[4everchan]

Thanks for the games and congrats to the medalists ...

 

[ladyjane]

I wish I had followed my heart in all disciplines (except in the men, where I did to little success). Congratulations to all medallists, and a big thank you to the organisers!

 

[BlissfulSynergy]

Congrats all! Amazing to see I have bronze in women and men!! Luck of the draw. Pairs was difficult. Not sure what I got wrong in ice dance. I guess more predictors were completely accurate in that event.

 

[NYscorp6]

Congratulations to all the Medalists!

 

[casualfan]

This was my best result this season by far. Now biting my nails to see who the Olympic selection committee will choose for Pairs and Mens.

A in women and a in pairs, yeah! Congratulations to all the medalists!

 

[Lamente Ariane]

A perfect prediction in women, an adequate placement in dance and then I tanked hard in men and pairs the US Nationals experience

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

If I had followed my heart in Ice Dance, I would have had a perfect score. But, I didn't want to risk jinxing Emilea and Vadym, so I decided to be cautious and put them in 3rd rather than 2nd.

I'm happy to have got a Skate Picks Ice Dance Bronze Medal. But, I am absolutely delighted that my kids got a real Ice Dance Silver Medal.

Congratulations to everybody who won a medal, and thank you to @gsk8 and @Weathergal for their work backstage.

Exactly. I put Emilea and Vadym too low as well. But I am glad they shined, and actually got a real silver medal! Same with the pairs...got Elly and Danny too low. But they succeeded in a better way as well.

 

[apgold]

A gold in pairs and 230 points overall, not too shabby. I wish I hadn't swapped my dance predictions to include the Shibs and dropped my faves Oona and Gage. Oh well, sometimes it's best to go with your initial pick.

I'm exhausted after watching 4 days of skating and I didn't even go to St. Louis!

Congratulations to all the medalists, thanks to the organizers and also congratulations to the OG team being named today!

 

[labgoat]

Hey I upgraded to get a bronze in ladies - my only flaw was to flip Alysa & Amber.

 

[sworddance21]

Wow - I don't think I've ever won 2 medals in the same contest!

 

[16Olympics]

A gold in pairs (perfect score) and bronze in Dance and Women for 235 points! I still love ya, Jason!

Congrats to the medalists and to all of the USA skaters who made the event incredible.

Thank you, hosts and scorers. On to Europeans!

 

[elektra blue]

i got consistent with pairs, as usual my only medal. thank you scorers and congrats all

Pairs was wild - it took talent to navigate that chaos

 

[formersk8ter]

No medals for me this time... (although I assumed my picking the top 3 dance teams in correct order might have gotten me something there)?

No worries... congrats to the medalists... US Nats was a real adventure!
