As Tracy frequently says "He's just so special! He always has been. It's so great to have him in the mix.

They are so for us. Each time out is a gift for those of us who have followed him all these years....I am grateful every time he takes the ice.Also, congrats for the silver,but really, if you're a Jason fan you want that for him, but you want these skates for us.
Agree! It is always a gift to watch Jason skate. What an artist and great human being!

This has been a good start to the season. They have something solid to build on and time to build the structure that is needed. I'm excited!
I agree with everyone's comments. Kudos to Jason for his medals at back-to-back events. His programs both look great, especially for this early in the season.

It's especially notable when you look at the podium finishes and all 4 podiums are topped with a Georgian skater or team at Georgia's first challenger competition. I'm not surprised, but it's pretty blatant.

A new interview, (although more like a monologue since we never see the interviewer) with Jason. I would guess the clips are from the recent Olympics media day. Some new, some old, all Jason.
I want to see Jason's Notes App ... well, maybe not.

With three GPs completed, I compared Jason's results at Almaty and Tiblisi to the results in France, China and Canada. It's not without margins of error, as the judges are different and there is clearly some biased judging happening. But that was true of the two Challengers Jason skated. Jason scored 257.81 at Dennis Ten for 3rd place. Egadze scored 266.90 which put him in 2nd place after Mikhail Shaiderov. Shaiderov scored 282.22. At Tibilisi Jason scored 249.30 putting him in 2nd place. Nika scored 231.02, which landed him in 1st.
Jason's 257.81 would have landed Jason in 4th place in GP France. Egadze skated that GP landing in 3rd place at 259.41. Jason's 249.30 score would have put him in 4th place in France. On to China Either one of Jason's scores would have landed him in 4th place. Shaiderov skated China and earned 262.37 which landed him in 3rd. His Almaty score was 282.22. On to Canada. Jason's Dennis Ten score would have had him in 2nd place at 257.80. His Georgia score was 249.30 and would have had him in 4th place. Egadze scored 247.95 landing in 4th place.
What I note from this is that the trajectory for the scores has been generally down for this group of skaters in their 2nd early season comps. But All of their scores have landed them in the top 4 (top 5 for Egadze competing against Ilia) of any competition they've skated so far. Jason is solidly in that group.
Ilia is dominant, That goes without argument. But for US Men, Jason is solidly 2nd to Ilia's first thus far. Adam Si him Fa is 2nd to Ilia Internationally, so far. Shaiderov was close in Almaty, but in China he was well below his Almaty score. Add Daniel Grassl and Shun Sato to that group and a picture starts to emerge of the top group internationally this year. It's becoming very interesting. There are 3 more GPs to go. Ilia is done until the final. Alexander Selevko doesn't seem to have a 2nd GP yet, or he might be in that mix.
Jason will skate against Shaiderov and Grassl at SKAM. He will face Yuma and Adam in Finland. We haven't seen Yuma yet, but he''s definitely in that top group mix. So those two GPs will be tough! Jason will need everything he's got. But he's in that group to make top 4. Hopefully, his trajectory will be upwards now that he has 2 comps under his belt and more training time. Ilia already is on an upward trajectory. There's Ilia and then there's everyone else. The competition is Silver and Bronze as long as Ilia stays healthy. Jason does not go up against Ilia in the GPs. But the road is still tough!

Honestly, if Jason stays on his feet I think he has a strong chance to be on the podium at SKAM, and frankly, to win.

Agreed. Podium is a strong possibility if he skates well and commits fully to the program, which we know he does!

To update my analysis of scoring, NHK is done and both of Jason's Challenger scores would have had him in 3rd place. Next weekend, we'll get to see where his programs are and how he scores at his first GP. But at the moment, he is still USA #2. It's perhaps not a totally fair comparison, but scores are scores.
