U.S. National Figure Skating Championships: The Bay Area will be without a headliner, who to watch?
SAN JOSE — The Bay Area has a long and rich history of figure skating stars from Peggy Fleming and Kristi Yamaguchi to Brian Boitano and Rudy Galindo. But when the US. National Figure Skating Championships begin this week in San Jose, the most recognizable local name will be the event site.
You’d have figured Alysa Liu to be here this week, but the Richmond teen abruptly retired after the 2022 Olympics. Karen Chen, the Fremont native who won silver as part of Team USA in 2022, hasn’t participated in recent events as she focuses on her studies at Cornell University. Vincent Zhou, an Olympian born in San Jose and reared in Palo Alto, is studying at Brown University.
In other words, Edmonds said, under immense pressure of competition, you have to be able to land any jump. A simple concept for the observer, but a mental and physical hurdle for skaters. It was just one instance in which Edmonds felt the special bond that comes with being a Bay Area-born skater. Edmunds, who post-retirement started a podcast focused on the world of figure skating, highlighted a few Bay Area natives not competing to keep an eye on. Mia Kalin, a 14-year-old figure skater from Oakland, competes for Team USA but won’t participate in Nationals.
