Good luck for Jason! Micha's program's photo is very blury... I dont'see... he will make one quad?
No quad. And it looks like they changed the layout so he won't Zayak on jumps.

I adore MIcha! But he born 17. 05. 91. Jason born 15. 12. 94. 3,5 years of differences.No quad. And it looks like they changed the layout so he won't Zayak on jumps.
No, I think he generally does the 3f-3t in the secon half cause usually he is consistent on it. And he can't do another -3t combo due to Zayak.
That said they probably put the -2t on thr first axel so he can focus on doing second 3A solo in the second half and not worry about getting -REP as he did the last few outings.
Ahh yes I'd forgotten about Zayak. Thank you Mrs P!
By the way, I really appreciated your taking the time to "defend" our Jason on the Men's SP thread :thumbsup:
ETA: Just thought of something. As I remember the Zayak rule, it states that you can only repeat a jump once, and the second jump has to be in combination.Wouldn't this mean that it's ok to do both of those jumps in combination?
Yes!
So then he could in theory do a 3A-3T?
Yes instead of the 3f-3t. He could do the -1l-3s combo on the 3a instead of the 3z. But then he have to do a different combo on the 3z since he repeats that jump.
Why not in addition to? He'd only have two 3Ts then?
But then he would have to forgo repeating the lutz or axel...since he repeats the 3t. It's harder combos with fewer points.
I feel really stupid cos I still don't get this rule
Eh it's kind of confusing.
Just happy to know it's not because he's ill or anything
Me tooo! Le lacrime di Jason! The tears of Jason! OMG! What a sensibile young man!Awwww when Jason burst into tears after his skate tonight, so did I
Happy tears though! But he looked so lost for a second that I wanted to fly to Russia and give him a big hug

Likewise. It also made me wonder about the Twitter photo with the "happy messages" jar from earlier this week. I remember thinking why would Jason need happy thoughts (although don't we all?) But he fought for the FS, and now he can refine it for Nats.
On a different point, I always liked the original ending to Juke, (or actually the first two, Broadmoor and Glacier Falls) and this new one has always just about caught the last wafting note, and not at all at Rostelecom. Time to refine that one too?

This has been an extremely difficult and emotional week. My manager, Shep Goldberg, passed the morning I left for Russia, and I want to dedicate last nights free skate to him...It wasn't perfect, but I fought and gave it everything I had just like he has always done. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Over the past 8 months we've worked together, he's left such an impact on my life. #integrity #class #rolemodel
