193440-2020 US Championships Program.indd 5 1/6/20 1:13 PM Welcome to Greensboro!

We are excited to welcome you to the 2020 TOYOTA U.S. Figure Skating Championships in Greensboro, . It is exciting to return to Greensboro for the first time since 2015 and for the third time in the past decade. We have made great memories here and look forward to creating more.

Over the next six days, the top skaters in the will compete for titles in ladies, men’s, pairs and at the junior and championship levels. All of these athletes have accomplished so much just by qualifying to be here and their hard work does not go unnoticed.

We wish all of the competitors the best as they strive to stand atop the podium in Greensboro. We are excited to select our World and Four Continents teams and continue the process of choosing our World Junior team here in the Tar Heel State. These top athletes will continue to represent the United States in prestigious international competitions throughout the spring.

We are also thrilled to host the inaugural National High Performance Development Camp in Indian Trail, North Carolina, at the conclusion of the competition. At this three-day camp, the top juvenile, intermediate and novice skaters from across the country will receive on- and off-ice instruction, attend educational classes and participate in competition simulations. Before the camp, these stars of tomorrow will have an opportunity to watch their senior-level counterparts compete in Greensboro.

Millions of fans from around the United States will be able to watch our athletes compete live on NBC, NBCSN and NBC Sports Gold. This event would not be possible without support from all of our partners.

We are so appreciative of the local community for their unparalleled support and Southern hospitality. I especially want to thank all of our local figure skating clubs and the volunteers for the many hours they have given to help make the 2020 U.S. Championships a huge success.

U.S. Figure Skating is proud to be the national governing body for the sport of figure skating in the United States, and we will continue our commitment to make figure skating a sport to be enjoyed by all.

I hope everyone enjoys this year’s competition and we wish good luck to all of the athletes competing.

Sincerely,

Anne Cammett President, U.S. Figure Skating

WELCOME TO GREENSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA

As you watch incredible performances from the country’s best figure skaters over the next few days, we encourage you to think about the long journey they have taken to compete here. The path to perfection does not come overnight; it takes a love of the sport, an incredible support system and the drive to constantly improve, every single day.

As a mobility company, Toyota believes that when a person is free to move, anything is possible — including facing challenges and chasing dreams. The athletes you’ll see on the ice truly embody this belief, and is one of the many reasons why we’re happy to support them and be a part of the 2020 TOYOTA U.S. Figure Skating Championships.

We applaud everyone who will compete in this week’s U.S. Championships and everyone who has helped them on their journey. They remind us all that with passion and perseverance, nothing is really impossible.

SportsTravel magazine named the 2015 U.S. Championships “Sports Event of the Year” and “Best Amateur Multi-Sport or Multi-Discipline Event.” “For the fan and athlete, the friendliness of the volunteers [recruited by the Greensboro Sports Foundation] gives them the feeling that someone is going to address my problem, if there is one,” Carrow said. After the 2015 event, Kim Strable of the Greensboro Sports Commission said, “Most of the athletes, coaches, officials and U.S. Figure Skating staff were receptive to how we do things. We like to make eye contact, we like to be friendly, we like to be engaging if they want to be engaged. From what I could see, things were mutual.”

GETTING INVOLVED IN U.S. FIGURE SKATING No matter what age or skill level you are, there is a program for you. The mission of U.S. Figure Skating is to provide programs to encourage participation and achievement in the sport of figure skating. Check out the opportunities listed here and see how you can get involved in this wonderful activity. Visit www.usfigureskating.org for more information.

LEARN TO SKATE USA Here you are, watching the best of the best at the 2020 TOYOTA U.S. Figure Skating Championships. Maybe you’re even thinking, “I could do that, too.” Well, you definitely can. U.S. Figure Skating has just the program to start you on the road to lifelong fun. The Learn to Skate USA powered by Toyota program (formerly Basic Skills) was introduced in 1968 to encourage ice skating at all levels and enhance the quality of ice skating techniques. It is designed to be the best beginning ice skating program that meets the needs of both the competitive and recreational skater. All skaters, child and adult, recreational and competitive, figure skaters, hockey players and speed skaters, need to learn the basics before branching out into different disciplines. The Learn to Skate USA program teaches skating from the first steps on the ice. You can continue up the ranks in the program to improve your technique and have fun, or to prepare yourself for a competitive career in ice skating. Getting involved is easy. A number of rinks in your area have Learn to Skate USA programs. If you’re interested in becoming a Learn to Skate USA member, go to LearnToSkateUSA.com.

SYNCHRONIZED SKATING Sixteen skaters on the ice, all gliding and turning, performing elements in unison, in the same costumes with exciting themes running throughout — sound cool? It’s synchronized skating, a highly technical form of team skating characterized by speed, accuracy, intricate formations and transitions. In 2019, approximately 9,000 synchronized skating athletes on 615 teams were registered with U.S. Figure Skating. Synchronized skating provides figure skaters with the opportunity to participate in a team sport and gives more skaters a chance to compete at sectional and national levels. Teams compete in nonqualifying events as well as qualifying events that culminate with the U.S. Synchronized Skating Championships. In addition, U.S. Figure Skating annually selects 10 to 15 junior and senior teams, with 20 athletes per team to represent the United States at international competitions, including the ISU World Junior Synchronized Skating Championships 2020 in Nottingham, Great Britain, and the ISU World Synchronized Skating Championships 2020 in Lake Placid, New York. The 2020 U.S. Synchronized Skating Championships will take place in Providence, .

The adult structure allows skaters of various skill levels and ages to continue to test and compete against peers of similar skating abilities. Adults who are new to the sport, as well as those who competed as children, have a place in adult skating competitions. The 2020 U.S. Adult Figure Skating Championships are slated for April 14–18 in Newark, Delaware. It will mark the 26th anniversary of the U.S. Adult Championships.

MEMORIAL FUND On Feb. 15, 1961, Sabena Flight 548 crashed outside of . Carrying the entire U.S. World Figure Skating Team to the World Figure Skating Championships, no one survived. It was a terrible tragedy and it left an indelible mark on the sport. It was the year the U.S. Figure Skating Memorial Fund was established. A living endowment to benefit future skaters, the mission of the Memorial Fund is twofold: to honor the 1961 World Team and to provide skaters of all ages with financial resources to pursue their goals both on and off the ice. Committed to awarding athletic and academic grants and scholarships to athletes who show competitive and/or academic excellence, the Memorial Fund awards more than $500,000 each year. Disbursed through three initiatives: the Competitive Skaters Assistance Programs (CSAP), the Academic Scholarship Program (ASP) and the RISE Youth Essay Contest, the U.S. Figure Skating Memorial Fund has provided more than $15 million in financial assistance over the past 58 years. It has supported Olympic champions including Peggy Fleming, Brian Boitano, Scott Hamilton, Kristi Yamaguchi and . This year more than 150 athletes received funding through its programs. To learn more about the Memorial Fund and how you can support it, stop by the U.S. Figure Skating booth on the concourse or visit www.1961memorialfund.com.

OTHER PROGRAMS In addition to the programs listed, U.S. Figure Skating offers various other programs, including Theatre On Ice, National Showcase, High School Team Competitions, Graduating Seniors Program, Solo Dance, State Games, Test Track, Collegiate, Special Olympics and Therapeutic Skating.

BY JENNIFER CALVERT Since winning the silver medal at the 1992 Olympic Winter Games in Albertville, France, Paul Wylie has become one of the sport’s most passionate ambassadors. The Harvard graduate spent the past 13 years in North Carolina, where he coached skaters of all levels at Extreme Ice Center in Indian Trail. His reputation as an Olympian, renowned coach, broadcast commentator, consultant and spokesperson made him the easy choice to once again serve as the honor- ary chairman of the 2020 TOYOTA U.S. Fig- ure Skating Championships in Greensboro. “I love the hometown feel when Greensboro hosts the event,” said Wylie, who also served as honorary chairman in 2011 and 2015. “The athletes are primarily in one hotel, which builds community, and the volunteers go beyond in customer service.” Wylie will skate in the opening ceremo- ny, deliver a welcome address and interact with fans and sponsors. He plans on being at all the performances, including the Skat- ing Spectacular on the event’s final day. Wylie loves to spend quality time with his family near his wife’s former home on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, The U.S. Championships, he said, are and at their current residence in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Wylie, she said, helped generate enthu- siasm at the rink and undoubtedly inspired many young skaters. “He traveled a lot but he would just go out and offer to teach a Learn to Skate class,” Logano said. “The kids would be like, ‘Oh, wow!, It’s Paul.’ One time for National Skating Month, he brought his Olympic medal and that was a big hit with the kids.” LOOKING BACK While Wylie’s list of accomplishments is remarkable by anyone’s standards — he’s a five-time U.S. medalist, a World Junior champion, a Worlds competitor, two-time Olympian and a star of traveling ice show tours — it’s his silver medal at the 1992 Olympics and 2007 induction into the U.S. Figure Skating Hall of Fame that still give him pause. His Olympic performance in Albertville, he said, was unexpected, based on previ- ous disappointments at the World and U.S. Championships. The Dallas native, though, rose to the occasion on the sport’s biggest stage, delivering two strong and compelling performances. “I remember the audience on their feet and that feeling of exhilaration for over- coming those hurdles,” Wylie said. Wylie keeps the silver medal in a safe, but said he has no idea what happened to his Olympic free skate costume. “Seeing my name under [Russian great] Victor Petrenko was a pinch-me mo- ment,” he said.
