2026 US Nationals Free Dance "Nix You"

[Matryeshka]

Why does Alysa have two razors on her shower wall??

The real question is, why doesn't everyone?

I like a lot of the teams above the Browns, but if this was a fairly scored event, they would be going to Milan and no one can convince me otherwise. They have THE combined programs of this season among the American skaters.

OMG I LOVE THE BROWN'S GODFATHER PROGRAM. They really capture the spirit of the movie with great cuts. AND THEY HAVE DANCE HOLDS! So inventive and my favorite free dance so far tonighr!

 

[Citlali]

Oona and Gage

 

[purple skates]

Browns

 

[terisa]

LOL Madison is already in character walking the halls...

 

[canbelto]

I think I get it: Tara loves her mattress.

 

[Andora]

This is one of the best-choreographed Ice Dances of the year.

What in the Temu is this Godfather program?

God bless this thread

I love the Browns - I'm glad they're causing such strong emotions

 

[peibeck]

Gage Brown laying on the ice and Oona's standing over him with a smirk was a Gilles/Pointer tribute that I lived for.

LOL Madison is already in character walking the halls...

So if Madison is in character and Gage is in character and they find themselves walking directly towards each other, what happens?

 

[clairecloutier]

Love how the Browns’ Godfather program really feels like true partner dancing, with lots of holds. My husband was saying you could picture this happening at a traditional Italian wedding, or something. Wonderful program for them!

 

[AYS]

That was an out of body fantastic performance for the Browns. Brilliant

 

[thvu]

The Browns! So glad I got to see that in person!

He bows, steps to the side, and then stabs her in the back.

The announcer said so during the warmup. It's curious, given that he isn't originally from Russia.

I have followed P/B for a while. They fell in love! And she is good with social media so I have seen some fun things she has posted about their marriage as well as their skating. She is very emotional.
I don't understand all the chatter about skating couples marrying. But I am older. We got married young in my day, 18 years old was when you grew up and started adulting. I understand it is not that way anymore, not by far.
I will not say anything negative about married skaters. I think it's lovely. I don't look for ulterior motives.

 

[just tuned in]

If this were truly Peacock and not NBC, we could have been watching the Browns take their bows and replays of that masterpiece.

 

[Matryeshka]

Gabby zipped her pants. That was very vexing. I can now enjoy the final group. Except B/S.

 

[MacMadame]

Update: Okay, I’m clearly not understanding something about this free dance.

It helps if you know he is Michael and she is Connie, his sister. (In one of the movies Connie tries to kill Michael.)

 

[Allen]

I wish they would show the video of Johnny falling in the lake from The Traitors (he was fine)

 

[ilovepaydays]

My husband gets so offended when people skate to this because the film is so sacred to him. That scene in Barbie with the Ken watching Godfather really spoke to me.

Many people consider The Godfather to be the greatest film of all time and the Godfather Part II to be the best sequel ever.

 

[Vagabond]

Love how the Browns’ Godfather program really feels like true partner dancing, with lots of holds. My husband was saying you could picture this happening at a traditional Italian wedding, or something.

Ideally, with a different ending, though.

 

[PRlady]

We wuzrobbed of Browns getting their marks.

 

[kwanfan1818]

Some people think it's the only sequel to surpass the original.

 

[slicekw]

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.

 

[overedge]

Just came over from Canadians to see Johnny wearing a giant charred marshmallow on his head.

Like wtf? I was like did my feed mess up? A team getting a standing ovation and it just fades out and skips their marks completely???

 

[Badams]

I really like Gabriella as a commentator.

 

[Skaterbob]

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.

Don't blame Japan in any way for Johnny Weir!

 

[marbri]

I'm indifferent to the Browns but that FD is brilliantly choreographed. Never underestimate the importance of a well conceived FD, one of the best this season.

But so would mine, and I'm wearing a Black Watch plaid flannel shirt

Yet another reason to watch the Japanese stream.
