who are the figure skating commentators

For current English‑language Olympic figure skating coverage in early 2026, the main TV team most viewers are hearing is:

  • Terry Gannon – play‑by‑play/lead commentator for figure skating at the 2026 Winter Olympics for NBC in the U.S.
  • Tara Lipinski – lead analyst, 1998 Olympic ladies’ gold medalist, long‑time part of NBC’s figure skating booth.
  • Johnny Weir – lead analyst, three‑time U.S. champion, Tara’s on‑air partner since Sochi 2014, returning again for 2026.
  • Andrea Joyce – rinkside/reporter for figure skating and short track speed skating at the 2026 Games.

Outside the U.S., there are other feeds and crews; for example, a widely discussed international/world‑feed pairing for Olympic figure skating is Belinda Noonan and Olly Hogben , who are handling figure skating commentary on a global feed that some countries pick up rather than using their own national commentators.
