.... You know, the sweet, innocent, charming All-American Boy vs the Evil Communist Russian.

Well who will that Evil Communist Russian counterpart be? Kovtun? You know Kovtun has a nickname among Chinese fans: crown prince（the heir to the throne of Russian skating monarchy)

Could be Kovtun, could be Gachinski (the real Prince, the true heir, thankyou very much!). Who knows? All we know is, the NBC will do it, because for whatever reason, the Americans still cling to the Cold War.

USFSA tweeted this video from the Champs Camp dinner. Jason flips out!

He does apparently have gymnastics in his past and it shows.

ETA, Brown apparently has chosen to study Japanese at college, per his latest tweet. :yay:

Hot off the press: new installment of Brown's season-long blog for IN.

A hodge-podge of good stuff. ​

Good stuff indeed!

I hope Jason has the nerve to say hi to Michelle or Chris Dean the next time he sees them

I hope so too. I would like to believe that icons like Kwan and Dean themselves would be honored to meet as great a skater and person as Jason.

ETA: With any luck, now that Brown is based in Colorado Springs, another chance with Dean is not unrealistic.​

The link below is to the gallery of five photos that are intended to accompany Jason Brown's blog. (But oddly the blog itself does not link to the photo gallery. :confused2: I stumbled upon the link to the photos on IN's Facebook page.)

IN's reformat has a lot of stuff that doesn't work just now.

Shirt on: regular, cute, adorable goofy little Jason.

Shirt off: My goodness. Definitely a man now.

For those who have wondered about a close show-biz celebrity connection evident from Brown's tweets, this article gives the back-story :

BTW, the article includes a photo of tiny baby Jason -- literally a babe in arms.

Too cool! And this is one way to raise skating's popularity/visibility!

With the Olympics coming up, it's possible that figure skaters may turn up on Hall's new show, also called The Arsenio Hall Show. Kristi Yamaguchi and Tai Babilonia appeared on the previous version.

 

[Binthere]

Arsenio is BAAAACK!

Worthwhile read IMHO with good details on assorted topics, such as his earliest experiences on the ice and with Kori Ade.

I now have a rather adorable mental image of a teeny weeny Jason with his big brown eyes fixed on that paper clip.

I'm not sure who I'm more terrified to see with that jackhammer, Jason or Rohene.

 

[babyskate]

Good Luck to Jason at Nebelhorn. I am so excited for his international senior debut. I suspect we will see greatness.

Honored and excited to be on practice ice with Nobunari Oda! I've admired his skating for years! He's incredible! ✨ pic.twitter.com/hBVywgpYvK

Aw, that is really cute to see Jason bit a bit fan boy-ish.

Level 4 adorable.

But admittedly my first thought was "Oh my god Jason is TALLER than Oda? Oda must be absolutely tiny!"
