Figure Skating Nationals Moving From San Jose To Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The U.S. Figure Skating Championships are being moved from San Jose, California to Las Vegas.

The national federation said Monday the switch was based partly on the successful bubble environment used for Skate America last month at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas.

San Jose will now get the 2023 nationals, while the 2022 event, which serves as the Olympic trials, will be in Nashville.
