… And Karen Chen for pairs would be too cute as well
Maybe Steve Brown was onto something
placed second.)So happens that today Karen Chen spoke of her dream to be an ice dancer.
The topic came up (unrelated to Jason) when she was answering questions on Insta Live.
Karen said that she has passed ice dance tests through Pre-Gold (IIRC). And that she never has skated pairs.
"My brother is living my dream of ice dancing," she said. (Pretty much a direct quote.)
So at Skate America and NHK, Papa Brown and Karen can put their heads together to turn their mutual dreams into a plan for K Chen + J Brown to qualify as a senior ice dance couple at Nationals some day. :yay:
(Off topic: Congratulations to Jeffrey Chen, who this weekend won Junior Dance at the Chesapeake Open with his new partner Katarina Wolfkostin. The other Browns
According to Conrad's latest Story, Brian is now in China. Complete shift change?It's crazy trying to keep track of who's where.
Is his SP anywhere near ready for prime time? Has he had any time working with David Wilson in the past month?
Seems odd to me
I may have to change my mind about not going. But if he’s really gonna be there, he’ll probably struggle with the altitude.
ETA He hasn’t had SP very long. I wonder if he would just do FS or Peggy Fleming.
.
I would be thrilled, but I’m honestly not convinced he’ll be there. He often used to debut his programs at Broadmoor, but in the last few years there have been a few times when he’s registered but not shown up.
And this particular situation doesn’t make much sense to me. Unless he’s posting pix after the fact (which is possible), he’s still Beijing. Even if he left today and flew straight to CS, there’s a 14 hour time difference. So he would only have a few days to overcome jet lag and adjust to the altitude (it’s about 6,000 feet in CS).
I suppose he could do it, but why? If the new programs aren’t ready yet, it doesn’t make much sense. It would make a bit more sense if he was invited to do the Peggy Fleming event. As Karne and Katmari say, event is tailor made for him, and but for the coaching change, he probably would have done it last year.
For the purposes of debuting his new competition programs, though, it seems like Philly or Glacier Falls (both usually end of July / early August) would make more sense. Then again, maybe the programs are further along than I realize.
Anyway, I’ll definitely check into it on Monday.
I do love that Jason is back to posting more again.

@Jeanie19, even if he goes, it’s unlikely that Evgenia would.
