US Figure Skating Team’s First Pitch at Mets Game Fails

The U.S. figure skating team made a less-than-stellar appearance throwing the first pitch at the Mets game, following their gold medal win in the 2026 Winter Olympics. Their attempts were chaotic, with skaters Ellie Kam and Danny O’Shea missing the target, and Ilia Malinin’s throw being dropped by Andrew Torgashev. Amber Glenn’s pitch also sailed over its intended recipient, while Evan Gates managed the only successful throw to Jason Brown. The Mets’ game mirrored the disarray, resulting in a 5-4 loss to the Nationals amid ongoing struggles for the team.
