2022 Olympics: Men's Free Skate

I do love a running edge, but you get more points for transitions out hmmm

This skate is challenging the system, they have to give him all the PCS!

 

[LadyB]

Beautiful ending pose! Well, he's happy!

 

[Jontor]

Interestingly, the swedish commentator/coach says that Jason has a bit of a Karen Chen problem. He can't get fast enough into the rotation, so no quad.

 

[Axel Rose]

Omg the Tracy and Brian synchronized jumping side by side. Still on the same team over 30 years after 1988 Olympics.

Unpopular opinion time: as exquisite as Jason's SL is, I still prefer Joshua Ferris

I don't know a single person who has seen both who doesn't have this opinion. Just a better constructed program.

That can’t possibly be an unpopular opinion; Joshua Farris was an incredibly beloved skater. He is an all time favorite of mine; an iconic skater who will never be forgotten!

Jason will be at least 8th. That’s awesome! Top 10 in his competition is great.

 

[Alchamei]

That pop did him second.

 

[kan01]

2nd, that's good!

BROWN Jason (USA)

Thank you, Jason! Just thank you. (Do I need to write words? Ah, fine!)

No quad attempt this around but a brilliant triples throughout the program - #F, 3A+2T, 3A, 3Lo, 3F+3T, 3Lz+1Lo+2S, and 2A. Many of these jumps deserve a +3 to +5 with exception to the 2A maybe. The clean performance was important just to show the glide, the movement, the pure and soulful artistry that he has. This is the Adam Rippon performance we needed - not the most technically complete but the most artistically complete. That was an Olympic performance of another kind.

So beautiful. So beautiful. I still preferred the first version of this program but he forces you to weep for the tragedy and the beauty.

Oh Jason, how do you do it? You are magnificent. Never let anyone tell you you aren't one of the blessings of this sport just because of no quad.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

commercials on the cbc stream?????

 

[Mista Ekko]

With respect, Those PCS are a bit excessive for Brown
but good for him

 

[WeakAnkles]

Verklempt.

Saying he needs to up his tech content is besides the point. He does what he can do. I was remembering how long it took him to get the 3A and now his 3A here was a thing of beauty.

I'd rather be completely, utterly verklempt.

 

[draqq]

Oh wow, if Jason had done that +3S, he might have put in first place over Hanyu!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Yeah!! Do it your way, Moris!!!

 

[satine]

Morisi....I just can't right now. Please.

 

[Tinymavy15]

Beautiful performance from Jason - I think the doubled sal was the only mistake?

Stunning. Beautiful. He could have done more on the tech side, really could have beat Yuzuru, even sans quad.

 

[Ziotic]

How did that get positive GOE?
