SAN JOSE, Calif. -- The 2018 U.S. men's Olympic figure skating team will be Nathan Chen, Vincent Zhou and Adam Rippon.

Ross Miner, the second-place finisher Saturday night at the U.S. national championships, was dropped in an intricate selection process that includes criteria of competitions both past and present. Miner was named the second alternate. The first alternate is Jason Brown, who finished sixth at nationals.

The decision, announced Sunday morning by U.S. Figure skating, was made in a committee meeting after the event. 

In an ironic twist, Miner's coach, Mark Mitchell, lost a 1992 Olympic slot when he finished third at those nationals, good enough for an Olympic berth, but was knocked off the team when the previously injured Todd Eldredge was sent to Albertville in his place. 

Paris and ice dancing selections will be announced later Sunday. 

The Pyeongchang Winter Games open Feb. 9. Chen will be among those favored for the gold medal.
