Han Yan was of course a prodigy
but I underestimated Farris, I always see his skating as too balletic and lacking power
Brown should take bronze here easily

Joshua Farris and Han Yan got the exact same PCS (71.20)! Yan matches his previous SB ranking (13th) but Farris moves into 15th (behind Rippon, ahead of Miner). Should Abbott and Rippon not earn those three spots at senior worlds, next year's US Nationals is gonna be a bloodbath

I see a complete package from Yan, solid quality on all aspects - technical, performance, and that cool champion vibe. Farris is balanced technically and artistically too but needs more personality. Brown is too much upper body and arm movements for me and needs technical improvement to compete with top Men in his age group including Yan, Farris, and Hanyu.
Congratulations to Han Yan,Joshua Farris, and Jason Brown! :Clap:

Thank you, Lilyvalley, for giving us key details.
No matter what happens now, China and the USA have three spots at next year's WJs. Japan, Canada, Russia and Kazakhstan have two.
Brown just earned bronze with the highest PCS of the night. The judges really like him - once he gets the 3A, he'll be world beater material.
and Brown takes bronze !
looks like a solid performance
if he gets his 3A and Quad
he will surpass Han an and Farris already
Farris actually is artistic but I agree he lacks personality and appeal compared to Brown
Thank you for this analysis. It creates a clear picture.Originally Posted by SkateFiguring
I think you got that mixed up. Miner's SB is 223 from 4CC, but Farris is now ahead of Rippon on the SB list. And wow Jason just scored 144 with no 3aand into 3rd! D10 off the podium. Huge scores for the top 3. Can't wait to see Yan, Farris, and Brown on the GP next season! Way to lay it down, guys.
Brown did amazing eevn with no 3A or quad.I think you got that mixed up. Miner's SB is 223 from 4CC, but Farris is now ahead of Rippon on the SB list. And wow Jason just scored 144 with no 3a
he is pure talent, imo
Han Yan and Joshua Farris are looking to have very promising senior careers. They both did really well!
Nah, I was just looking at the long program scores on the SB list. But yes, these scores are huge. Enough to give gmyers panic, anyway.I think you got that mixed up. Miner's SB is 223 from 4CC, but Farris is now ahead of Rippon on the SB list. And wow Jason just scored 144 with no 3a
Yan can have a quick leap in PCS by going to a top tier choreographer. China is lacking in that part of their training program but once a Chinese skater proves himself or herself worthy internationally, s/he gets sent overseas to the likes of Lori Nichols.
I hope to see Brown get his 3A next season or a quad
had he had these, he would have eaten Han Yan and Farris and won by a huge margin
