We celebrate the highs and we try to mitigate the lows, and we’ve had them all." What. A. Ride! 💙✨ Still processing everything, so for now, I’ll let my skates speak for themselves. I gave it my absolute all, and poured my heart into those performances. Hope you could feel that through the screen. Sending so much love to everyone back at home! Thank you.🙏 pic.twitter.com/BF9WJxZ3Nk — Jason Brown (@jasonbskates) February 11, 2022 The 27-year old came in sixth at the 2022 Winter games after delivering solid performances at both the short program and free-skates. Brown was also the only man who did not attempt the dizzying new standard, the quad jump. However, his sister Jordan says he kills in it a different way. "The last four years have gone out and just been him. There is no one, and I could be biased that skates like him."
