His performance has to be one of the greatest skatings I’ve ever seen.
He somehow manages to Riverdance on ice!
His technical skills were precise, his required jumps were flawless, his speed and power complemented the rest of Jason’s routine.
Not to mention his synchronicity with the music.

How did Olympic skater Jason Brown come up with this incredible “Riverdance on ice”?
As you have probably seen above his performance was absolutely breathtaking! Jason’s much-talked-about Olympic performance was set to “Reel Around the Sun” from Bill Whelan’s legendary Riverdance.
In this exclusive interview below, he talks about how the whole thing came together and how worried he was that he would even be able to actually do it.
Jason says that
Normally a performance takes two months to run them cleanly but Riverdance took him six and a half months
The interview below shows what a humble performer he is and a truly great Olympic skater.
Brown won a bronze medal in the team event at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, becoming one of the youngest male figure skating Olympic medalists.
