UCCS’ Kam, O’Shea earn personal best score, help USA win Olympic gold in team figure skating event

Current UCCS student Ellie Kam and UCCS alum Danny O’Shea competed Sunday in the pairs’ free skate in the team event at the 2026 Winter Olympics and delivered what USA Figure Skating said was their “finest-ever free skate.” The performance came two days after Ellie fell in the pairs’ short program portion. The pair are just two of the numerous Olympians and Paralympians to have attended UCCS.
