Olympics figure skating live updates: Pairs begin with short program

MILAN — Figure skating is more than halfway done at the 2026 Winter Olympics, with the pairs next to take the ice in Milano Cortina.
The U.S. will have two teams competing on Sunday, Feb. 15, with team gold medalists Danny O'Shea and Ellie Kam, as well as Spencer Akira Howe and Emily Chan. While Team USA boasts top contenders in nearly every figure skating discipline, it's not necessarily the strongest in pairs. Team USA hasn't won a medal in pairs since 1988, and while that doesn't appear it will be broken in 2026, there has been plenty of figure skating surprises throughout the Games, and more could be in store.
USA TODAY Sports has live coverage of results and highlights for the pairs' short program:
