The U.S. National Team clinched two bronze medals on the final day of Skate Canada International with Isabeau Levito and Caroline Green and Michael Parsons standing on the podium in the women's and ice dance events, respectively.  

After an impressive performance in Saturday's rhythm dance that saw the team earn the first Level 4 distinction on the Golden Waltz pattern of the Grand Prix season, Green and Parsons carried that momentum into the free dance.  

"[I feel] proud. I think I said proud after rhythm dance too, but I'm also very proud after this skate," Parsons said. "This whole week, I think we showed the work that we've been doing at home with our whole team. It was a fight for the whole program, but we stayed together and it felt like we attacked until the very last step and that's all I could ask for."  

Their free dance, which tells the story of an art museum heist where a thief escapes with a beautiful piece of artwork through the rainy streets of Paris, collected Level 4s on four elements: their dance spin, synchronized twizzles, and two lifts. Their first curve lift scored a program-high 13.64 points.   

"Especially that second-half onwards, I think that's when we were able to really delve into the character of the piece," Green said of their free dance. "I think that was our goal coming off of our last two events is to be able to show the passion and the chemistry of this vehicle, and I think we were able to make progress towards that today, so we're just really excited."  

The 2026 Four Continents Championships silver medalists posted a free dance score of 111.78 and overall score of 186.02. The bronze medal finish tied their previous best placement at a Grand Prix.  

Oona Brown and Gage Brown finished just 2.3 points behind Green and Parsons to land in fourth place with a score of 183.72. This result tied their best finish at a Grand Prix event, which they previously achieved at this same event in 2023.  

Their program featured a Level 4 curve lift and Level 4 dance spin, both of which contributed to a free dance score of 111.03.  

For the sibling duo, this competition served as a learning opportunity for future competitions, including their second Grand Prix assignment at Finlandia Trophy later this month. 

"We're happy with how that felt," Gage Brown said. "After looking at some levels, we definitely need to work again on some technically, but I felt like performance-wise, storyline-wise, everything was pretty much there. We're still perfecting all of those things component-wise, and we're excited for our next outing in Finland."  

With their Queen's Gambit-themed performance depicting the intricate moves of chess pieces, the reigning Four Continents Championships bronze medalists hope to entertain audiences with their pursuit of pushing creative boundaries with their programs.  

"We always try to do unique things, and so [we hope they] remember us by how unique we are and how we try to be different than the norm," Oona Brown said. "Just to come away from it to be like, 'Wow, they tried something new,' or 'that looks totally different from what other people put out there.'" 

The final U.S. entry in the ice dance event for the stars and stripes, Katarina Wolfkostin and Dimitry Tsarevski placed sixth with season-best free dance and total scores of 175.64 and 104.24, respectively.  

The 2025 World Junior silver medalists' combination and stationary lifts were highlights of their Black Swan performance, with both elements earning Level 4s. 

Now in their second season competing on the Grand Prix Series, they are motivated by a desire to constantly improve throughout the season as they prepare to compete at 2026 Saatva Skate America in just a few weeks.  

"I think every single time we perform this program, we grow into it more and more. We also grow to love it more and more," Wolfkostin said. "With the new dress coming into the Grand Prix, it just felt fresh and new and we're really excited to perform it. I think we did a great job and just keep moving forward and hopefully we keep going up that ladder." 

In the women's event, Levito's podium finish marked the seventh Grand Prix medal for the New Jersey native.  

Going into the free skate in second place, Levito opened her performance set to "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" by Michel Legrand with a 12.15-point triple Lutz-triple loop combination and concluded with a Level 4 step sequence and Level 4 camel spin. Unfortunately, a popped triple Lutz in the middle of the program caused her to fall into sixth-place in the free skate with 133.72 points, but she held on to her spot in the top three with 212.22 points overall.  

"I'm really disappointed with my mistakes in my free skate, but it's the first competition of the season. Overall, I'm satisfied with the result," Levito said of her performance.  

The two bronze medals bring the U.S. medal total at Skate Canada International to three. On Saturday, Alisa Efimova and Misha Mitrofanov earned silver in the pairs event. 

The U.S. National Team will next head to Shenzhen, China, for the 2026 Cup of China, the third of six stops on the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Series, taking place Nov. 6-8.
