No American woman has won an individual figure skating medal since Sasha Cohen’s silver in 2006. Sarah Hughes won gold and Michelle Kwan claimed bronze four years before that. The Blade Angels have only one combined Olympic appearance between them — Liu in 2022 — but together, they’ve amassed an impressive array of world and national championships.
