Nathan Chen and Yuzuru Hanyu compete one last time this season, but this time it’s for their countries at World Team Trophy, live on Peacock Premium this week from Osaka, Japan.

The U.S. won the last title in 2019, but Russia is the favorite, boasting reigning world champions in women’s singles, pairs and ice dance.
