2026 US Nationals Gala/Olympic Team Announcement

[Wyliefan]

Johnny just called Andrea the cruise director.

 

[terisa]

The buildup is making me hope that they're saving a last-minute HUGE announcement?

 

[MacMadame]

For the time, this isn't a typical gala with 1st-4th plus featured skaters plus some local exhibitions. So it shouldn't be too much over. (These almost always go over by a bit.)

For who? We already have it confirmed that Efimova didn't get citizenship, so the only suspense left in this announcement show is who between Chan/Howe & Shin/Nagy.

 

[beckab81]

I'm guessing Ilia will be the final announcement since he's the best bet for gold.

 

[Wyliefan]

And Liu.

And Chan/Howe.

 

[OrioleBeagle]

Josh Groban! Excellent music choice!

 

[Karen-W]

YES!!!! Emily and Spencer!!!!!! So happy for them!!!!!

 

[PRlady]

Well, congrats to Chan/Howe and their supporters, they’re the luckiest of the team.

 

[skateycat]

Awww... couldn't they say anything more about Chan and Howe than that?

 

[beckab81]

Massive comeback from skating in the first group to making the Olympic team. Glad they're getting this opportunity, especially with how well they did mid-quad.

 

[SidelineSkater]

That was a nice program from C/H, aside from the silly costume reveal.

 

[just tuned in]

Emily to Piper: "Hold my beer."

Piper says no.

 

[PRlady]

Did they really just miss the spin in an exhibition?

I’m going to bed.

 

[Karen-W]

That was a really lovely exhibition from Chan/Howe.

Now, let's hope that Emily's boyfriend can get the job done next week at Euros! We need to see them together in Milano-Cortina!

Maybe she'd skate better without the hot distraction?

Well, there are only 4 more announcements, so I'm guessing another 48 minutes.
