Reply to comment by GucciGuano in Levito wins first U.S. women's figure skating title by IslandChillin

US has tons of champions at both Worlds and Olympics, the highest titles in the sport. It was this girls first National title at the Senior level (highest level of competition)

The thing she won is given out every year. It's like winning the game that lets you go to the World Series, or the Super Bowl, if you want to give it an easy sporting equivalent.

it’s the national championships so it’s her first US nationals win

there hasn’t been a world champion from the US women’s since 2006 but the american alysa liu did win bronze at the 2022 world championships last year

Yeah, it's been a drought for sure.

Still, I would be shocked if the US didn't have the most all time medals between World and Olympic events for the Women. It's a pretty storied history.
