Olympic figure skating fans will now get the chance to see their favorite athletes perform at the XL Center in Hartford.
The “Stars on Ice” tour will feature the U.S. Olympic Figure Skating Team performing in person, right after they competed for medals in Beijing, China.
The list of performers includes Olympic gold medalist Nathan Chen; who attends Yale University; Olympic bronze medalists Madison Hubbell and Connecticut native Zachary Donohue, of Madison; World silver medalists Madison Chock and Evan Bates; and more. See the full list here.
“So, Ms. Hubbell, it seems that you have a trust issue here,” said Hubbell’s ice dance partner Donohue.
