2026 US Nationals Free Dance "Nix You"

[Wyliefan]

Speaking of being in character, Anthony's already got his murder face on.

So if Prevagen is “for your brain,” would it be of maximal benefit to a zombie, since said zombie takes in many brains?

Yet another reason to watch the Japanese stream.

Not sure I would want to be cruising through Europe on a vessel run by AMERICAN Cruise Lines right about now....

Gabi’s understated elegance (leather skirt in oxblood with chartreuse off-the-shoulder top) completely blows away Johnny’s Japanese-influenced suit and overly ratted pompadour hairpiece.

I love Gabi’s whole look—casual glamour.

Oh, I just knew that Johnny would find an opportunity to say Nureyev's name and show off his Russian pronunciation skills

I have the same visceral reaction to Bratti/Somerville that I have to Madison Chock. I just have this insane dislike of this pair for no particular reason. I can't tell you why. I no longer, btw, have that same reaction to Madison. I am now at mild disdain but also respect their abilities and am at peace with their winning ways. This probably guarantees they'll be National champions next year

 

[canbelto]

Ouch that move looks like it really hurts his hands.

 

[Karen-W]

That was really lovely from BraSom!

 

[kwanfan1818]

Bratti is so gentle and clear in her transitions between positions and shapes.

 

[my little pony]

Emily's O face looks like mouth breathing to me

 

[peibeck]

B/S beautiful but a come down after the Browns. Lovely edges but very emotionally muted.

 

[overedge]

Did I miss when face touching came back into choreographic style? I thought it disappeared about 20 years ago.

 

[beckab81]

B/S will lead thanks to their lead in the RD, but should go behind the Brown's in the Free. Much improved from the fall season though.

 

[SidelineSkater]

White Crow or Blue Peacock?

 

[LilJen]

Speaking of being in character, Anthony's already got his murder face on.

Yeah… stay away from Anthony, Madison and Gage. And maybe Oona, too.

 

[PRlady]

That was much better than I remember from their GP. Well, I guess they and the Browns get to duke it out again at 4Cs.

 

[her grace]

Bratti/Somerville

Beautiful skating with nice edge work. I want to see them skate to something more original which would show us who they are as a team next season. Mini-grace notes that their arms aren’t soft and balletic enough for this music

 

[Matryeshka]

I love Gabi’s whole look—casual glamour.

Yes. Which is why the zipper was so bothersome It's such a great look--so Euro chic. I wish I could pull of that combo, but I'd imagine you have to be French to do.

 

[Wyliefan]

Of all the things I did not need to see today, a singing navel is right at the top of the list.

Oh good grief. I can't stand it.

 

[Matryeshka]

YESSSS...come on....shock podium placement. LET'S GO (to Milan).

 

[canbelto]

That's a cool rotational lift from Green/Parsons.

 

[clairecloutier]

So proud of Emily & Ian for coming back so strong after the horror start to the season they had. That was lovely!

Johnny, don't contradict your fellow commentator.

 

[ilovesalchows]

I am very sad G/P never got to go to the Olympics.

 

[Wyliefan]

"We have microphones embedded in the ice and you can hear nothing" is such a weird thing to say.
