Jason Brown's Riverdance Short Program at Sochi 2014 | Music Monday 

Maia and Alex shibutani's PyongChang gala performance to 'that's life'!! It was amazing and I can't find it anywhere!

Alina's short program to Black Swan, with slow motions and kiss and cry.

This guy is my all time favourite too and like you, Im no figure skater. The recent quadruple leaping Russian named American is probably technically better, but I found his routine quite boring. It reminded me of those idiotic gestures the gymnast do on the beam in between doing all their clever stuff. This routine is extraordinary. I am a ballet lover though, so perhaps it’s the performance that matters to me just as much as the technicality. He totally entertain me and moves me on all levels. This is over 10 years ago and I’ll always remember it. There was a French guy about 26 years ago in the Olympics that dressed up as D’Artagnan and he was just incredible but he got third or fourth place. 🤷‍♀️

I've never been impressed by quads anyway. The revolutions have to be so fast in order to pull off a quad, they basically just look like a frenetic triple.

Not gonna lie, he lacks the consistency for triple axel too. But not all skaters need to be jumping machines and we definitely need people like Jason in the game.

@@jjk4891 Not gonna lie. He proved you wrong at Worlds with his 3A.

I can’t see the difference between a triple and a quad. Jason has something no other skater has.

I hadn’t watched this program until just now and at first I was like “this short program sure feels long”… lmao

I was very confused when he jumped the double axel. I was like why does he take the double as his axel jump in the sp, and then when he jumped the 3a3t i was even more confused, finnaly as he jumped the second combination i realised it wasnt a short program.

Correct, and you've hit on something I always say...the one thing that adds something so special for Jason is that he would also have made a great dancer...not many skaters have that (Robin Cousins had that ability, too). Plus he knows what kind of music to pick...something the audience can relate to...something that gets his heart racing, as well as the audience. Too many skaters pick such blah music...something you've never heard before and never want to hear again, but it sounds classical...maybe they're trying to impress the judges with that kind of music, but they should at least pick something from the classics that is more memorable!

@@lindanitzschke1315 This is the first time I have seen Jason skate. There are no words to describe him. Very talented and a great skater. Better than Scott Hamilton.

@@lindanitzschke1315 If you haven't already, check out his Sinnerman short program. He did it twice, this season and last season. It's among the best pieces of choreography on ice you will see.

@@lindanitzschke1315 Absolutely agree. And I've been saying for a long time that the Olympics needs an individual ice dance event to make up for what's happened to the sport in the last 10 years or so. I remember Robin Cousins, too, and I agree that he and Jason are cut from similar cloth. I hope that, once Jason has gone pro, he becomes a specialty coach to figure skaters, to help them learn something about line, grace, and flow.

@@lindanitzschke1315 you can really tell that he's logged many hours of ballet practice. He's truly incredible and imo far better than the others and the silly quads.

maybe like with the synchronized swimming have something to do with artistic creativity or maybe create an emotional capture category

We need an individual ice dance event. It's a crime that somehow, they figured out that lane for pairs, but not for individual skaters. Jason is a star who should have earned gold long ago.

Completely agree. It’s so ridiculous that skaters like this don’t get the medals and recognition for their incredible skating just because they don’t do an extra rotation in their jumps. I’d take a performance like this over a bunch of quads any day of the week. The judging system needs to be completely reformed.

his USA nationals of this program is perfect. I think at this moment... its simply not meant to be for him. He tried to jump quads on later yrs but he easily gets nervous or something and then his consistency get affected. Im glad he still got silver in USA national 2023. Kudos to him for keeping himself healthy and still ready to skate

Ну насчет русских принцесс вы конечно зря. За этими прыгающими принцессами стоит титанический труд. Каторожная работа фигуристок и его тренеров. Целого коллектива. Это огромное достижение пока не под силу никому. Но у этого парня действительно ЖИВОЕ катание. И сам он очень интересно преподнес свой номер. Браво

Me too

Yes!!! Especially this same program at the nationals in 2014. Pure magic.

I do as well :)

@@danielleyingling6740yes his nationals skate is one of my faves of all time!

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Heck, yeah!

Honestly, I barely noticed the fall - here's some next level sorcery from Jason

Recommend his US nationals 2014 version of this skate! It’s amazing!

Oh hey, same reason I’m back too, love it

Thanks for your comment,. I just saw some videos on RU-vid of 2024 and I wondered where he came in. Silver is wonderful, given that what he’s doing in skating now is developing the performance aspect of it, and not the competition. He’s come into his own wonderful joy of skating.

Because a quad jump is harder to perform. Personally I prefer ice dance and the artistry and skill of superior skating skills and footwork, but it's undeniable that a quad jump is an amazing athletic feat.

@@amaterasu777 I respectfully disagree. Quad jumps are difficult to perform but I am a fan of more than the quad. Beautiful flow out of a jump, footwork covering the ice and a performance from the heart are what matter to me. I am not a fan of the jump, skate, skate, jump which is popular now. None of the other skaters give me goosebumps. Jason always does.

@@susanperry5469Quads are boring. Jason soars.

Jason does such difficult and beautiful and perfectly executed spins I often think the same thing!

This skater is amazing and the best television producer of a skating event I have ever seen.

Olympic nerves strike again.

He still did well, even if it wasn't perfect. The crowd didn't do much to help him out. They were lame.

2 years later and he's still putting his toughest jumps (Quad, 3A) at the beginning. I wish he'd wait maybe a minute into the program and get his feel of the ice first.
