Mirai Nagasu, Bradie Tennell and Karen Chen have patiently waited to showcase their talents in the women's figure skating event at the 2018 Winter Olympics to those back home in the United States.
The trio of Americans and the rest of the competitors in figure skating's final event finally take the ice for the short program Tuesday night at the Gangneung Ice Arena in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
While the Americans have the opportunity to impress, the competition is expected to be a duel between Russian skaters Evgenia Medvedeva and Alina Zagitova.
Medvedeva, Zagitova, Nagasu, Tennell and Canada's Gabrielle Daleman and Kaetlyn Osmond come into the women's competition as medalists from the team event that was won by Canada.
