Wow. Thank you, Sylvia!
It is always incredibly touching when other elite skaters, who themselves skated with artistic integrity, show real appreciation for their peers. Jeremy gets it a a lot. From John Kerr calling Jeremy's Beatles SP the best SP he's seen to Yu-Na Kim mentioning last year's Flamenco SP as one of her favorite programs to this blog.
Thank you Kim Navarro.

I feel very much as Kim does about Jeremy.
His skating seems on another level from what most others attempt.

Interestingly, Jeremy is listed on USFS' International Assignments page for Challenge Cup in The Hague, Netherlands (March 8-11), a Senior B 2 weeks before Worlds.

Ah yes, thanks for posting that Sylvia, and thanks to Kim for your thoughts about Jeremy. (I love you and Brent too!)

And thanks to Jeremy for sharing with us his amazing talent. What great moments at Nationals he gave to us all. It was unforgettable... mere words are not enough to fully express what Jeremy has wrought with his performances of Muse Redemption (Exogenesis Symphony Part 3).

And the Swing sp is such fun! ITA with the thoughts of John Kerr too.

ETA: I also love this exhibition performance to Rhythm of Love (Jere said at 2011 Nats that this exhibition was his first attempt at choreographing for himself)

I wish a "silver medal" could have gone to Nathan's free skate. His and Jeremy's free are the two I watched over and over.

Jeremy's sister, Gwen, has written a vivid account of what she and her family experienced in the stands of San Jose Nationals during Jeremy's free skate: http://skatingmagazineblog.com/2012/03/05/four-minutes/

Good luck to Jeremy at Challenge Cup in The Hague later this week! The good news is that an official YouTube channel has been set up by the competition organizers so there will be videos to watch!

Thanks Sylvia. What a scary ordeal for Jeremy's family I am glad everything turned out alright.

[skatesindreams]

What an amazing and lucid narrative!
I'm so glad that Mr, Scott is doing well.
I was very concerned for him.

Thanks for posting and sharing Gwen's experience at Nationals, Sylvia! I am very relieved to hear that Mr. Scott is doing better. Gwen's emotional account made me a little teary-eyed, but I am very glad that this experience ultimately had a happy ending. It's terrific news that the organizers of the Hague Challenge Cup have set up a youtube channel for all of us very appreciative fans!

Will Jeremy retun to USA after competition in Holland? I am a little nervous about him and Alissa. Two trips to Europe during 2 weks - its OK?

Just tweeted by Abbott today: "So happy to be home and greeted by such a beautiful day! #teeshirtweather"

Thanks for the link. Good to know he's okay.

Abbott's positive-sounding tweet tonight: "Did what I needed to do in The Hague. Excited for the next 2 weeks of training & thankful for the support of my federation"

[Marco]

For Abbott, it really looked like it was more about getting the bad skate out of his system...

A pity that Jeremy's and our dream about the podium didn't come true. But still a wonderful skate at the FS - to me it seemed that Jeremy was more into the program throughout it than at some of the previous, technically much better skates (his USA Nationals performance in particular). At least for that I am glad . One more thing that I regret, though, is that we won't see him at the exhibition . I so love his 'Hometown Glory' program.
