Jason Brown

[cheerknithanson]

I guess I'm just a little sensitive this week. Sorry. :sad41:

Every cloud has a silver lining. Perhaps some great good will come out of this. :yes:

And perhaps in more ways than one.

True. Someone who I follow on Twitter that's a Jason uber as well replied to Jason's tweet saying that at least he'll be able to spend Thanksgiving at home. I guess that is a good thing.

Some great good has certainly come out of it already.

I'm glad he'll be home for Thanksgiving. And I'm sure, without the wear and tear and stress of another competition, he will be fighting fit and raring to go for Nationals!

Go Brendan:agree: and hopefully he and Jason will meet at Worlds!

Sorry to hear about Jason's injury and withdrawal from NHK. Wishing Jason a quick and full recovery.

So can someone help me make sense out of the latest adorable drawing from Japan of Jason.

I get that Jason is the angel, but who is the devil? Google translate said Diet Georgia so that is no help.

Is that a Devil Hanyu? Max? whoever it is it is cute...

The thing is... no one is skating really seems to count as a "bad boy" I i find the idea of Max or Hanyu being the skating bad boy... well rather tame.

Han does seem to want to be a bad boy type but I just see him as adorably geeky, lol.

 

[Tavi...]

I guess I'm dumb because I don't quite get what the artist is saying about these two. Maybe nothing?

In this Icenetwork article on Hanyu's SP, Takahito Mura has something nice to say about Jason (The context: is 2 quads in the short going to become the norm, or can one be competitive without)

"He said, "A skater like Jason Brown didn't do quad, but he had good component marks and earned high GOE (Grade of Execution) with his good quality triple jumps. I agree with Hanyu, that it will depend on a skater's style."

Keep an eye on the men's competition at Golden Spin.

Jason may well win or at least medal in the Challengers Series this season. The only guys still on the Golden Spin entry list that might overtake him are Moris Kvitelashvili or Gordei Gorshkov of Russia or Adam Rippon.

Both of Jason's scores are about 10 to 20 points higher than any score by the three guys with a chance.

Actually Michel Brezina and Michael Christian Martinez will likely overtake him in total points by having been in three comps. It's total points so it's legit. He might have a shot at third and prize money though.

I think it is best of two actually.

Scroll down to Andrew Dodds. He has a 159.77, 139.62 and a 141.80 with total points of 301.57.
159.77+141.80=301.57. Total of all three would be 441.19

The way I would say it is:

Best two of three, if the skater competed at three Challengers.​

In other words, total points count from two comps per skater -- as Stitch noted.

ETA, the official ISU language:

At the end of the ISU Challenger Series, after the last event of the season has been concluded, the two highest final scores in the up to three different ISU Challenger Series events of each competitor/couple will be added and taken into consideration to form an ISU Challenger Series Ranking which will be published on the ISU website.

Yes, I was under the impression that although it's possible to take part in more than two events, only the two best results count towards the total.

deleted ... never mind.

 

[dorispulaski]

Not a lot, but better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

I hope I did not sound as if I were diminishing the amounts of Challenger prize money. Not my intention at all.

I have deleted my post to avoid any misunderstanding.

Thanks everyone. I really did think it was the total of all comps. So good to know it's the best of two and Jason has a shot at some prize money.

More so than the prize money I am glad he can go into Nationals (fingers crossed) as the Challenger series champion which hopefully will out weight his injury. Even with an injury withdraw he can still show he had a good fall season and is competitive with the world. I am hoping an challenger series win will counter act any stigma due to withdrawing, or thinking others are more deserving of a spot at worlds. I think it will help him more reputationally than financially.
