Thx Tavi; interesting that the first sighting of Jason this year will be at a jump competition
And Courtney Hicks seems to think that Jason is the No. 1 man on "Dolensky's Destroyers":

As much as I love Jason, I have to say I think Alex K. might have the edge on a pure jump competition. But we know Jason is number one in everyone's hearts

Maybe "lady no 1" and "man no 1" just means they're up first?

After seeing AlexK last night and today in person, I agree with that. He was rock solid. Pooja also did well. I think Team Delinsky might have a chance!
I'll go with that. It's also the order that they're listed.

Friendly mention that the name of Tim's team is Dolensky's Dynamos.
I can't help pointing it out b/c Tim seems like such a gentle soul :luv17:. Would seem quite out of character (IMHO) for him to pick Destroyers as a name.
Not saying that Tim does not want to win and not saying that he does not want his team to compete their hearts out.
I just think that Dynamos sounds a lot more like him than Destroyers.
Off topic, but one of my favorite photos of Tim
:Back on topic, so happens that teammates Jason and Tim had dinner together tonight at the OTC -- with bobsledder Lauren Gibbs
, who is an absolutely awesome friend-to-all-skaters:

I love that picture! I have a soft spot for Tim and enjoyed seeing him skate live yesterday as well as seeing him cheering for the other skaters. Tim does such a good job throwing himself in the air. Now if only he could get his feet under him more often.
Rohene was at the Open with Lee Graham, the guy who is shooting the choreographic series. Lee is apparently now on the staff of 7k. I'm curious in what capacity - his background is interesting. Speaking of choreo, I'm intrigued by Jordan's new short choreography. I think it was the potential to be really good, but it requires some very fast movements to keep up with the music. He's not even close yet, but I think it could be awesome.
Oops, this is Jason's thread. Can't wait to see his choreo whenever that happens.
Good to know! Thanks for checking on that.

@Rosa74, thx so much for the first-hand reports!
this may be Jason's thread, but I'm sure everyone appreciates *any* observations and first-hand scoops you have from your attendance at Broadmoor. I do love me some Timmy D spins, even if I find his music choices, um, challenging.... and that Lee Graham is now at 7k? Certainly an eclectic group(and @ice coverage is absolutely right about the Dolensky team name, oops. Wishful thinking on my part
Go Dynamos!)

Well, Jason had some trouble with both his 3As, but....
Anytime I see *anyone* posting about how TCC or WTT is a cheesefest, I will ask them if they saw this comp.
And to be as cool as Christopher Dean rocking a bespoke suit holding up numbered cards at a cheesy jumpfest.
Goals.

Agreed.
I actually like the Team format for this competition but I can't really figure out why he did it unless it was for charity. It seems like Alexei was the designated quad guy for the team.

They were raising money for the JDRF. Also, there was prizemoney up for grabs for the winning team. I understand his thought processes.
Likewise, I understand Josh's for not doing it (there were a lot of very hard falls this morning which I feel like the format may have contributed to) and Max's for taking it very seriously (those quad toes were money).
*shrugs*
I kind of like the scruffy, not-quite-shaven look on him (and I was sad that Max had shaved, but not sad about that top. hahaha.)

I suppose the charity/fundraising thing is the likeliest because even the prize money for the winners isn't much divided among the team members.
I guess I expected to see him use it as an opportunity to try quads, so I was a bit surprised. Oh well.

Some of you might have seen the awesome fanart (including a few incredible popup cards) made by Yonk from Twitter. She has created a cartoon of her experience at the fan meeting during WTT, it was so cute (and any of us who ever met him in person could surely relate!) I thought it deserved a wider audience. So with her consent I made an English version. Enjoy :agree:

I'm really worried for Jason this up coming season . I suppose being a bit of a over zelious Jason fan. heck I love the guy he my favorite sater I just don't want him too get so far behind in the world standings of figure skating. nd any skating fan already knows whatim talking about . the here it is the big q word .quad. god I am really starting too hate that word. I know its unfair of me too say it and there are so many great skaters out there that can Easley perform it a hundred times heck probably even blind folded buti would just like too see Jason Jason perform it and yes even master it. so he can still compete next too the great quad masters ifeel the time is running out and with the Olympics coming up I would really love too see him be able too go. and even posibably even win a medal for the usa time is so short and he is such a great skater in so many ways I am still keeping my fingers crossed for this season.and I will be watching every compition overall I fill our us men and ladies skaters need a lot of catching up too do in compairing too the restof the world ranking skaters outthere. 2018 world Olympics figure skating will be very interesting in the up and coming season. iwish all of our usa figure skaters the best this upcoming season including Jason brown and gracie gold .

I'm so glad you posted this here! I was really taken with the cartoon and with Yonk's description of the meeting of the Jason fan club at WTT. I'm actually impressed by the entire Japanese fan art phenomenon, and hers are a step above. To be able to read the cartoon now, despite my non-existent Japanese, is even better. (And as horrible as Bing or Google translate can be, they at least translate something. Can't be done in a cartoon, except the old-fashioned way.
Kudos to Yonk and thank you for the translation!

Glad you all enjoyed the cartoon! I wish I had a talent like her but unfortunately I don't, so this is the least I can do! She was also happy that I translated for her, so perhaps I will be her official translator in the future :hap85:
