Japan’s Ami Nakai surges into Olympic lead after short program as US struggles at the Winter Games
MILAN (AP) — Ami Nakai and Japanese teammate Kaori Sakamoto upstaged Alysa Liu and the rest of the “Blade Angels” on Tuesday night. Nakai rode her opening triple axel to a career-best 78.71 points in her short program at the Milan Cortina Olympics,
Alysa Liu finished the night in third place, Isabeau Levito finished in eighth and Amber Glenn is in 13th place after a popped jump. That puts extra pressure on all of them for Thursday's medal event.
Only USA's Alysa Liu broke up Japan's trio of Ami Nakai, Kaori Sakamoto and Mone Chiba, who finished first, second and fourth after the short program.
The individual women’s Olympic figure skating competition begins on Tuesday, February 17, with the “Blade Angels” representing Team USA at the Milan-Cortina Games. Alysa Liu, Amber Glenn, and Isabeau Levito are representing the United States in the individual event.

With the team competition starting first, the physical and emotional cost can ripple right on through into the individual ones.
