An interesting article from May about Jason's last season and prep for the upcoming season. I don't recall seeing it previously, though it may already have been posted here earlier:
Off-Season Adventures with Jason Brown: https://usfigureskatingfanzone.com/...g-off-season-adventures-with-jason-brown.aspxI guess this is probably unofficial, but the Nebelhorn Trophy's page, does list a couple of the planned competitors (translation provided by Google - so if spelling/grammar/weird errors, blame the bot):
"... The popular American Jason Brown wants to present his new freestyle on "Schindler's List" in Germany for the first time in front of an audience."
And we eagerly await seeing you!A new article about Jason as he prepares for Skate America.
Brown is looking forward to debuting two new programs this season: a short program to Kaleo's "I Can't Go On Without You," choreographed by Rohene Ward, and a free skate choreographed by David Wilson to music from the 1993 drama Schindler's List.
"The short program is very sultry and fun and has a good beat," he said. "I like the darker, cool undertone to the program; I just absolutely love it. I think it shows off a little bit of my personality and I hope that the audience really gets into it and enjoys it as well.
"Schindler's List is a piece of music I've always wanted to skate to. I'm really excited that I'm doing it this year and it's very powerful, emotional, strong and captivating, but also dark, and I just really hope to pull the audience in and take them on a bit of an emotional journey. I love that program and I'm just so eager to get out in front of an audience."
The first few seconds - the look, the moves, as he took command of the ice and the entire arena. Loved the costuming as well.And this one never grows old. It will go down in history on the list of the greatest performances in figure skating: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J61k2XjRryM
But, he did say, at the end of the season (sorry can't remember exactly where I read that), that he was starting to rotate his quad. Since he hasn't yet landed one deemed fully rotated by the judges yet, he's not known for landing them. Maybe why that is missing?I realized what was unusual about the Jason article I linked to.
There is no mention of quads- what he's tried, what he's working on, what he needs to have.
It's a fluffy fluff piece and maybe that's why the quad struggles go unmentioned. But it is noticeable (by me at least, after a good night's sleep) that there are no references to them at all.
