U.S. Figure Skating Hall of Famer Tara Lipinski is an NBC Olympics’ figure skating analyst and joins three-time U.S. national champion Johnny Weir and play-by-play commentator Terry Gannon on the network’s lead team.

Lipinski, the youngest individual gold medalist in the history of the Olympic Winter Games (15 years old at the 1998 Nagano Olympics), made her debut as lead analyst for Olympic figure skating at the 2018 PyeongChang Olympics alongside Gannon and Weir.

In March 2025, The Boston Globe wrote: “Lipinski and Weir always do it right on the broadcasts. Their candor and banter make viewers feel like they’re invited to listen in on an authentic conversation between incredibly knowledgeable friends.”

Weir, Gannon, and Lipinski first received critical acclaim for their commentary on NBC’s live figure skating coverage at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, which helped the network post the 10 best weekday daytime audiences in its history. Later that year, they were named NBC Sports Group’s lead figure skating announce team.

Lipinski won a Sports Emmy as part of NBCUniversal’s coverage of the 2024 Paris Olympics, which was honored as Outstanding Live Special – Championship Event.
