Jason Brown, SP, Triple Flip, US Nats/4CC :luv17: :luv17:

This should be the winner, hands down. No jump was more textbook perfect all season, quad or triple.

And a timely reminder that a jump does not need to be a quad to be perfect.

1. Jason Brown, 3F, 4CC SP, but really anywhere. That flip is to die for.

2. Han Yan, 3A, 4CC SP. No one does a 3A like Hanee.:thumbsup:

I feel funny ranking jumps, since I'm not a connoisseur, so I'll stop here. :)

I like axels, so sue me. I have to talk sternly to myself in these things NOT to vote for particularly exquisite delayed single axels....

If only we could count Andrew T. as a senior. The Flying Torg at least deserves an honorary Oscar:biggrin:

Oh damn I forgot he was still a full time junior :palmf: but indeed, deserves an honorary Oscar, such innovation - in my eyes beats any quads :biggrin:

(1) What?? Torgashev has not been a full-time junior -- internationally or domestically -- for several seasons.
As a recent example of his senior international competitions, he won a Challenger silver at 2019 Asian Open Trophy.

(2) Hasn't Tomoki performed the same jump? IIRC, he and Andrew have talked about inventing the new jump together, if it is the one that I think el henry has in mind. #equalcredit

Example: Video of Tomoki performing the Flying Hiwatashi ;) in 2020 Four Continents SP:


(I am a fan of both Tomoki and Andrew. :ghug:
Not diminishing Andrew, but I don't want Tomoki to be forgotten.)

ETA:

Per post in Andrew's fan thread from Aug 6, 2019:

... I also just read somewhere (maybe Skating magazine, I’m sorry I can’t remember now) where he said he and Tomoki were fooling around and came up with the hitch kick jump that starts the StSeq in the SP.

Some fooling around:agree:
