Jason Brown got the second most votes in this popularity contest among readers of the USFSA publication, with Davis and White third. Abbott wins the "Michelle Kwan Trophy."

Congrats to Jeremy! Well deserved. I hope he decides to compete this season.

Good for Jason-obviously a popular fella.

Davis and White have won it several times already, so I don't feel too bad for them.

So happy for him.

As much flack as Jeremy took last year, this has to make him feel good. "Nobody likes me except my vast legion of fans everywhere!"

I thought they were doing it by category, not first, second and third most vote -.-

anyway, congrats

Happy for Jeremy. He's been criticized so much the last few years. I'm sure this was very gratifying for him. (it kind of surprised me though - to be honest!)

Maybe he won because of all he's been through? The voters have to be dyed in the wool skating fans to read a Skating magazine and be interested enough to vote- so it stands to reason they know of his rough times.

I wonder where all those Brown fans and D/W fans were when this happened. So happy for Jeremy. And in an Olympics year! I hope he stays and does himself justice next year.

I'm sure Jason's time will come. I'm a big fan of his, but happy for Jeremy, it is a fitting tribute for him, especially at this point in his career. Whether he continue to compete (and I hope he does) we know it will likely not be for much longer. Congrats Jeremy!

I just knew he had a few more fans than me
