Meet Team USA Figure Skating: Christina Carreira & Anthony Ponomarenko

In the next episode of Meet Team USA Figure Skating (Frozen Waters), a special mini-series from Unfiltered Waters, Katie sits down with Christina Carreira and Anthony Ponomarenko, ice dance partners who have navigated one of the most challenging and transformative seasons of their careers. Christina and Anthony reflect on the emotional toll of uncertainty, including Christina’s journey to U.S. citizenship, and what it took to stay grounded while chasing an Olympic dream that felt anything but guaranteed. They open up about mental health, stepping away from toxic noise, building trust through honest communication, and the rituals that help them center themselves before competition. Warm, candid, and full of humor, this conversation continues the heart of Frozen Waters—a closer look at the journeys, identities, and inner lives of Team USA figure skaters on the road to the Games.
