Jason Brown

I'm also worried about Jason's training before the Games. What will he do? I assume Tracy needs to remain in Nashville for about two weeks. Will he go to Canada alone and train with Brian? I'm confused and worried because he needs that preparation to be ready in time.
Tracey will only have to remain in Nashville that long if she is symptomatic, as I understand Canada's re-entry requirements.

I don't know what Canada's rules are, but Tracy only needs to quarantine 5 days here. I suppose that if worse came to worse, they could both stay in Chicago and do the training there. US Figure Skating has a chartered plane for the Olympics. I don't know what Jason's travel plans will be. They could possibly travel with Team Canada if they go from Toronto. They'll figure it out. I believe that Team planes might be required for this Olympics to prevent exposure and transmission issues for the Athletes and probably coaches also.
 
Intro to the US team on the Today Show - the Men found out by EMAIL that they made the olympic team!!!! 😱 Jason showed his - I honestly thought there would be a better way of breaking the news to the athletes 🤦🏻‍♀️


Also, if you pause you can see he received his email at 4:15 - one hour thirty before the announcement. It clearly didn’t take the judges that long to decide!

IMO it would be better if the stay in Chicago. I hope Jason has ice time only for himself.
 
Oh I want to see the Exhibition (Peacock darn you for not having the gala).

I don't want to wander too far afield here, because in this place we stay happy for Jason❤️, but I have my doubts as to whether many of the Jason bashing commenters under the USFS postings are
1) skating fans;
2) could pick Ilia out of a lineup before this comp; or
3) real accounts connected to real people.

But the congratulatory messages in his IG are real accounts connected to real people, like Vincent Zhou (classy move), Scott Hamilton, Meryl Davis and Kirsten M-T (you are sunlight in human form).

Still relieved and happy. :)
 
So it was right after the medal ceremony. I don't think he knew then.
Soon after. He said they went to doping right after the medal ceremony and that's where he got the email. He didn't know during the medal ceremony. I'm glad that they didn't have to wait as long as we did. They probably wait for the doping test results to make the announcement. He learned that he made the team in 2014 in an email also, I believe. He was by himself and he texted his parents to come quickly. He went and hid in the bathroom because he was crying and he couldn't let anyone know why. This is how they do it apparently.

Vince has been classy throughout this whole Nationals. He went out of his way to give a shout out to Jason while being asked one of those dumb routine questions in the presser. Vince, Nathan and Jason are a TEAM! I agree with your analysis. I don't think most of Jason's detractors care about his skating. They have issues. No one will ever make everyone happy. Jason comes close! I've seen so much vitriol about Vince. None of it is warranted. You don't have to be a fan. But why be mean and nasty? There's no point to it except that it apparently makes them feel important.

The gala was live on Olympic Channel and can be rewatched here:

You need a VPN to watch it. But they are easy to get and free. I watched using a VPN. I missed the early part though. It was really fun to watch and different. Many of them skated to original live music. Jason really connected to his piece. I hope he uses it at the Olympics. It's a perfect piece of music for that.
