Loved Jason even with the mistakes! I think this might be the most memorable free program of the year! (Not necessarily this particular performance of it, just the program in general).
With Machida, it's not just that it's feathers... it's RED feathers. They're trying to take the attention away from his skating. I legitimately cannot focus watching him right now.Wait, who was it that got mad at Johnny for wearing feathers??
Does anyone else think that Jason Brown's layout is kind of risky with the 2 2As planned and an inconsistent 3A? If he ever pops that intended 3A into a double, he ends up with 3 2As, which isn't allowed. It would be safer to convert the 3Lz/1Lo/3S into a 3Lz/2T/2Lo and replace one of the 2As with a 3S.
agreed!i agree. His team should consider changing that jump layout.
Every skater has to tank when they get to seniors at least once. Jason is seriously consistent but I knew that it would even happen to him. He's still awesome.
Jason looked a bit tense which is understandable. He has owned the triple axel it was nerves that got to him. Great experience for him though.
I wouldn't call this tanking- just a nervous skate and without the big guns in his arsenal- ie no quad, no second triple axel- he can't afford lots of tiny errors.

I completely agree with you. Was not impressed with the program overall- weak transitions.Machida's PCS way too high. He deserved to win hands down but it was just element to element.
Machida, it appears for the moment, has mastered the mind game that is competitive figure skating. Strong, solid, early season competition for him and a big statement to the Japanese federation! Great for him!
