Teleconference with Jason Brown: Although he continues to work on the quad, Brown does not plan a quad jump in his programs for Nationals, but he feels he still has as good a chance as anyone to make the Olympic Team, citing Evan Lysacek’s win in Vancouver as inspiration. He has been training well working on consistency and more flow in both programs, and making everything look effortless. He is working with a sports psychologist. His first year on the senior international circuit has been a confidence booster and he’s really excited to compete in Boston.

Thanks for the full report, KKonas.Though given the amount of grief Evan got on these boards for winning the Olympics w/o a quad, I'm hoping Jason doesn't get the same amount should he make the top 2 at Nationals...
Jason is a thousand times more:
- likeable
- artistic
- fun
- enjoyable
- better costumed
That'll make a difference.
Just off Shibutani press conference. Very chatty. Highly recommend listening to it when Icenetwork puts it up. They replaced the middle section of their Michael Jackson FD music (Ben) to "Man in the Mirror." They changed some of the choreo including a spin and the choreo lift. Alex was born in Boston and his parents met while both attended Harvard. He is looking forward to competing there as he is still a big fan of Boston athletic teams. He and Maia are taking independent studies at U of Mich. Alex is now looking at a career in film and film production.
Woah, that's huge. They really liked that Ben piece too and they really made an effort to try something different with it by getting that string quartet involved but I agree that it didn't quite work with the rest of the dance. Man in the Mirror will be a better fit.
Looking forward to hearing the call later. Thanks for the report, KKonas!
hwell:Gracie Gold says she is very happy with her move to LA. She is there with her sister and mom. She feels like a different person, a different skater. New SP to Grieg Concerto (Adagio) choreo by Lori Nichol. Frank has been great. He thought her overall skating was too "frantic." She has learned a lot this year, learned to take her time, take a breath, trust her training. She said she rarely misses the triple Lutz/triple toe in her program and has performed her new SP at the holiday show at the Toyota Center. Likes being around other top skaters - sees Denis Ten almost every day, and other skaters often stop by. Felt Chicago was a little isolated with lack of other top skaters regularly at the rink. Looking forward to Boston.
. Finally, thank you Frank
, i hope she is working hard in that aspect.Last teleconference. Adam Rippon says he is a different skater from 4 years ago. His performance on the GP season this year gave him confidence and showed that he is ready to be US champion. The quad jumps are going well. Plans a quad toe in both SP and FS. He had the flu recently which hindered his daily training, but he is fine now and back to regular training schedule. He says he is still "hungry" but feels he has improved his skating overall. (My "smart" phone died on me battery-wise so that's all I have to report.)

Neither have any of the pairs. Kind of bummed Icenetwork seems to have forgotten them as I think that will be an exciting competition this year.
I really enjoyed the Shibutanis' conference. Obviously I'm a huge fan, so that was a given, but I was especially impressed at how through they were at answering the questions. And how honest they were about some of the challenges in the career (namely having to change their SD at the beginning of last season; I could read between the lines that that SD was not exactly their favorite).
And Alex showed his usual humor. "Masshole" about Boston sports, heh.
Jason Brown's conference was great. I liked he was to the point regarding the quad. He sounds very confident! Hope that means good things next week!

I'm not American and not a subscriber and I could listen to Jason's just fine...maybe an error?
I could listen to Jason's interview, Ross's, D/W's, Ashley's, Max's, and Agnes's. I didn't try any of the others. I've only had the subscriber problem when I tried to listen to Gracie's.
