Painful as today was, I'm sure Ilia will learn from it. I can't begin to imagine the weight of the expectations on him; that's a lot for anyone to bear and we have to remember that he's still not much more than a kid.
If this was any other skater, we'd probably be thrilled at the performance. All those quads, backloaded to boot...maybe time to move a few to the 1st half?
Also, I could die for his razor-sharp camel spin. Go, Ilia!

It is a sport and now that all quads have been landed, athletes should strive to up their technical elements.
It is like a female skater winning with only doubles over a skater that lands 7 in the free skate. Quads are vital. The fact Jason finished in second place and has an outside chance of a medal at Worlds is a testament to the fact that skating still rewards artistry. But, a perfect clean Jason should never score higher than a clean Ilia or Shoma.
I like the way figure skating is progressing in the mens field.

I meant today
It looks like all of them except for Torgashev. 2021/2022 scores could be used too, so Jason didn't need to have competed this year.
I don't see it listed in Peacock's "2023 U.S. Figure Skating Championships - San Jose, California" section...so disappointing.

I don't think they've ever aired the Nationals gala live.

Loved watching Jason live again. I wonder when it was last time the top 3 were within .75 points of each other in the free? I'm tired....

What is often overlooked about Jason Brown is that his programs do have a high technical difficulty. Steps, transitions, spins...those are technical elements. Sure, he doesn't have quads, but to say he only has PCS going for him isn't accurate.

ISU Minimum Requirements
Looky what I found... ISU Minimum Requirements Reached the Minimum Total Elements Scores during the ongoing season (2022/23) or the immediately preceding season (2021/22) Can only be obtained in Senior International Competitions Click on each column to see skaters scores listed by country...

I’m guessing they will send Naumov, Pulkinen and Ma. Let’s see how accurate my guess is
After all, I did put Torgashev on my ballot in the predictions game!

He knocked my socks right off. He may have been shocked but he deserved the score!
