I love how awkward they are. They clearly concentrate more on their skating then on the attention they get. I've watched all 3 of these ladies skate, they are FANTASTIC!!! I'm excited to watch them in the Olympics.
ouch! Yeah, Bradie is totally composed & articulate in an interview when there are no technical delays, but she is NOT kicking a** at both Nationals & the Olympics to impress-- She just truly LOVES Skating!! :) i.e., She really doesn't give a hoot what anyone thinks--that's what makes her so cool. :)
Everyone complaining about their interviewing skills, just remember thats not what they trained for, they're athletes and have been training for the olympics, not for interviews. Now that they're going, they'll probably get some media training.
Ashly was honest. She's a team supporter. She was caught in the mix zone with no time to regroup mentally and emotionally. She was spot on in her remarks. She still one to be admired and a strong US Figure Skating team ambassador. Remember we are all human.
Absolutely, I see this often with young athletes. They are so single minded from training non-stop they are clueless. Deer in headlights when asked a question. She needs to put on her big girl panties and learn how to handle the press!
This was an awkward and horrible interview. Fake smiles and pretend interest from the hosts and boring answers from the ladies. "This is exciting..." Clearly, a forced statement and one just spoken out loud to fill silence. Why do American interviewers have to be so artificial?
keep your opinion to yourself hater and leave this channel and video even if u think it was fake they just made it into the OLYMPICS i dont think you would be the same, if u got in which you wont because your busy hating on amazing skaters
Not a hater. The right Olympic team was chosen for the ladies. Still, this interview was terrible, as all with eyes and ears can blatantly see and hear.
Remember, this interview took place around 5-6am PST (local San Jose time), and they must have been up since 3:30am to get dressed and ready, get to the rink, go through make-up and some run throughs. So, you can imagine how tired, sleepy and out of it they may have been.
That very fact makes the timing and date of this interview even more crazy. Out of respect for the young women, and to make certain they had time to rest a little and gather their thoughts and reflect a bit before being thrown to the media hounds, and, not in the very least to put their own best feet forward, the U.S. Figure Skating Federation should have postponed this short interview at a different date. I feel for American figure skaters who have to deal with the fools leading their federation.
This is very awkward but they’re in California and the today show is in New York so the communication is a little delayed. I think the people at the today show and the ladies did the best they could’ve
lol this is so weird, im relling ya the new girl literally popped out of nowhere and has no profile outside this stupid nationals yet she landed gold but wagner's been everywhere and been good meant nothing lol this system is so messed up nationals= olympics??!?!
She got a medal at Skate America. Nationals was not her first main competition. Yes, she wasn't a standout as a junior. But Bradie has improved. She may be a rookie, but she's a pretty good one. And Ashely scored 4th place in Nationals in 2014. Yet she still went to the Olympics. After the controversy from that, I wouldn't expect Ashely to get a pass for the second time.
As many have stated it's very early for them, they aren't used to this type of thing, and I'm sure you wouldn't be any better your first time in front of national tv with a five second delay bc it's not even a live interview. Just saying you shouldn't be saying things like "omg so awkward" and "wow they have no personality" because you don't even know them Y'all need to chill
It was done at 4:30am on the Pacific Coast in order to air in EST. They were still competing at 10pm the previous night so I think they were just wiped out.
Gosh I see you everywherw 😂 I think they are all three like Madison Kochian. She was also very shy, if it werent for Simone and Laurie the team wouldnt have had that much personality. Aly had already had plent of experience in 2012 and Dwts...
LMAO, I know right? I was laughing so hard at the start of the interview ... LMAO ... just sit there and smile. Bradie's answers were so short and it made me laugh out loud. They're athletes first, but it was just funny to see them interview like this. It will be interesting to see their growth in skating as well as interviewing, LOL.
Tara m I'm sorry that you don't find the humour in this interview. That's fine. I find it funny and you don't. I mean that's all there is to say. So I'll continue laughing at nothing and you can continue doing whatever it is you were doing.
Why are people complaining about their interviewing skills lmao. First of all, this wasnt done live, so there were techinical differences and issues. Second, wasn't this only a few hours after the competition? Jeez. People say the reason why US can never compare with Russia and other countries when it comes to figure skating is because of difference in discipline and culture, and people in this comment section are proving that lmao
I'm sure these girls are adjusted to training at 4:30am, most skaters have to be at some point in their career due to school and other interference. Surely they should have at least some media training or try their best to represent their country in an enthusiastic light, IMO. I wish them the best; they do train hard. But they throw it away when they seem un-amused with the results.
With all these russian girls who overloading there 2nd half of there programs. With there tripple tripples. An taking advantage of that 10 percent bonus score . Mirai nagasu is the only one who really has a shot to medal. The other two no chance

Well Russia is not gonna be allowed to participate this year.
Honestly, these girls are fantastic and I have no doubt that their gonna win it all with the focus they have. I understand they were nervous haha but i'm pretty sure everyone can agree that this interview was very awkward.
Bianca Jean yeah I agree! They probably were nervous or even just a bit exhausted from the competition. But yes, it’s very awkward as well. Wishing them the best.
I guess that they got up early so they just have been tired and didn’t have the energy to do the interview, if it was 7am ETS, then it must have been 4am PST
Is Lindsay Vonn going to the PyeongChang games? If she goes, I hope chaperones protect her from NK soldiers. The border is so close at where the games are at in South Korea. She's one of my favorite athletes. I have a crush on her!!!
Haha poor Bradie! She's definitely not super social and used to this attention. Don't worry, we're all looking forward to see you in the Olympics! Hopefully you can get some media training in some time pefore then 😂
I agree you don't see blacks nor Mexicans much, but I think that is economic mostly. Mexicans have short, stocky bodies which don't lend themselves to sports nor finesse, so it's both economic and genetic with them. You never see the East Indians. Ever. It's not economics with them, they have the money to skate.They are uncoordinated as h*ll and don't have a feel for their legs. Don't know what it is, but very few can even stand up in skates. I've been an ice skate instructor for many years, and teach all ages. None of the Indian kids can stand up. It's like their legs can't hold them. It must be genetic with Indians. I'd bet money on that one.
"HELLO CONGRATULATIONS!!!" *dead silence for like 30 seconds* LOL YIKES.
Because the olympic doctor has massaged them inappropriately just before so they are little bit shell shocked.
Nairuulagch uhh didn’t need to take it that far... and that doctor was for gymnastics
Nairuulagch to 😂😂
I love how awkward they are. They clearly concentrate more on their skating then on the attention they get. I've watched all 3 of these ladies skate, they are FANTASTIC!!! I'm excited to watch them in the Olympics.
that is probably why they are on the team and the instagram girls are not
Carine Johnson & Jan, well said, ladies!
ouch! Yeah, Bradie is totally composed & articulate in an interview when there are no technical delays, but she is NOT kicking a** at both Nationals & the Olympics to impress-- She just truly LOVES Skating!! :) i.e., She really doesn't give a hoot what anyone thinks--that's what makes her so cool. :)
how adolescent to be jealous of girl skaters?!! Get a hobby or skill, please!-
Everyone complaining about their interviewing skills, just remember thats not what they trained for, they're athletes and have been training for the olympics, not for interviews. Now that they're going, they'll probably get some media training.
okay but seriously they are so awkward and dry.....
I am very familiar with that notion and well aware of that, but this was another level of yikes hopefully they'll get better lol
Mirai has good interviewing skills
Fair, but look at the US Gymnastics Team, they are athletes and not trained for interviews, but they do fine?
They are also very young women lacking that assured stance you gain through life experience
Looks like Karen is going to have to be the spokeswoman for the US ladies!!
Ashly was honest. She's a team supporter. She was caught in the mix zone with no time to regroup mentally and emotionally. She was spot on in her remarks. She still one to be admired and a strong US Figure Skating team ambassador. Remember we are all human.
A lot of Asians representing the US. LETS GO!
Bradie needs some media training :|
Absolutely, I see this often with young athletes. They are so single minded from training non-stop they are clueless. Deer in headlights when asked a question. She needs to put on her big girl panties and learn how to handle the press!
.... she's 19. And an athlete, not an actor or host.
Maybe they couldn't hear the reporters well.
Seriously. It’s sooooo cringy
This was genuinely painful to watch
They don't seem like themselves in this interview. I have watched interviews/videos with Karen and Mirai, so much different there than here.
I think it was just awkward because it wants face to face. This is probably the first time they've ever done that.
This is like an SNL skit
She is just darling! To qualify for the Olympics 8 years later is just amazing! I hope she brings home the gold,
OUR TEAM SUCKS THIS YEAR
Lol this was painful to watch.
It's so awkward I love it
This was an awkward and horrible interview. Fake smiles and pretend interest from the hosts and boring answers from the ladies. "This is exciting..." Clearly, a forced statement and one just spoken out loud to fill silence. Why do American interviewers have to be so artificial?
do less lol

They were acting like robots
Much awkward..much uncomfortable...strange smiles O.O
Hope they get some media training before the olympics
Jennyyx316 media isn’t what they should be worried about when they are going to the Olympics.
I am from south korea and I watched the olympics and they were amazing
Karen Chen is adorable
This is very awkward but they’re in California and the today show is in New York so the communication is a little delayed. I think the people at the today show and the ladies did the best they could’ve
Wow 😳 so much cringe. They didn't seem excited at all for this interview. Rehearsed and forced. At least Karen seemed the most herself.
cloudburstlia456 they just competed press is likely the very last thing they wAnna do please have mercy on these girls they work so hard
they had this interview at 4:30am would you be all smiles and talking?
aw man really that sucks no wonder
AWWWWWWWWKWAAAAAAARD!!! 😱
man they are so freaky
lol this is so weird, im relling ya the new girl literally popped out of nowhere and has no profile outside this stupid nationals yet she landed gold but wagner's been everywhere and been good meant nothing lol this system is so messed up nationals= olympics??!?!

wow no emotion from these ladies?
KARDASHIAN VOICES...I CAN'T
Yuna Kim gave better interviews in English when she could barely speak it when she first moved to Canada. 😑
WOW!! they are so excited!!! :)
robots...
Bradie Tennell is amazing.

Sarah Hughes, Sasha Cohen and Michelle Kwan would have brought the energy to this interview lol
IM DYING THE CRINGE JEEZ
LMAO I’m dead
Lol this is hilarious. I think the anchormen and women are trying hard not to laugh.
So much charisma
wish all 3 of you the best
They don't have personality at all LMAO. Especially Bradie. So different from the gymnastics team in Rio.
It was done at 4:30am on the Pacific Coast in order to air in EST. They were still competing at 10pm the previous night so I think they were just wiped out.
Gosh I see you everywherw 😂

LET'S GO, Mirai, Bradie, and Karen!
The blond needs a personality transplant jesus🤦🏻♂️
They're all just being polite.
Go team USA
GO TEAM USA
Brandy Tennell 😉

Oh gosh this years team is as dry as a sponge. They have the the personalities of a doorknob.
Oh well. They are just girls, after all.
Weird!!
Dull.
Gorgeous beautiful girls!
Never Quit Never Give up
None of those girls seems passionate or exciting.. Come on, America. Raise some powerful figure skaters. I believe in you.
I'm sure these girls are adjusted to training at 4:30am, most skaters have to be at some point in their career due to school and other interference.

*sad.
personalities of a dead fish. Geez! talk girls!
Sheree Bee
Keep in mind that this was early in the morning. Besides Mirai is an adorable human being.
they maybe be nice girls not disputing that but at least say thanks when someone says congratulations. Need to work on their media social skills lol
Lovely
these type of interviews are always so awkward
Honestly, these girls are fantastic and I have no doubt that their gonna win it all with the focus they have. I understand they were nervous haha but i'm pretty sure everyone can agree that this interview was very awkward.
Bianca Jean yeah I agree! They probably were nervous or even just a bit exhausted from the competition. But yes, it’s very awkward as well. Wishing them the best.
They are just practicing how to fit in in Korea as young ladies. I like these girls. No need to show off to be loud and proud Americans all the time.
Oh wow...this was hard to watch. Hoping they're better under pressure on the ice. 😬
Thank god marai made it!
Bring home the gold!
That was pretty sax.
This made me cringe ugh
Why
Good luck, ladies! We're so proud of you and rooting hard for you!
I guess that they got up early so they just have been tired and didn’t have the energy to do the interview, if it was 7am ETS, then it must have been 4am PST
THEYRE SO AWKWARD I LOVE IT HAHA
This is just awkward to watch...
They need Ashley Wagner
Yes Ashley can be their mascot 😀😀😀😀😀😀
🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
Bet they were glad Matt Lauer wasn't there.
this is so funny...they would like to eat...
Who is the male interviewer? He's hot.
Yeah.....these girls needs some public speaking training.
Embarrassingly dim!
These ladies need to show more enthusiasm.
Is Lindsay Vonn going to the PyeongChang games? If she goes, I hope chaperones protect her from NK soldiers. The border is so close at where the games are at in South Korea. She's one of my favorite athletes. I have a crush on her!!!
Wagner..... 😂
Marai is so pretty!
Figure skaters are all like me me me, I, I, I. Me this, me that. They are all boring PR sports psychology babble robots.
+Madi Skates thank you for defending them on every comment, its sooo frustrating to read these, as I am a figure skater as well!
Team USA but not americans
yellow fever
Haha poor Bradie! She's definitely not super social and used to this attention. Don't worry, we're all looking forward to see you in the Olympics! Hopefully you can get some media training in some time pefore then 😂
Where are the blacks or the spanish,i guess they not good enough.
I agree you don't see blacks nor Mexicans much, but I think that is economic mostly. Mexicans have short, stocky bodies which don't lend themselves to sports nor finesse, so it's both economic and genetic with them.
You never see the East Indians. Ever. It's not economics with them, they have the money to skate.They are uncoordinated as h*ll and don't have a feel for their legs.
