I expect to see Jason doing a quad this summer at the Broadmoor.and Glacier Falls competitions, similar to the way he introduced the 3a into his programs.

Yes, Jason was on a whole different level in terms of PCS and deserved to win over Nam at SA.Sorry, I was at Skate America and I disagree. Nam deserved and received much higher TES in the FS than Jason, but in my opinion he did not deserve higher PCS than he received. He seemed like a little kid going through the motions. There wasn't a lot of energy. And he was quite slow.
...How is this news? Did anyone expect Jason to be crazy enough to run off to Worlds with 4T<<?
This must be really frustrating for Max Aaron, who attempts (and fairly reliably lands) three 4S across both programs. And the ones going to Worlds: a skater who attempts one inconsistent 4T (Farris), who attempts two 4Z and they're usually UR or << (Rippon), and who attempt no quads in either program (Brown).
According to the article, two of the three American men must place 6th and 7th or higher to keep these three spots.
I do not see it happening. I can see Farris around 4th-5th with a bit of luck but the highest I can see Brown is 9th. Frankly, I would not be surprised if he missed the top 10 altogether.

Why not? Adam is running off to Worlds with a 4Lz<< and for some reason, everyone thinks this is a great idea and he was somehow robbed at Nationals. :sarcasm:
I was all ready to say "the article was wrong", then I double-checked wiki... Can't believe there's no difference of minimum placement whether you have 2 or 3 skaters trying to grab the coveted three-spots. In fact the rule is more relaxed toward countries with 3 representatives, where 1 skater is allowed the cushion to completely falter as long as the other 2 "placed decently". Oy vey!According to the article, two of the three American men must place 6th and 7th or higher to keep these three spots.

Kori has decided that for now he'll get the highest score he can without the quad. The placement will be whatever it is.
That's why losing a slot is a big deal.
Adam at least has a rotated quad in practice. Now getting it aroung under pressure seems to be an issue.
His quad at Nationaly looked rotated to me. Maybe a little underrated, but << ?? no.
Judges don't like him, i don't get it--besides Abbott he really has it all.
The strange thing is, the men seem to do better when Jason is around. I mean 4CC and Rostelecom were probably the best international events for the men so far and Jason was at both.

p.s. General comment:
Is it me ... or are Josh/Jason/Adam stirring up far more discussion than the U.S. ladies? (Not to mention the other U.S. disciplines.) :think:
Not complaining. The men are the most interesting to me. Then the dancers and ladies. But I'm surprised that the men seem to be dominating the threads.
Do you mean men from all countries or only U.S. men?? :think:
