2026 Olympic Games: Team Event Preview

The Runthrough

About this episode

What is the Team event and how did we get here? We break down potential strategies we will expect to see from the countries competing, and try to predict just what will happen in figure skating's newest event. In this preview, we break down the team event at the Winter Olympics, how it works, how teams decide who skates, and where points can be gained or lost. From lineup strategy to emotional carryover between events, this is what to watch as countries battle not just for medals, but for confidence heading into the individual competitions. Whether you’re new to the team format or tracking medal contenders, this preview explains why the team event can shape the entire Olympic figure skating narrative.
