Lucas B. wrote "fractured" in his post back in November (he had been scheduled to compete at CS Warsaw Cup after Skate America) - fingers crossed that my hearsay info that it was a stress fracture is true.

For those who can't access IG, Jason wrote that he has been facing a series of challenges adjusting to an equipment change and has been unable to train and compete at a level he expects of himself. He's working with his team to resolve this and return to competition soon.
I have a hard time thinking he will be named to the team with the way he has been skating. Isabeau from what we saw was okay even with the mistakes. Jason was just plain bad. This is coming from a fan of Jason.
Wellllll, I don't disagree with your assessment of how he's been skating not really instilling any confidence in me that he'll be ready in 2 months for Worlds, but I think the USFS will give him another 5 weeks to get his sh*t together. Or not - they may not look too kindly upon the fact that he skated in that show in Lithuania less than 2 weeks ago and then waited until the Monday of Nats to withdraw. Who knows?I have a hard time thinking he will be named to the team with the way he has been skating. Isabeau from what we saw was okay even with the mistakes. Jason was just plain bad.

Do we know if he landed any jumps in the exhibition?
Does it matter? The point is that he went and skated in a show instead of being in Toronto trying to get the equipment issues straightened out. And he was there for at least a day or two before the show - that's a good 4-5 days of training he missed. It calls into question, IMO, whether or not he was truly intending on competing at Nats after we saw how he was struggling this fall.
I think it matters that he could jump two weeks ago because that would show something positive. If he was just skating around and spinning or falling all over the place it just be another knock against him that he she had withdrawn earlier and he would not be a good choice for worlds. We have had skaters have equipment problems in the past and it has derailed entire seasons.
this is also my current wishlist. They've had the best combo of competitive results this season (also i just like them).

I think it’s a perfect mix. Even with just the 3A, it would be great for Jacob to get the experience leading into the Olympic season.
Yeah, I think that if the Top 3 are Malinin, Torgashev & Sanchez then we're looking at what was likely a messy competition from the likes of Ma, Pulkinen, Naumov & Hiwatashi, and it makes it really hard to put any of them on the team.

Yes, dear, Jacob does - that's why he competed at Tallinn Trophy in November.
Look, I know you're going through your feels because no one faxed you immediately with the withdrawal news, but some of us have other priorities this morning.
