Born on November 13, 2007, in Chicago, Illinois, this Filipino-American skater has quickly risen through the ranks since starting his competitive career in 2019. Training at the Skokie Valley Skating Club under coaches Jeremy Allen and Denise Myers since 2022, Elano\u2019s journey reached a pinnacle in 2025 when he claimed the junior men\u2019s gold at the Prevagen U.S. Figure Skating Championships. With his graceful spins, seamless jumps, and emotive performances, Elano is a name to watch. This article dives into his story, achievements, and what makes him a standout in American figure skating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Breakthrough Season<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lorenzo Elano\u2019s 2024\u201325 season was a triumph, marked by consistent success. He earned medals at every domestic competition he entered, culminating in a gold medal at the 2025 U.S. Championships in Wichita, Kansas, on January 22. Scoring 202.65 points, he landed six triple jumps, four in combination, despite an early fall in his free skate to Philip Glass\u2019s \u201cMad Rush\u201d and \u201cThe Hours.\u201d His short program, set to \u201cEmpty Chairs at Empty Tables\u201d from&nbsp;<em>Les Mis\u00e9rables<\/em>, earned the highest program components score of 35.19, showcasing his artistry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elano also shone internationally, securing two medals at events in Nice, France, and Tilburg, Netherlands. His performance at the 2025 Challenge Cup in Tilburg included his first competitive triple Axel attempt, a bold step toward mastering this difficult jump. Reflecting on his U.S. Championships win, Elano said, \u201cIt wasn\u2019t my best performance&#8230; but I\u2019m happy with the outcome. I\u2019m most pleased that I kept going.\u201d His resilience and focus under pressure highlight his growth from placing 17th in 2023 and sixth in 2024 at the junior nationals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Lorenzo Elano Freeskate | US Junior Men National Champion | US Figure Skating championships\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/m9CJLSbolN8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u00a9 YouTube\/ Figure Skating Boys<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Artistry Rooted in Ballet and Mindfulness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elano\u2019s skating is defined by its elegance, with strong edge quality, fluid transitions, and captivating spins. His five years of ballet training as a young skater honed his movement quality, which he credits for his expressive style. \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.goldenskate.com\/usas-lorenzo-elano-makes-his-mark-with-artistry-and-ambition\/\">Ballet helped with my movement quality<\/a>,\u201d he shared, noting that his choreographer, Tommy Steenberg, emphasizes body awareness in his routines. Steenberg\u2019s choice of \u201cEmpty Chairs at Empty Tables\u201d for Elano\u2019s short program was initially seen as mature, but Elano grew to connect deeply with its emotional weight, especially after the tragic loss of skating community members in the January 29, 2025, American Airlines Flight 5342 crash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Steenberg praised Elano\u2019s authenticity, saying, \u201cThere is something incredibly genuine in his delivery of movement and his connection to the audience.\u201d This connection resonated at nationals, where Elano bonded with fellow skater Franco Aparicio, a victim of the crash, who admired his short program. Elano\u2019s decision to keep the program for the 2025\u201326 season reflects its personal significance. For his new free skate, Elano and Steenberg selected three pieces by composer Abel Korzeniowski, aiming to showcase \u201cinnovative patterns, angles, and new transitions\u201d with a mysterious, ethereal vibe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Supportive Foundation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elano\u2019s success is bolstered by a tight-knit support system. His parents and grandmother, regular fixtures at his competitions, cheer him on with enthusiasm. \u201cThey\u2019re very supportive and less reserved,\u201d Elano said, noting their presence feels normal and grounding. His coaches, Allen and Myers, instilled confidence during the nerve-wracking moments before his championship free skate, urging him to \u201cfocus and trust my training.\u201d The moment he learned he\u2019d won, hearing his coaches call his name in the locker room, was surreal: \u201cIt really hasn\u2019t hit me yet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a Filipino-American, Elano\u2019s cultural roots enrich his life off the ice. With most of his extended family in the Philippines, he enjoys traditional Filipino dishes like chicken adobo with white rice and tocino, a sweet cured pork dish. These meals, shared with family, keep him connected to his heritage. His Chicago upbringing and training at Skokie Valley Skating Club ground him in a community that has nurtured his rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Life Beyond the Rink<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A junior at Acellus Academy, Elano balances skating with school, excelling in biology and psychology. In his limited free time, he enjoys dancing\u2014favoring hip hop, modern, and contemporary styles\u2014and listening to pop, R&amp;B, or hip hop and rap before competitions to get energized. \u201cWhen I\u2019m at home, I usually do schoolwork or watch YouTube,\u201d he said, often tuning into vlogs or skating videos. As an only child, he cherishes time with friends and family, leaving little room for hobbies like gaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elano draws inspiration from U.S. figure skating star Jason Brown, admiring his focus on artistry and skating for personal fulfillment. \u201cYou can tell he does this for himself, and no one else,\u201d Elano said. His teammate Alexa Gasparotto, who recently landed a triple Axel, also motivates him to push his technical boundaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Looking Ahead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elano\u2019s goals for the 2025\u201326 season are ambitious. He\u2019s working to perfect his triple Axel, which he attempted at the Challenge Cup, and is training quad Salchow and quad toe jumps. Moving to senior-level domestic competitions, he aims to qualify for the 2026 U.S. Championships, a challenging but exciting prospect. Named an alternate for the 2025 World Junior Championships in Boston, Elano is poised for further international exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite his junior championship title, Elano feels no pressure, only excitement. \u201cI feel excited to debut this upcoming season,\u201d he said, backed by his coaches, family, and a growing fanbase. Social media posts from fans on platforms like Reddit praise his musicality and spins, with one noting, \u201cI love how he uses his entire body to move&#8230; Even the details of his fingertips during spins are chef\u2019s kiss.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Bright Future<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lorenzo Elano\u2019s journey is one of passion, perseverance, and cultural pride. From his Chicago roots to his gold-medal moment in Wichita, he\u2019s proving that artistry and ambition can shine on the ice. With a tragic loss shaping his perspective and a supportive team guiding him, Elano is carving a unique path in figure skating. As he prepares for senior competitions and technical milestones, this 17-year-old is a rising star to cheer for, bringing grace, grit, and heart to every performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By Vitalina Andrushchenko, Staff Writer<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At just 17, Lorenzo Elano is capturing hearts and medals in the world of figure skating, blending artistry, determination, and a deep connection to his craft.
