The 2019-2020 ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Series kicked off with its first event, 2019 Skate America, in Las Vegas this past weekend. U.S. figure skaters captured five medals total – two golds, two silvers, one bronze – in front of a packed home crowd.
Two-time world champion Nathan Chen highlighted the U.S. performances, earning his third consecutive Skate America win - the first in 22 years to do so - and winning by a record 44-point margin. This is also Chen's seventh individual gold medal in a row since finishing fifth at the Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018.
Jason Brown earned silver to mark the seventh season in a row he has medaled at a grand prix.
The ice dance duo of Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohue won gold for the second year in a row, continuing an 11-year trend of U.S. ice dance teams winning the competition.
In a competition where women's gold medalist Anna Shcherbakova of Russia became the first woman to compete two quadruple jumps, Bradie Tennell earned silver for her best grand prix finish, while Haven Denney and Brandon Frazier took bronze in pairs - their first grand prix medal in three years.
