Olympic dreams on hold for US pairs champs

Alisa Efimova and Misha Mitrofanov, two-time US pairs skating champions, just missed out on the Olympics—not because of their performance, but due to citizenship rules. Efimova, despite skating under the American flag, isn’t yet a US citizen, so the duo can’t compete in Milan. Their story highlights how paperwork can sideline even the best athletes. Still, they’re staying positive, focusing on upcoming competitions and hoping for a shot at the 2030 Games. What do you think—should citizenship rules be more flexible for athletes representing their adopted countries? #Sports #FigureSkating #Olympics
