2021 US Nationals Mens FS: When you fall in a forest of cardboard people, do you make a sound?

[alchemy void]

Jason should have used lyrics.

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[Braulio]

There's still Uno and Kolyada to contend for that Olympic bronze, and there will likely be others too.

Aliev, Kagiyama, Grassl even could be in the mix

 

[Frau Muller]

WOWEE JASON BROWN!!!

This final flight of Men reminds me of the final flight of Russian ladies last month.

 

[peibeck]

Doesn't Jason know this music is cursed for skaters?

Popping an axel is not going to get him to climb that step on the podium, I fear.

 

[avivadawn]

I’m just glad that he at least rotated the 4T.

Also, the choreographic sequence into the final combo camel spin was beyond epic.

I’d like to see what this program looks like with a full arena and skated clean.

 

[genevieve]

This program from Brown is just incredible. Total Gene Kelly vibe, the choreography was complete throughout the program, and very detail was exquisitely done. That 1A though

 

[TAHbKA]

Yeah!!!! love that podium!

 

[bladesofgorey]

I mean just tremendous skating skills. But I found the program uninspiring and Jason had to work so hard to make it into something great.

 

[clairecloutier]

Really like that program for Jason. Great music, and the choreography shows off his lines beautifully without being too showy. Felt like he was rushing some of his moves just a bit—still amazing though!

 

[pinky166]

4th in FS, 3rd overall. Correct result.

 

[mjb52]

Pewter for Paniot...

 

[NinjaTurtles]

If Jason wants to do Gene Kelly he should do the Toulouse Latrec cafe dance from the ending of An American In Paris.

 

[dinakt]

I am sad this is over... huge thanks to all the skaters

 

[Hanna]

That 3f

 

[tony]

That overall score was actually really close to Paniot - much closer than I thought it would be.

Imagine if Jason had fallen a second time and then his PCS was limited to 90.50 or whatever the max is with multiple errors.

 

[VGThuy]

The program has everything to make me love it but I don’t. It’s missing that something extra despite so much it provides.

 

[Rukia]

Really like that program for Jason. Great music, and the choreography shows off his lines beautifully without being too showy. Felt like he was rushing some of his moves just a bit—still amazing though!

It definitely needs more mileage, and I feel like that was part of the reason he popped the axel.

 

[Braulio]

96.10 PCS

 

[Amy L]

Orser got a better square on the screen this time.

 

[Sylvia]

I feel like that program was beneath him, especially compared to that amazing short program.

In spite of that, I'm glad he got the highest PCS.

 

[Lis]

Love Jason,don't care about the jumps.
Really like this Paniot guy too

 

[Yazmeen]

If Jason wants to do Gene Kelly he should do the Toulouse Latrec cafe dance from the ending of An American In Paris.

Oooooooh...

 

[ChelleC]

Aliev, Kagiyama, Grassl even could be in the mix

I would add Daniellan to that list.

 

[Erin]

I think we're the only ones who love this haha

I loved it too! And I normally am lukewarm on Jason and actively dislike Slaughter.

 

[rfisher]

There's still Uno and Kolyada to contend for that Olympic bronze, and there will likely be others too.

Kagiyama.

 

[mjb52]

Aliev, Kagiyama, Grassl even could be in the mix

Samarin...

 

[VGThuy]

As I said in the SP thread, you just never know how the results will shape up. If other men delivered in both the SP and LP, things could have been dicey and the worlds team wouldn’t have been a foregone conclusion.

 

[slicekw]

So Jason did his quad, and that's fine, but to miss the 3A makes doing the quad a waste. He's got a lot to do to be ahead of a few of these guys next year.

You and I both. So many details and transitions--I want to re-watch immediately!
