I noticed that the US judge was being very critical. And she wasn't necessarily unfair. But she was not propping him up. He is definitely not at his peak at the moment. But, this time, it was enough. He was not going to overtake Nathan. 2nd place was the goal. And he got there. Nathan hasn't peaked either. It's an interesting season.
Jason with a clean quad, does have an advantage over skaters who have one or two clean quads. But the incidence of consistent clean quads from anyone is uncommon except for a handful of skaters. I think Kurt did finalize his remarks at one point by saying "Get a quad Jason." Of course, if he gets one, the naysayers will complain that he only has one. But most of the skaters only have one. They may try more than one. They very rarely land more than one. And it does detract from the program. In this case, I don't think Jason's under-rotated quad detracted much, but the fall on the 3A and the spin error did. I attribute these errors to the injury and lack of confidence in that program. I think he should keep trying to land that quad with full rotations and on one foot. He's got EVERYTHING ELSE! That's the only thing he lacks. One consistent quad. That's it!
On a positive note, it's better to rotate and fall than pop into a single. He may have not fallen, but he popped the axel at US Nationals 2021 and at the World Team Trophy. He had this thing of popping axels when he was not at his peak. This season he at least rotated all 6 of them--I see this as a big plus. At Worlds he also had two not very good axels out of the three, but managed to land them.

That’s funny. Melancholy was beautiful!!!https://www.another site.com/r/Figu...ason_brown_skate_canada_2021_gala_exhibition/
The exhibition was to "Melancholy" and was particularly wonderful. I swear, even Jason's eyelashes are exactly choreographed to the music
I prefaced that remark by saying the "if Brenda was correct" because I don't know if she actually had access to the facts. But if her statement was correct, that injury was more serious than a "tweak to the foot." I hope I didn't misspeak. I don't know who Brenda is either or where she got her information, but it was certainly interesting.
It’s possible Jason was off the ice that long because there were pictures of him outside, but not skating. Regardless, he is slowly recovering and we hope he will continue to get stronger.
I‘m sorry, I didn’t mean misspeaking about what was actually said in the clip!
I loved the mid section in the first program of SL. When he goes closer to the judges with his hand up and looks up - none of that now. I like the new middle sec music, but not the steps. I guess they need to bring David Wilson back-in to fix this. More drama is needed.Personally, I still prefer the orginal version - it felt more personal. Perhaps I will change my mind as time goes on.
As for the quad: fixed in my mind is still that very beautiful, very wonderful attempt in Stockholm. That was our preview, that was our demonstration of what can be. All he needed was a little more confidence, a little more time. I am sure he will get there. He stood up in Vancouver, albeit with a sticky leg, but I am sure we will see a better attempt in France, with better 3As, and then we can start making better judgements.
Still, imagine the wild reactions if Jason licks the stamp and sends it on the 4F.

It was asking me to sign in so I didn't see it. But Shoma and Jason used to fool around a lot and were frequently at the same competitions. It was fun to see them together. The first live comp that I went to was SKAM in Chicago and Shoma was there and Shoma won and Jason came in second. Adam Rippon was 3rd and the after medal ceremony romp on the ice was epic. They couldn't get them off. It was hilarious. Shoma started it. They were making sure to talk to everyone in the crowd in the stands who wanted to talk to them. And they were goofing around together.I was cleaning out some old files and ran into this gem! I was shooting Shoma's practice but getting little bits and pieces of Jason too. Love the part at the end where Shoma is jogging to get out of Jason's way!!!! Wow, ponytail and all, 5 years ago. Thx for all the memories guys!

I remember this so well. It was SO funny. Eventually, Shoma listened and left the ice. Of course, Jason had to keep talking to his fans. Finally Kori yelled "Jason Brown, you are grounded!!!!" Everybody was dying laughing! I think they were waiting for the guys to come to the press conference, and they couldn't get them off the ice. Such fun memories! I remember Jason had a beautiful skate at that competition.
