Competition is over! Jason did it again! The Dream is not Impossible! Waiting for the Medal Ceremony. My nerves are still calming down. He is INCREDIBLE!!

Second again Bravo

After competing only once the entire year, basically a "throwaway" warmup competition.

Even more important for me: the audience adored him. Just adored him. Did I mention they adored him?

It does my heart good to see Jason soaking up that well deserved applause.

I think he will focus on the errors with the jumps in preparation for Worlds. I feel like every competition we get to see him skate is just a bonus. Getting a Jason fix this weekend was the best.

And another accolade. for Jason

Jason was awarded tonight the "Button-Salchow" Trophy.
The Trophy that was gifted personally from Ulrich Salchow to Dick Button, then to Misha Petkevich, then to Paul Wylie

And now to Jason

Rohene has a fancam of the ceremony:

Guys … GUYS I’M SEEING JASON LIVE IN MONTREAL!!! MY FIRST (and probably only) TIME SEEING HIM SKATE!!!!

I’ve been nervously holding my breath since I bought tickets, I kinda assumed it was a given that he’d been there but I don’t think I realised how anxious I was until I literally could not watch the free skate last night … So when it was officially confirmed he’d made the team I cried myself to sleep lol! I’m so so so made up for him, and I can’t wait to see him at Worlds!!

Best moment of this championship is Jason getting the Button Salchow Trophy for changing the sport, high artistry, and making the world a better place.

But why did they give him a tea tray rather than a trophy?

It's so gratifying to see the love demonstrated to Jason by the fans - and the obvious respect from his fellow skaters. It just goes to show that if you continue working, staying true to yourself, and not listening to the outside noise.....you'll "win." Kudos to Jason.

My little gift to the Jason Fan thread



I didn’t take many pics on Sunday because I just wanted to enjoy the last day of skating but I managed to sneak this one in during Jason’s FS. I was thinking of the GS Jason Fans while I was lucky enough to be watching in person and I really wanted to share a little moment for those that couldn’t be there.

I’ve seen Jason skate live a few times before but never in a competition let alone such a major event. It was a moment I’ll always hold close. The way he connects with the audience is something really special.

And a beautiful gift it is @Sam-Skwantch! Thank you.

 

[noskates]

Thank you for thinking of us Sam - the picture is beautiful.

I finally saw Jason's exhibition skate with the live musicians. It was lovely! And Johnny and Tara were very complimentary. Take the time to find a video. It's currently on Peacock. Apparently Jason approached the orchestra and suggested the collaboration. And they said yes!

I don't believe it! Amazing.

I was there and it was wonderful. Jason was the poster (Man) for USFS. While promoting National’s with Brian B last summer, they met with officials around the city. One was the Symphony and he told them he has always wanted to skate Live to an Orchestra. They agreed to do it, then he asked USFS. It was so beautiful. They sent the music to his phone and then he performed in front of them.

It was a lovely performance and they said they didn't even have a rehearsal. It just worked and Jason skated with the music. Andrea Joyce interviewed him also, and talked to him about his pro/am career, which she described as going quite well. He also said that Riverdance made him want to concentrate on his performance quality, because so many people loved that program. It was responsible for the trajectory his career took. Ro knew what he was doing!

Seconding all the other recommendations, if you can find the complete gala skate for Jason, you owe it to yourself to watch it.

Jason was mesmerizing.

Only Jason could take a Tchaikovsky piece for string sextet (souvenir de Florence), meld together signature Jason moves and come up with this kind of performance. Even though we all know it was on the fly, he crafted a skate that fit the piece perfectly.

 

[dorispulaski]

Jason was just wonderful

What a lucky audience to see that!

It's interesting to hear from Jason that he considers himself a professional skater who is attempting to navigate a joint part time career in amateur skating competitions. But he views himself as a professional skater first. Competing is the icing on the cake, I guess.

^^ I think we all like cake
