The top figure skaters from the 2026 Winter Olympics performed one last time at the Games during the exhibition gala on Saturday.
Americans Ilia Malinin, Alysa Liu, Amber Glenn and ice dance team Madison Chock and Evan Bates were among the stars that delivered stellar final skates while others performed more light-hearted routines, including Kazakhstan's Mikhail Shaidorov, who took the ice in his iconic panda suit.
There was no judging and there were no medals on the line, just another opportunity for these superb skaters to entertain as they have done throughout the Milan Cortina Games.
