FROM “DON’T KICK ME OUT OF THE OLYMPIC VILLAGE” TO A NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE RACE… Team USA star Isabeau Levito made her debut at the 2026 Winter Olympics, but her path to a medal is fraught with challenges. Finishing 8th out of 29 in the short program (70.84 points), Levito needs a spectacular performance in the free skate – along with some missteps from her competitors – to create a miracle. Meanwhile, the race for gold is leaning toward Kaori Sakamoto, with Ami Nakai and teammate Alysa Liu close behind.

A medal may be out of reach… but for Levito, the Olympic dream is already a victory.
