Former Olympic figure skater Johnny Weir has set high style standards in Sochi, with millions watching to see what heâll wear next to the NBC commentatorâs table. But heâs not the only one bringing fashion to the Russian games. A newcomer to the sport has begun to steal the spotlightâŚwith his hair.
Jason Brown, the 19-year-old U.S. figure skater from Highland Park, Illinois sports a signature ponytail that has just earned its own parody Twitter account.
After all, what else is the world suppose to judge when youâre nailing all of your moves?
During the U.S. national figure skating championships in Boston, Brown had spectators on their feet before he even finished his routine. Itâs his ability to put on a performance and connect with the audience that has made his unique riverdance routines an exciting addition to the Olympic competitionâand kept him edging closer to the top three.
While he is definitely a fan favorite, his hair isnât always pleased with his performance, recently tweeting âIdk why sassy hair flips arenât already choreographed into Jasonâs programs, why not showcase me when you can???â
But the âdo knows where its loyalties lie, tweeting âMaybe if some of these skaters had some pony power their country would be placed higher in the team event so far #sorrynotsorry #ponypower,â and it isnât afraid to fan rivalries with the styling choices of other skaters (âI am so much better than Kevin Reynoldâs hairâ).
Hopefully his âpony powerâ wonât get too big an ego. We are counting on Brown to have his best performance ever at the final competition on Friday.
