Hi Erika, I totally agree with you. I enjoy seeing them each year in September in Dix Hills and was lucky to interview them a few times already. Have you seen them skate in real life?
You can definitely see the sibling resemblance. They have both matured so much since the first video of theirs I saw, the Metallica program. Future gold medalists in ice dance! 🏅🏅
Speaking plainly, Roger didn't let Oona get a word in edgewise. Super uncomfortable to watch the sister try to say something and never, not once I believe, be able to get a word out. Roger most likely doesn't see himself as chauvinistic, but he most certainly is. Roger, if you interview couples in the future, make it a point to let b-o-t-h persons talk. If this be rude, at least I hope you remember it. Retitle this piece, "Interviewing Gage Brown While Oona Brown Looks On."
Sorry I am not a professional interviewer, and a lot of other people have been saying that. I got really nervous and didn't realize that the older brother was dominating the conversation. I didn't get to do it again this year because of hockey, but next year I will do it again and certainly give her more time to speak!
my favorite skaters! one of my bucket list dreams is to see them skate in person! 💯 thanks for the interview. after reading other comments i'm just not going to judge their dynamics or the interview style...if anything she may just be a bit more timid with speaking...but definitely not timid on the ice! 🤘😎 they have a huge fan in me and i'm enjoying the excitement and anticipation of their continued success...i believe they are going all the way to the top of whereEVER their hearts desire and intentions are set to go! 💯💜
Everyone please help me out with a title suggestion and please like and subscribe to my TH-cam Channel. Thanks so much! The Browns are so great to speak with!
A title suggestion could be..."An awful interview where Oona Brown got to say nothing but 'yes' several times cos the incompetent interviewer did not include her or aim questions specifically at her while her brother shot in before she could speak on every question." How about that for a title??
Ok @mymobile5014. I never said I was an expert and I actually think that is the way the siblings have things set up in interviews. Gage is older and he is the leader for sure. I will remember next year to make a comment to both of them before I start speaking with them that everyone wants to hear more from Oona.
Sir please correct the year in your title. This pair of AMAZING skaters deserve to be found when someone searches 2022 world junior champions! They are so deserving of that title! Love these two talented people.
(Sharon Shneyer), While I have only read some of the comments, from their skating, I somehow get the feeling that he is the protective older brother. I could be wrong about that though. Their skating is all that matters and I love their skating and performing on ice.
Gage is 20 (b. Oct.20, 2002). Oona is 18 (b. Sept. 10, 2004). I had thought they were both 2 years younger since they just moved up to seniors this year. I think we are looking at our 2026 gold medalists in ice dance. Oona is tiny at just 4’10”.! Her lanky looking bro is 5’5”.
She seemed shy in front of the camera which seemed strange as she is used to performing in front of thousands. I don't think he was intentionally dominating the conversation, he just seemed more charismatic and protective over his sister so he took the conversation lead.
She doesn’t have to talk with anyone when she’s skating, she’s probably concentrating on ‘what’s my next move?” Scott Hamilton, who won gold in 1984, said, ‘when you are out there, you are concentrating on what you are doing next.’ @@tooth2163
Now that they are in Senior level, its their to shine more...and im so excited for their years to come as a Senior..Papadalks of italy will be on history
It's what made the interview so good and added an element of fun when the interviewer is a bit chaotic like this. It's actually a well used tactic to lighten the mood and put people off balance with questions.
@@AN-jw2oe She tried to say something several times but Gage is much quicker to think & respond. She seems like someone who needs a bit of time to collect her thoughts & then deliver. If given the opportunity she’d get better at it.
Clearly he is extroverted and the spokesperson for the duo. She is introverted and glad to be having her older brother handle public speaking part. She gets more attention on the ice than he does. From the skating videos, I’d think she’s more outgoing and he is shy, but it’s the opposite. I have anxiety when I have to say something in public and it’s the same like she had here, it’s blocking you from actually saying something.
Yes some of us are smart enough to see that! Or maybe I'm being too arrogant I guess we have that sixth sense that some other people don't have it's just a fact of nature so to speak
@raincherienne1010. Your the best! Oona could have said more but Gage is the spokesperson for both of them. Oona is great on the ice and that is all that counts.
(Sharon Shneyer), Having completely finished watching the interview, I'm not so sure it was as bad as it was made out to be, however, I do feel that the interviewer should learn something about figure skating, in particular ice dancing before the next interview in my opinion.
Hi Sharon, I need to work on that. I am an ice hockey player doing this for fun. We are all in a fund raiser for Batter women, the American Cancer Society and other Long Island groups. We are raising money by playing and figure skating. Many of my retired professional hockey players were there and they are on the Stanley Cup for the NY Rangers. There are retired Islander players who played also. Again it is all for charities and a 24 Hour hockey tournament. Have a great weekend. I am a professional scuba diver and Lionfish hunter so you know. Check out my website; Lionfishdivers.com.
That was the most painful interview ever. Poor Oona. The hockey player got spoken to, the coach got spoken to, Gage tried to answer every question that was asked and the interviewer never once said Oona what do you think?? Absolutely appalling.
I did not realize that Oona was left out. It seems like each time I asked a question Gage answered it. Next year I will make sure I get Oona to answer more questions. I think they are used to having Gage answer questions since he is so good at it and also is older. You are right, next year I will make sure that changes.
@@Lionfish-Scuba-Fishing-Travel Gage may be older but Oona is more than old enough and you could tell she had lots to say. She just wasn't given a chance. It's up to you to direct an interview so we see the best that you can get from both of them. Oona is a phenomenal skater in her own right and I'd love to know more about her as well as Gage. I hope you can do better next time as you say.
@@Lionfish-Scuba-Fishing-Travel I did not perceive that she had a lot to say, she just seemed really shy and seemed happy for her brother to answer for them both. There was plenty of opportunity for her to answer as I am sure you were looking at both of them while you were asking questions. I don’t think you did anything wrong, don’t feel bad based on well-intentioned people’s incorrect assumptions! 🙂
Next year I am definitely going to make sure Oona gets more speaking time! I will find out if she is shy and if not will get her to speak more! She is also really sweet in person!
It seemed to me like she didn’t want to talk, or really didn’t have anything to say. It seemed to me like he was trying to pick up the slack. They both seemed to me, anyway, uninterested in the interview.
I never noticed that she was not saying much. I was so exciting to be interviewing them! Next year I will definitely direct more questions to Oona. I think she is quiet, but I will get her speaking. She is real smart.
The interviewer could make it more equal by addressing questions to Oona directly. He turned it into a 2-way conversation with Gage. A good interviewer spreads it around.
Answers question..."oh, interesting, and Oona, what do YOU think about that?" Later, "Oona, what's it like to skate with your brother? How do you manage school and competing?" SO many questions, but you have to guide the interview and don't let a younger, quieter female be drowned out by the extrovert, male talking all the time! Women are conditioned to not speak up and are not encouraged to be confident to share their experiences and opinions enough already.
They ARE “unique and special “!!! My favorite skaters and can’t wait to see more of them!!!
Me too!!! I can't wait to see the next choreography!!! They are the best skaters!!!
I have a video from 2021 September.
@@daianenunes1300 Check out last years interview. There is so skating in that video on my TH-cam Channel and please subscribe.
You guys are the best skaters ever. Hope you have a good future together ❤
They are great.
Gages charisma comes through wonderfully!!! There programs are fabulous!
yes. there is something about him that is very alluring, but he is not typically good-looking.
What? Gage is very handsome. They are beautiful inside and out!!!
Double Doc must be blind
@Laura Stanton For real, they must be blind. Both Gage and Oona are gorgeous! Good genes that run in the family, clearly.
He is definitely confident!
These two are so impressive. They are definitely going places. Keep up the great work, looking forward to seeing you win the Olympics.
They are so nice and great skaters!
They are so very talented, I'm really excited to see how far their skating takes them!
I hope they make the Olympics in 2026!
My favorite skaters of all time!
They are great! Did you like the video and also see the one from the year before?
They're so great. I'm obsessed with them! Love their skating programs.

Unfortunately it is not unusual for women to be ignored regardless of their talent.
My thoughts exactly. Would have loved to hear her answer some questions.

I love watching how smooth they are and how well they work together!
It would have been nice to hear Oona speak if her brother hadn't dominated the conversations. She has a mind and opinions as well!!
I am going to make sure next September I let Oona speak for sure. She is really smart and will be good if she had a chance.

I don't want to sound harsh on the interviewer but it seems you didn't know what to ask them.
Thanks. I am a ice hockey player and am not versed in figure skating! Good call. Thanks for being nice too!

You can't determine that from this. You can be quiet and shy without being introverted and you can be talkative without being extrovert.

Amazing

very perfect skating - when plaing MUSE
They are amazing to watch and skate perfectly like you said!

She's obviously more shy. Every question she looks to him to lead their joint response. (He's not talking over her or bullying her.) Calm down. 🤭
