US Nationals Preview

Men’s Competition

It goes without saying that this competition is Ilia Malinin’s to lose, since no one else competing can touch his level of difficulty. Barring a major disaster, he will take gold. The rest of the field is far more up-in-the-air — especially with Jason Brown withdrawing. We expect good things from Andrew Torgashev and Jacob Sanchez, who have both been having great seasons so far. Also, keep an eye on Max Naumov, Daniel Martynov, and maybe even Camden Pulkinen. Also, never count out Jimmy Ma!

Pairs Competition

Reigning National Champs Ellie Kam and Danny O’Shea are your definite favorites coming in, but we don’t quite know what to expect from Emily Chan and Spencer Howe — who have been as high as 5th in the world before. Also, coming off a solid first half of the season, Alisa Efimova and Misha Mitrofanov cannot be counted out. Also, we’re excited to see the Nationals debut of Audrey Shin and Balazs Nagy!

Women’s Competition

Similar to Ilia Malinin, Amber Glenn is a resounding favorite — especially after the withdrawal of Isabeau Levito. However, this field is deep and could provide a lot of surprises. We’re welcoming Alyssa Liu back to Nationals, as well a Bradie Tennell. The younger competitors Sarah Everhart and Elyse Line Gracey have both shown they are threats this season as well. This will be interesting, for sure.

Dance Competition

Unless there’s a major upset, Madison Chock and Evan Bates will take this easily with Christina Carreira and Anthony Ponomarenko following for the silver. The bronze, however, is anyone’s guess! It could be last year’s third ranking US team, Emily Bratti and Ian Sommerville. Or we could see the rising Emilea Zingas and Vadym Kolesnik snatch it from their hands! Then again, would we be entirely surprised if Green and Parsons made a bit of a comeback and took it? Anything is possible!
