[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Figure skater Jason Brown is a beautiful skater. Stick to triples. I’d rather watch a well executed, perfect routine with no wobbles, falls, etc. Tired of all the Quadruple stuff that rarely come off smoothly. [/quote]

That’s what Stars on Ice is for, but the Olympics is meant to push the limits of what is possible. Faster, higher, stronger. Jason is a great skater but he is not the most artistic. I feel his scores reflect fondness for him, but I would have much rather seen Ilia compete at the Olympics. [/quote]

If anything Jason is underscored. As a former skater I have to say that aside from the jumps what Jason does is harder then what everyone else is doing. No one else has his edge quality or his mastery of the blade. We are just in a world now where jumps are so heavily valued and the sport is off balance.

"Aside from the hardest thing to do in his discipline, which he doesn't do, he does very hard things."

This very much has the feel of, "So, other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?"  [/quote]

This. Whether you like them or not and agree with them or not, the technical standards for being an internationally competitive figure skater exist and are very unlikely to change.

Brown skated well (though I do feel like I’ve seen him do that program better and with more emotion, including at Nationals), but he skated a 2005 program in 2022. [b]He’s very lucky to be even in the top 10, thanks to other skaters’ falls[/b].[/quote]

PP here - that's kind of the point - what is expected now is so difficult that it's hard to execute with any consistency. You get to a point where it's all a little robotic and not fun to watch.[/quote]
