Staying healthy, motivated and set to peak at worlds are the keys for Chan's success now, not looking for ways to get more points, Nichol advised.

I agree with that approach. I think it is a mistake to try to tweak a program too much just before Worlds. The skaters have enough on their minds to be adding content at this late date.

I think they've learned from Worlds 2008's LP, in which they added a second triple axel as the final "tune-up".
It didn't pay off when Patrick fell on it and lost count of the combo, receiving 0 for the 3lz-2t combo in the second half (making the same mistake as Takahashi), slipping to 9 overall.
