Meryl Davis & Charlie White Will Not Compete at 2018 Olympics

This makes our hearts break — Meryl Davis and Charlie White will not be competing at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics next year.

The 2014 Ice Dance Olympic champions have made the decision not to return to the Olympic ice in South Korea next year and made the announcement this morning.

“I hate to be a little bit of a downer maybe for our fans, but we’ve decided not to compete at the Olympics,” Charlie shared on Today after skating at Rockefeller Center.

Meryl added, “It was one that took us three years to come up with. We gave ourselves a lot of time. With the ability to explore what we really felt, I think we’re really happy with that decision.”

While we’re sad they won’t be on the ice at the Olympics next year, they’re not completely saying goodbye.

This spring, Meryl and Charlie will be on the Stars on Ice tour.
