2025 Skate America Mens Short - Quadless in Lake Placid

I had to go to a birthday party and missed the men. And it is not on Peacock now! Maybe they will put it up tomorrow, one can only hope.

Did you check for the Pairs SP tile? It was shown all in one without breaking between the disciplines, so it's probably posted there.

Yup. Click on the Pairs Short Program tile and fast forward about 1hr & 15 min in for the Men's SP.
 
I went back and looked at Jason's 3A, and I cannot tell why it got downgraded. I could barely perceive any under-rotation. I'm not questing the judges, I'm just too green to recognize why it was downgraded. Can anyone explain it to me? I realize it's hard to explain via text and not narrating a slow-mo video.
When I watch it back in slow-motion I see the front of Jason's blade hit the ice facing towards the camera, and be clearly under-rotated.
 
After Shoma's retirement, I've been greatly admiring but not loving any of the Japanese. It might be time to uber Kazuki.
You're welcome to join the Kazuki users, but brace yourself for the emotional roller-coaster. :D I will say the highs are VERY high, though!

ETA: Ubers, not users. Darn you, autocorrect. :lol:

I became a Kazuki fan when he replaced Daisuke Murakami at NHK, 2017..I remember what I tweeted when I saw his performances. I never said that he was the "best" skater..but..to me..he has the "IT" factor..I appreciate a second alternate doing his job at Worlds..on 2 occasions..I love him..

He is top 6 at world at 3 different occasions. I am rooting for him.
 
I just re-watched Jason's Riverdance from 2014 and I have to say, I do prefer the most current version. The 2014 seemed to me to be a little more empty; more just skating around, setting up the jumps. His jumps were better, but his choreography was not as good, I feel.
I remember an interview from back then saying that he had to conserve energy for the step sequence. When Rohan’s first proposed it, young Jason could barely get through it. By Nationals, his stamina was better, but the “conserve” was still in his head.
 
I started thinking about how happy I was that I didn't attend Skate America to see Jason Brown skate. It's because of a dream I had a few years back. I dreamed that I was with Casper the Friendly Ghost. We were sitting in the front row, and Jason began skating his short program. Casper was okay when he wasn't excited. If he became excited, he would become huge and eat people. The only thing that would stop Casper from eating people was marshmallows and I always kept a bag with me at all times.

When Casper saw Jason, he became so excited because he was doing his river dance short program. He suddenly became so huge, and I knew what Casper was about to do. I was throwing marshmallows at him like crazy, and it took 3 bags of marshmallows to calm him down!

That's why I'm glad I wasn't able to attend because more than likely, that dream may have come true!! :lol:
