I could not bring myself to even look at scores, let alone watch Jason's programs, until after the event. I have seen skaters I loved try to skate with concussion effects, and I could not bear to see Jason in a similar state, looking nauseated in the KnC.
What a joyful surprise that Jason skated well with two 3As in the FS, and a silver medal! I cannot get enough of the step sequence in the SP! The commitment to every movement, every beat of the music, the landing the jumps on the beat of the music, the spirals in tbe FS, the dramatic, appropriate ending in the FS.
But SL is not yet the three hankie emotional experience I expect later in the season...it will grow! And what a joy to see it develop.
Lynn's article...this struck me most.
With Jason landing a new skill, it always has been about the confidence he could do it before he actually would land it. If he has the confidence, it will come.
His jump air position is tighter than even last year, and his speed of rotation correspondingly faster.
Thank you to Rohene and David who have given him great programs this year. And thanks to Jason for giving wonderful performances.

It's the step sequence in the SP I keep going back to. That choreo is a masterpiece and the way he goes into that brief bluesy jazzy section hitting every beat makes my dance-loving heart soar. I love the look of this program, and the way he looks in it. Maybe it's the costume, but as someone said earlier, he looks so much more mature doing it. I really do like the sp costume. Those short sleeves suit him. I like the long program as well, but not with the same level of awe as with the short. The choreo is good, certainly better than last year, but I think what sets it off is that Jason is so committed to it. I love the spiral but my favorite part might be the abrupt stop and pose right out of the 3A. That cannot be easy. I'm going to love watching this program evolve. Overall, I'm thrilled with how good his skating looked at his first competition. What a strong person to be able to put these programs out there at this time. 
and then Jason.
