Hannah Miller was skating across the ice Thursday in Little Caesars Arena, doing a warm-up at the 2019 U.S. Figure Skating Championships, when the crowd erupted for this 22-year-old junior from Michigan State. “Cheesers! Clappies! Make it happen!” a group of young skaters from the Lansing Skating Club screamed. Miller usually blocks out the crowd. But she heard this silly, fun phrase that she has been saying with her skating friends for about 12 years. “We love you!” a voice yelled out. Miller, who trains at the Lansing Skating Club, was a clear crowd favorite, a hometown girl, who fell on a triple flip, putting her hand on the ice and finished her short program in 14th place with 52.75 points. “I’m a little disappointed,” she said. “The first and second jumps did not go how I wanted them to. My third jump did. My choreography and spins were great. I’m happy with all that. Overall, I felt really happy out there.” Bradie Tennell, the defending national champion, climbed into first place with 76.60 points.

Alysa Liu was already a phenom. Now she is a national champion at age 13. Liu stole the show Friday night, breezing through a free skate that included two triple axels and dethroning 2018 winner Bradie Tennell at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships. Liu became the youngest winner of an individual title at this event, and after her score was posted, she put her hands over her face, overcome with emotion. "I was just happy that I beat my personal record, and I did a clean long program," Liu said. Liu had already landed a triple axel in the short program Thursday, and she was in second place behind Tennell entering Friday. Tennell fell during her long program, and Liu, skating immediately after, seized the opportunity. Her first triple axel was in combination with a double toe loop. Then she landed another triple axel, and by the time she finished her performance -- set to "Witches of Eastwick" by John Williams -- she was beaming.

Men's Short Program Press Conference Nathan Chen, a two-time U.S. figure skating champion, appears to be on his way to defending his men’s title Chen placed first in the short program at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships on Saturday at Little Caesars Arena. Behind Chen, who has 113.42 points, there’s a razor-thin edge between second-place Jason Brown (100.52) and Vincent Zhou (100.25). Chen, who was the 2018 world champion, has made changes this season too. He’s studying as a freshman at Yale while practicing, training and competing.

For the third time in as many years, Nathan Chen is the best men's figure skater in the United States. Chen received a score of 228.80 points in Sunday's free skate, giving him 342.22 overall to take home gold at the 2019 U.S. Figure Skating Championships in Detroit. Vincent Zhou finished in second place, and Jason Brown earned the bronze. 2019 U.S. Men's Figure Skating Results 1. Nathan Chen (342.22 points) 2. Vincent Zhou (284.01 points) 3. Jason Brown (273.08 points) 4. Tomoki Hiwatashi (253.28 points) 5. Aleksei Krasnozhon (234.52 points) Chen, a 19-year-old who is currently a freshman at Yale, entered the free skate with a heavy advantage. His score of 113.42 during the short program put him more than 10 points ahead of Brown (100.52) and made him the heavy favorite. "Everything that I've done, good and bad in the past, stays in the past," Chen told reporters after the short program. "I learned quite a lot from the Olympics, and I think I learned more from my mistakes than from when I skated really well. Those are things I try to carry with me. I definitely don't want to jinx my head, I want to stay in the moment with what I'm doing. Every nationals is a challenge, so I'm glad I skated the way that I did."
