The Storylines That Will Make You Smile, Laugh, or Cry During the Olympics

Gymnastics and figure skating are two Olympic fan favorites, and this year the Winter Games are taking a cue from the Summer Games. For the first time, there will be a team competition, pitting country against country for what promises to be a dramatic battle.

Each nation's team consists of six figure skaters. One male skater, one female skater, one pair team, and one ice dance team will be chosen to participate in the team event — we're sure appropriately named skater Gracie Gold, pictured above, hopes to make Team USA. After skaters compete in the women's, men’s, pairs, and ice dance programs, totals scores from each will be added together for the national team score, and a winner will be crowned.
