(NEXSTAR) - Figure skater Jason Brown is aiming to make his third Olympic team as the United States prepares for a strong showing at the Milan Cortina Games. Brown, who first competed in the 2014 Sochi Olympics, is part of a U.S. figure skating team that boasts reigning world champions in men's, women's, and ice dancing categories. The U.S. has historically excelled in Olympic figure skating, with American women winning 23 medals, including seven golds, and the men securing 16 medals. "It honestly starts with the love of the sport and that determination," Brown said, explaining his motivation to continue competing. "I feel that I have more to give and I have more that I want to explore when it comes to skating." Brown's free program is set to the song "Say Something," performed by Jacob Banks. He describes the performance as a journey of finding his voice and advocating for himself after more than 25 years in the sport. "I've gone through immense highs, numerous lows," Brown said, reflecting on his career. Brown has worked with choreographer Raheem Ward since he was ten years old, which has greatly influenced his artistic development. "We never played it safe when it came to genres or trying things," Brown noted, emphasizing the importance of artistic expression in his skating. The U.S. figure skating team is entering what Brown describes as a "golden era," with athletes like Ilia Malinin pushing technical boundaries. Malinin is known for his ambitious goal of performing seven quadruple jumps in a single routine, a feat Brown admires greatly. Brown acknowledges the challenges of competing against younger athletes but remains focused on his goals. "I am not thinking past February," he said, indicating his current focus on the upcoming Olympic season. All facts in this report were gathered by journalists employed by Nexstar.
