For me, the funniest part of the interview was the story about the SP costume - so now we know: Jason likes simple, and he's a drama queen about his costumes!

I instantly thought of you and Karne when he mentioned wanting to skate to a tango.
phil hersh is a negative person and Jason brown is avery positive person and estremenly talented the quads will come and when they do watch out. I don't like the way phil wrote the article. but that's phil hersh. all the skaters are very talented and it is a competition good luck too every one.

Well he wants to do something crowd pleasing, so maybe! Seriously I'd love to see salsa or Cuban son. But we'll see. I actually find his success with the current FS so fascinating, because listening to him speak - as high energy and...ebullient as he is - you'd never imagine he could do something so calm and beautiful. And yet I think it's grown into my favorite of his programs.
I thought it was really interesting to hear him describe that final 2-week push before Worlds that taught him he could once again rely on his stamina and training. As positive a person as he is, you can tell NHK was really difficult for him. So glad he's in the other side of it now!

So much for thinking the SP costume was for Hamilton, (and now who knows about Hamilton) when he's had it since October!
A welcome interview, with persons interested in what Jason has to say, and in letting him say it. And Jason's power of positivity.
(Also, I choose to believe the Google translate of the Japanese interview means that Dice thinks Jason is wonderful and even sexy. Just like Doug Mattis would have thought

Obviously this thread once again needs this reality check / reminder:
Just a few months ago, Phil included Jason on Phil's list of top figure skating memories. Phil included fifteen memories dating back to 1984 on his list, and Jason's Riverdance at Nats was one of them.
Phil put Jason right up there with Torvill/Dean; Gordeeva/Grinkov; The Battle of the Brians; Michelle Kwan; Yuna Kim; etc.
The list was published in the 2016 Skate America program as well as the Nov 2016 issue of Skating magazine.
I've added emphasis below:

... “I’ve been so lucky,” Hersh told SKATING magazine. “I’ve been able to cover Kim Yu-Na, Evan [Lysacek], Brian Boitano, Katarina Witt, Michelle Kwan, Kristi Yamaguchi, Scott Hamilton and now skaters like Jason Brown.” ...

Thx for all your comments, Mrs. P. :agree:

Actually, I don't. However, rather than derailing the thread further by responding to the trollish behavior I chose to turn the focus back on the subject of the thread: Jason Brown.
Jason Good Luck at Worlds!

Good Luck at Worlds!
The point of my post was that Phil has made clear that he feels lucky to be covering Jason (because Jason is one of the greats of the sport, in the same league as Michelle Kwan, etc.) and that Phil -- like you -- is interested in watching Jason.
And one of Phil's top figure skating memories is Jason's Riverdance.
I would take these compliments from Phil to Jason as de facto acknowledgment from Phil that other elements make up the sport besides jumps and as de facto credit given from Phil to Jason for Jason's excellence in those elements.
YMMV.
I join you in cheering for Jason.

That was totally worth aggravating my cold (the practice rink is freeezing)!
Sat about 4 meters from the ice. Jason did a few 3Loops and some good 3A3Ts. Popped a few quad attemps. FS RT was good, though not as good as the one yesterday (or the day before? The days run into each other). He's exactly as elegant in person as I imagined, and quite a bit faster! Huge charisma

Probably means no quad bc of how long he'll have to wait after warmup. But I'm betting he will handle skating last here just fine!

It's certainly possible to lose everything with a bad SP, so I think in general, playing safe while maximizing everything else if possible is a good tactic. I also think he should be just fine.

This is what I love about Jason's programs, the diversity of styles. Riverdance, T & I, and Scent of Love are such different programs stylistically and he is so talented to be able to interpret them all so well. Not to mention his earlier traditional classical routines, as well as some of the more upbeat shorts. I'd love for him to do something completely different next season, just to see what it would be.
Loved that IceTalk interview! It's well worth the time and the hyper to listen.
It's a small thing, but I like that Jackie mentioned the posters at the rink. It was also interesting to hear about going to Toronto for another new pair of interim skates that were easier to break while recovering from injury. I also enjoyed their joking about talking/not talking about the quads.Jason drew last
Go, Jason!

Some day we should set up a "what order will the skaters draw" contest in the general fora. All the Jason fans would win, or at least be secure in one spot.

:shame:
So different from when I was biting off my fingernails hoping that Michelle would at least pull a start other than 1st. She was the Kween of ladies as well as skating first.
