If you remember it was Tracy Wilson that came to bat for Jason for him to train at TCC. I think Brian knew of his gifts and talent, but kinda didn't realize how powerful he could be when he did a clean program.
I think Brian realized he had something special at his hands (if he didn't before). As he told Jason "YOU DID THAT"
And yeah at Jason -- he seemed really focused and intense.
So here is what Jason said:
“Today I just tried my best to be as calm, confident and focused as I possibly could be and I did that throughout the whole program,” Brown said.

It will be interesting to see if he can sustain that calm, confidence, and focus tomorrow. He’s supposed to open with a 4S which he’s popped both times he’s tried it in competition recently. I hope he stays calm and focused and really goes for it tomorrow, even if he falls. And then keeps going.
It will also be interesting to see how people react to him closing out the men’s competition with the S&G free skate, since it seems to be an acquired taste for many people.
