Everyone chime in on who they think will take the big win here! > [@US Nats this weekend - who's taking the gold?](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/us-nats-this-weekend-whos-taking-the-gold/305067): > > Who do you all think is going to win US Nationals this year? I saw YYF say that Evan isn’t defending the national title. I’m leaning towards Nate Daily to take the top spot, but there’s a lot of amazing competitors I’m excited to watch, including but not limited to: Kieran Cooper, Gentry Stein, Connor Seals, Colin Beckford, Remy Baskin, and Michael Kurti. ---

They just turned it off. Ben went to go find if there is an official stream out. ---

I’m starting to think that there is not any official stream at all because the official website says the stream is only for competitors. This is extremely disappointing to say the least. ---

They are having internet problems. They setup and tested yesterday but for some reason something wasn’t working quite right today with the venue. They just changed the settings via the tech people here and they are very hopeful it will work. They said they will be making the link public. So stay tuned! 🙂 ---
