Lake Placid Ice Dance International and Trophy Metropole Nice Cote d’Azur.

Competition begins Friday with the women’s short program, rhythm dance and the pairs and men’s short programs. Medals will be awarded in all four disciplines on the second day of competition.

Every skater will be streamed live on Peacock with all events available for 72 hours following their conclusion. Fans can also catch the competition on NBC at 12 p.m. ET on Sunday, Nov. 3.
