On Thursday night, the skater, who took home a bronze medal during the [2014 Sochi Olympic Games](http://time.com/2828/sochi-winter-olympics-environmental-damage/ "undefined"), delivered a rousing ice routine set to the lively tunes of cult-status [musical _Hamilton_ ](http://time.com/4499927/hamilton-broadway-takeover/ "undefined")while performing at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships. Skating to “The Room Where It Happens” for the men’s short program, Brown placed third in the standings with a score of 93.23, following Nathan Chen and Adam Rippon. For the routine, he wore a skating costume that was similar to the colonial American costumes that the cast of Hamilton wears. While Brown has yet to be confirmed for the [2018 Olympics in Pyeongchang](http://time.com/5068205/winter-olympic-sports-pyeongchang-2018/ "undefined"), the 2018 U.S. Championships play a strong role in the Olympic team selection, so his high marks with _Hamilton_ are definitely a boon.
