Absolutely ridiculous!!! That program was terrible and Chan knew it himself. His look of amazement when he saw the scores told the whole story. The ISU ought to look at the scoring on this one!

He's only 4 points behind a perfect Rippon and he fell 3 freakin' times. Seriously? He shouldn't have beaten Javier Fernandez either.

I'm pissed about Patrick's too-high score, actually. I mean, Shawn Sawyer scores like a 70 for a clean performance and it's not like his artistry is that sub-par to Patrick's. It's like no one in Canada can beat Patrick unless they whip off quads (Kevin), and then they're only a bit ahead of himmmm :(

Nice, Oda! Why's he frowning?

He's pretty much always Mr.Unsatisfied With Himself. He did a commentary once on his own (clean) skate and he found a mistake in every element. ;)

ETA: Actually, I think he's just pissed off he didn't go for a quad. He said in an interview he wanted to go for one both in SP and LP.

Worth mentioning that Chan's TES were the fourth highest as well - but yeah - that seems obscenely high for a performance that.... well, won't go on his highlight reel.

Ugh. I don't care how good Patrick's skating skills are I cannot believe his score.

If I were Javier and Preaubert I'd lodge a complaint.

Only FIVE points behind a clean Adam Rippon? It stinks. :disagree:
