BEIJING, China — Jason Brown finished sixth in men's figure skating at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.
Brown, 27, who's a student at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs (UCCS), scored a personal best 97.24 points in the Olympics men's short program. The score landed him in sixth place going into the free skate on Thursday.
In the free skate, Brown strung together difficult combinations with the typical artistic flair that he has become famous for, scoring 184 points.
That gave him a total of 281.24, placing Brown second at the time, before the remaining competitors bumped him down.
Brown earned a bronze medal in the team event at the 2014 Games in Sochi, and placed ninth in the individual event.
At the time, he was 19 years old and the youngest U.S. men's singles skater named to an Olympic team in nearly four decades, according to UCCS.
He was named as an alternate for Team USA for the 2018 Games in Pyeongchang. Last month, he landed a spot on the U.S. team for the Games in Beijing.
