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.

But he believes the breakthrough will come.
“It’s one of those things where I know I’m capable,” he said. “It’s a mix of its frustrating, yet it continues to drive me forward.
