Trust me, it's Skate Canada, not Skate America as the another site header says. ;)

I saw a photo with that bandage on his leg. It's probably still an issue, though perhaps a minor one. I thought he skated very well today. He just looks so different than everyone else. He's so polished and there is NO empty skating. And his jumps were clean. It wasn't the best 3A he's ever done, but it was adequate. They overlooked some qs on another skater, but they dinged him. It's the way it goes. I thought the score was fair. And I was happy to see Nathan looking more confident and comfortable on the ice. He looked worried all during SKAM. But for sheer great skating, no one beat Jason today. I wish he could land that quad really well and shut up the naysayers. But he's going to do this on his own terms and that's all the matters. Brian told him that something he did was brilliant. I didn't hear every word. And asked him if he was happy. They are so great with him. And so supportive. That was a great skate, better than Finlandia. It will keep getting better.

I believe I heard Brian say 'amazing, 'you didn't miss a beat/(or a step)'
 
tracy jumping up and down at the boards and then them laughing at it in the k&c made me crease 😂😂

Jason was fabulous last night, I’m glad to see that his scores are working back up to his SP bests, he was getting 91s last season so a 94 is a step up, though a teeny bit off his PB.
PCS as always still criminally underscored but his jumps and spins looked more powerful and overall less tentative than at Finlandia!
 
I don't really understand the q on the 3A, though it wasn't perfect. But Makar did a half turn out of one of his quads and didn't get dinged. They hand those things out unevenly. He was a bit underscored, but that's they way it goes. The skate was near perfect, but he does have some points left in it for the rest of the season. I think he can score 97 on that. A well executed 3A with good GOEs is worth at least 3 more points. I expect to see that in France. His foot injury hopefully will be less of a factor by then. He's such a brilliant skater. He looks totally different from everyone else out there. It's total control of all of his body. It's amazing! And his jumps are good! Really excited for him this year!
 
I went back and looked at the scoring and thought it was worth discussing in here. Jason scored higher than Nathan in Program Components, Transitions, Composition and Musical Interpretation. He only lost to him because Nathan has more fire power with all the quads. So Jason IS getting rewarded for his beautiful skating and the difference is the technical ability. The judges are giving high marks to Nathan for that and for skating skills - because his jumping is a skill. I'm sure Brian, Tracy and Jason are more than aware of that. But unless or until Jason can add that technical component - this is always what's going to happen. They are two very different skaters with different strengths and unfortunately Nathan's are more valued in the skating world today. Do I like it? Oh heck no. I'm just hoping that Jason can hang on to that Silver medal. That will be a huge accomplishment for him. But after listening to the link El posted and hearing what the Canadian broadcasters had to say - Jason is VERY much valued and his innate ability to deliver a stunning program is not going unnoticed.

He looks absolutely superb. Fit as a fiddle and on top of his game.

I am absolutely steaming mad about that PCS though. That's the sort of trash garbage I expect to see at US Nationals, not at an international.

They were waiting for Nathan - unfortunately.
 
So happy for Jason's silver.
I know he's not very happy with his performance, but better not to peak early, he has so much potential.
I wonder what happened with his last spin and I hope he did not injure himself on the quad landing or something. The pressure must be insane this season.
 
jesus christ that was a stressful competition overall and one i never plan to rewatch!
i’m half convinced the ice was off due to the fact that every man not named nathan was off - and Jason’s spin error was uncharacteristic, it looked like he struggled to catch his blade. Shame about the 4s and first 3A but glad he got the second axel out in combo!

This programme is coming together nicely, I really love the step sequence! I just wish he’d take the split jump out of the choreo sew, it doesn’t quite fit the mood of SL. But overall good fight and he kept that silver medal which was the important thing. His shock at his score was adorable too.
 
Silver is exactly the perfect result here. He wasn't going to beat Nathan barring an utter disaster, but silver was always within his capability.

I'm not over-concerned about his problems in the FS - I suspect the issue may have been with the ice, because Nathan was the only skater out of all 12 to skate clean, there were some truly bad skates out there. Had Jason been the only skater with issues in that field I would have been much more concerned.

More important, he got the quad out and stood up. Seeing his free leg stick wasn't something I was crazy about, but he stood it up which is an absolute positive step. I expect we will see yet further improvement in France, and silver sets Jason up that his GPF destiny is in his own hands.

I'm with you on the stress! But looking on the bright side, a silver medal is better than no silver medal, and it was good that both his 3As were called fully rotated.

I have to say though that so far, this version of SL doesn’t have the same magic for me as the first one did (where I really felt the three sections fit together and he told a story). Leaving aside that jarring, Ill-conceived split jump, at the moment the program just feels like beautiful movements strung together - not unlike the Simon & Garfunkel program of a few years back. I’m sure there was a reason for the changes, but it’s not making sense to me at the moment.

My impression is that SL is a work in progress. I feel like they should call Rohene in to sharpen it up, give it more emotion and punch. They won't, but the program needs more punch and definitely more emotion. Jason skates beautifully and can sell what he believes in. He believes in Sinnerman and it shows. He's still wrestling with SL. It would be nice with a well executed quad. But if the well executed quad doesn't materialize this year, it would be better with more content and no quad. We'll see where it goes. I anticipate that this program will be better in France. I'm not overly concerned about the split jump. Call it a soaring spirit and it works. If he can reach out more in that jump, it would be good. What I feel right now, is that he's not yet confident in his program, and once he is he will sell it to the audience and judges. That's not happening yet. I agree that the pacing and emotional content was better in the original, but that can all be integrated into the new choreo with some work and a lot of refocusing. This program as is, and as presented tonight was enough for this competition. So it's a good base to work from.
 
OK, I can say this among Jasonites, help me, I'm still so nervous:cry:. I should be happier after a silver at the GP.

We know Jason can skate Schindler's much better than that, and I want him to skate well, so that everyone (looking at you, US Fed) knows how wonderful he is. And if he needs to go back to tried and true choreo, well let's do it!

Maybe there is a chance it will be tweaked? From the GS article in the Edge

USA's Chen back on track; takes gold at Skate Canada

USA's Nathan Chen is back on track after a dismal outing last week at Skate America. On Saturday night, the three-time world champion secured his first

“I’m a little disappointed with my free skate, but the Grand Prix is an opportunity to find out what works and what doesn’t,”

Of course everything pales in comparison to the masterpiece that is Sinnerman. :)
 
I too preferred the 2020 version of this program and would rather he reverted. But Jason will weave a spell regardless.

The other thing is I wouldn't mind them parking the solo flip at the very start. I don't know, perhaps this is reaching, but a nice "settler" jump to get him into his legs, a comfortable jump he will never in a million years miss, to begin with, before the quad attempt, feels like it might help.

Or at this point, go the whole hog and just send it on the quad flip attempt. People are going to get stupid about it anyway apparently, so why not give them something to get really stupid about.
