So, I was resisting putting this in any form of writing...but I'll say this, Jeremy certainly earned a trip to worlds, but I can only hope that he decides to stay home. He has so very much to offer, and of course it is always possible that he has the worlds of a life time, but since I'm not a gambler, I'm thinking his chances of ending on a high note don't go up from here.

Another thing, he got no credit for his final 3Lo because they called the trip where he did no jump at all, an Axel. He then did a 2A a step later. So he lost 5 or more points on the loop.
This is sort of interesting. At Nationals, Jeremy slipped and missed his planed takeoff for his 3Loop, but composed himself and did the jump.
Jason, in essence, was trying to do the same thing, but the judges considered the slip as an aborted pass, hence taking away one of his passes and making is 3Loop invalid.

I am not at all sure. I thought if you don't rotate at all, it isn't a jump, but it appears the tech panel gets to be mind readers. I also haven't seen slow mo of the section of the FS with the axle in question. Maybe Jason did take off, but walleys and other half turn jumps are not counted as jumps, so I don't g e t it. I think if I were Kori,I might have challenged the call, but I haven't spent as much time with the singles rules as with dance.
I hope someone with more knowledge will explain the call.

I don't claim to be right, but I think it's the fact that he sort of did a waxel and that he took off the ground, as Jeremy's was more of a slip.
I'll have to watch the video again.
I know what you meant, but he has the entire quad to manage HIS own expectations.
And though I don't live in Highland Park, I will always cheer and be a fan of Jason regardless of the result.
(And I will keep that NYT photo as my computer desktop for the rest of the Olympics. Actually it's just a gorgeous photo....it's perfect for winter...)

So will I always be a fan. Jason's skating makes me smile, even when he doesn't earn high scores.
Also, I was looking for something in my journal this morning and the page where Jason put his autograph at nationals popped up. It made me smile. I also noticed for the first time that he actually put a heart at the end of his signature. Too cute.
Me,too- even as I realized he would not medal, I didn't stop smiling. There's just joy there

"Hug me!" says Jason (around 1:40 mark) Oh you don't even know...
Also, this is completely silly and I can't make out half of what's being said but someone actually did a palm reading of Jason
Me three. Has he ever had a truly "bad" performance? I don't think he's capable!

We are already on the ride! And, ummmm, what a breath of fresh air and joy and happiness....seriously, I can't stop smiling!!!
Me too. It's a nice break from all the angst and anger. I mean I understand Jason is a different place, but still it's nice to read this after Jeremy is giving f-bombs for what should have been the ultimate feel good story.

Programming note for U.S viewers of the NBC telecasts:
Meredith Vieira just said that she will have an interview with Jason on the NBC late-night broadcast. (The late-night show airs from 12:05 a.m. – 1:05 a.m. ET.)
Very cute, Mrs. P.

I agree. I think what I appreciate most about Jason is that even if he had a disaster of a skate, I never worry about his mental health. Other skaters, you feel terrible when they struggle because you know THEY feel terrible. Jason on the other hand, is just as motivated, hard-working, goal-oriented as others but you know that whatever happens he'll be secure and happy within himself, because his self-worth extends beyond skating. That's such a lovely quality to have. He's an inspiration and pleasure to root for.

Sue Barker was saying that in the rule books it says something about "intention". Even she was laughing about the rule. Sounds exactly like mind-reading to me.
