I'm a Jeremy/Jason fan and I'm glad Jeremy won. He deserves his win and yes the short should count. Jeremy deserved that 99 plus score. As much as I love Jason he's just one step under skaters like Jeremy, Dai and Chan. I'm just soo happy Jason got past Max and now my 2 gems are going to the Olympics.

Big, big hugs to Max. I hope that he feels proud of his skates in Boston. Very inspiring young man.
Congratulations to Jason and Kori! And to Jeremy and Yuka.
Jason Brown received way overinflated PCS marks. He will not come close to those marks at the international level. I would have preferred Max Aaron have placed second and made the Olympic team. At least he has the technical content to compete internationally. Jason does not.
I'm afraid we are going to see another Olympics with only Davis & White making the podium for the US. None of these other skaters stand a chance.

It usually happens in an Olympic year. Pressure brings out the best of some of these skaters.

Wasn't his skate mesmerizing?
But I have a question. Why don't the two 2As fall under the Zayak rule? I don't understand the rules, I guess. I thought you couldn't do a jump twice without one being in combination.

Did you forget that Evan Lysacek won the last Olympics?

Well I don't think the U S committee will fiddle with the selection though argument could be made for Max of Jason it won't happen as Max was not that great on the GP. Very generous marking though I would suggest great for Jason he hit his 3A axels but if he misses them he could be like that surprising Candian skater Liam Firus and without the #a clean both could be penalized heavily in pcs - though Liam will get the worst of it as Jason at least has some skate cred with his junior medals and such.

While you're only allowed up two 2As in the freeskate, skaters don't have to have one done in combination for you to get full credit for them. Only triple jumps and quad jumps are subject to the combination rule.

If they use the criteria they used for the ladies, will max replace jason? or has the team already been announced. I don't know enough about either of their records.
Double Axel has its own rule since the 2010-11 season. Zayak doesn't apply. In fact, prior to 2010, you aren't limited in the number of 2A you can do. Zayak only applies to Triple or Quad jumps and supposedly, Quint as well.
