2026 U.S. Nationals Practice Reports

Kai swirling his head looking at the ceiling during the footwork would make me so dizzy that I would fall over

Liam has a Dragonheart - he has given me a different look for this music other than the Elvis Stojko version - it is pure and shows me the heart of the underdog who overachieves. If he goes clean, he is going to have an iconic moment.

A real shame that one small mistake on the Axel kept Jacob Sanchez out of the final group. He attempts a 4Salchow to open his runthrough, but falls just short of rotation. Jackie says he is working on 4S and 4Lutz.

If only we could have Jackie and Jean-Luc Baker do the NBC broadcast. Tara and Jonny are unsufferable, particularly Jonny.

I would pay for that...but I don't see that happening.

Friends would you say Andrew's style is rather voidy?

I'd need a ruling from Not Olympic Champion Sarah Hughes, lol.

I think he comes from the darkness of the void
Dark power is my mental description

 

[labgoat]

Max is the opposite - he's the rainbow coming out of darkness

the draw makes this contrast visible...

It is seriously windy here and we have flashes of rain.
I am getting the same vibes as JLB and Jackie.
I think Max is going to take this - the setup of fate is not an accident.

 

[labgoat]

Followed by Jason...
I gotta say I am kinda worried for him

Best advertisements on the boards this year.
Puffs, Saatva, cell phones, pharmaceuticals and gusto in the jump corner
all things useful in figure skating

 

[labgoat]

Jason was watching Tomoki jump and tripped on the boards
They both are laughing

someone should ask her

 

[labgoat]

Ilia's program is definitely growing on me.
Without the focus on the jumps I can concentrate more on the concept

 

[labgoat]

I need full text of the voiceovers...

 

[labgoat]

The first time Ilia did the raspberry I thought he had a seizure in the middle of a jump.
I think my phrase was - he looks like he just got electrocuted during that jump

The USFS channel on Youtube is showing practice streams scheduled for today (pairs and women), but nothing has started. Anyone know anything about those streams? They were showing dance and men yesterday.
