Why U.S. Figure Skating Champs Can't Compete at Olympics After Seeking "Last-Minute Miracle" Open in Eonline.com
Highlights
  • Efimova isn't an American citizen, delaying her Olympic eligibility with Mitrofanov despite their national results.
  • The U.S. Olympic selections for Milan chose Kam/O'Shea and Chan/Howe over Efimova/Mitrofanov, leaving the pair off the team despite their nationals bid.
  • Mitrofanov is a U.S. citizen by birth, but Efimova was born in Finland and began citizenship steps after moving to the U.S. in 2023, complicating their Olympic bid.
