2026 U.S. Nationals Practice Reports

Oh I LOVE Bradie's new dress - absolutely gorgeous on her and very fitting for The Mission
The beading is like a religious icon called a Monstrance for those not versed in catholic imagery. She looks tense and is shaking her head. She is marking her program.

She is singing along with the music...beautiful Ina Bauer extended. This is a very lovely program on her now. Good luck tomorrow night.

 

[labgoat]

Sarah is so very well trained and you can feel how much she wants this. She has done everything she possibly can to prepare herself to do well.

Isabeau comes out and marks her opening moves. She moves so fluidly and elegantly with great emotion. I can see Sarah watching intently at the boards. Polina points out her strong body of work is so strong.

Did Alyssa change her free skating program outfit?
I like it . It looks nice

It may be three way race between Isabeau, Sarah & Bradie.
In my heart I hope for Isabeau, Bradie and Sarah.

New Gaga program - new dress - it works for me

The electricity from last night still applies to practice.

Wow Amber looks great. Don't leave it here on practice. Good stop and pause.

 

[labgoat]

Amber just needs to remind herself the end goal here is to make the Olympic team not necessarily to win. Once that hurdle is cleared a certain relief will be gained and then you can pause and begin the work for the next peak.

Really impressed that Wolf/Tsar are wasting no time and squeezing as much work as possible. They seem to have a list of items to do. Nice work ethic.

 

[labgoat]

Emily & Ian are also quick to maximize their time as are Pate & Bye
