Jason Brown

I'm getting used to the unfairness and at least they did the right thing for the Olympics based on their own criteria. Vincent going to Worlds is the right choice based on placement, but not on the scoring.
If Jason does not go to Worlds, now I really don't see him retiring unless he gets a bronze individual medal at the Olympics or something. And I kinda would like him to retire for his own sake, even though, obviously, selfishly I don't.
But do you guys think Nathan will go to Worlds if he'll be Olympic champion?
In 2018 Adam Rippon was the one to withdraw, so there's still a chance, that is if they don't get cancelled.
I do not see Nathan going to worlds if he wins the Olympics. I think it will be a Japanese man myself. His costume certainly isn’t Olympic apparel. It does matter what you look like.
 
So is anyone else wondering if we are going to be seeing a lot of Mariah and Jason?

I could see NBC sorta framing them as a sequel to Adam and Mirai, especially with Adam back as a coach.

Anyway, i could see it happening.
 
I’m curious- was this info in an article? I’d love to read it!
It was a comment made by Jason that I read. I'll try to find it again. It might have been a post comp press question. But he said that he had both his own sports psychologist in the K&C and USFS sports psychologist also. I wondered who they were at the time.

Jason talked about his sports psychologist in the KnC in this Twitter thread:




So inspiring that he has been so open about his work with them.:clap:

Thank you! I couldn't find that again. I was pretty sure it was on Twitter and I looked, but didn't see it. I had been wondering who those two women were and was happy to see the explanation. Jason has a good support system. I'm sure he was concerned about Tracy, but the two women also helped to keep him focused and compartmentalize his upcoming task. Thanks to them for being there! And thanks to you for posting this.
 
I love all the new details in schindler's list. I still think I prefer the OG version - I miss the spin that changed positions perfectly in time with the music. However the step sequence is GLORIOUS - if you watch the olympic channel version you can hear Ben literally gasp at one point! I also love the transition into his 3Lz-eu-3Sal with the spiral, it's gorgeous!

I was so worried about how he would do and if he’d make the team that I didn’t even look at the new choreography. 😂 Will have to watch again.

Yes - he is really growing with it. (And I loved Ben's gasp!)
 
When they retire, I really want Yuzu or Nathan to rehearse and film themselves doing Sinnerman so that people might finally understand how difficult what Jason does is. I'm so tired of people who don't skate (or dance or do anything athletic at all) just throwing Jason's skills out as though they are ordinary and every single skater who can stand up can do what he does.

(steps off her soapbox...)
 
I don't know what Canada's rules are, but Tracy only needs to quarantine 5 days here. I suppose that if worse came to worse, they could both stay in Chicago and do the training there. US Figure Skating has a chartered plane for the Olympics. I don't know what Jason's travel plans will be. They could possibly travel with Team Canada if they go from Toronto. They'll figure it out. I believe that Team planes might be required for this Olympics to prevent exposure and transmission issues for the Athletes and probably coaches also.
Maybe Jason can stay in Nashville. I'm sure his friends Scott and Kori could find him some ice time.

I have often tried to imagine Jason skating to some of Yuzuru's programs. No later than yesterday with his exhibition program Change played by Monkey Magic, because I think Jason would like this music too and would be able to skate this program, with a very different rendering. Figure skating nurtures each skater's personality. But very very few other skaters could skate to it (Jason and Han yan for sure, who else?) Same for Sinnerman. And now that you've given the idea, I should very well like to see what the result would be with Yuzuru Hanyu. Certainly very different. At first I even thought it wasn't a program for him but I'm sure he would be able to give it a coherent meaning. Han Yan would be able to skate it too, but to convey a meaning? I know him too little to know.
I don't think any other competitive Singles skater could, because the program is too difficult technically.

Nice idea but based on the Covid situation and lack of masking there (I think the governor has actually forbidden mask mandates) I’d be out of Nashville ASAP. If he needs to stay in the US, there are a ton of rinks in the Chicago area where his family is (and where Rohene coaches) so that’s probably a better bet. I’m sure we’ll hear something soon (just as I’m sure we’re all double crossing our fingers that Tracy is okay and Jason remains Covid-free). 😊

Yes I also like the new details in SL. The transitions are beautiful.

Hahaha - that would be funny.
