Patrick Chan

[Scrufflet]

May I beat Boeing again with Patrick's interview after the Free Skate, on Skate Buzz.

And this

No limits for Patrick Chan?

Elvis needs to shut up, again.

Totally agree with you re Elvis. Every time I think he's past this type of behaviour, he puts his skate in his mouth again. If only he'd said, "I really like the direction Patrick's going and I'd like to see him finetune....... and improve....". Sad thing is he wasn't like this years ago. I was a fan not so much for his skating but rather, his classy treatment of competitors along with his grit and determination. I'll listen to Kurt and Toller before Elvis.

It has certainly puzzled me for years. I've enjoyed all the worthy American gold medallists and envied their success. I'm not greedy. I'm happy to share the title! But oh, just once, let us get Olmpic gold and Mr. Filet Mignon seems our best chance. I was really shocked when Kurt didn't get it. My husband heard it on the news at work and had to stop in at a chocolate store on the way home to console me. U. S. has been so fortunate with its skaters, women especially.

Mr. Filet Mignon? Hmmm... I have to admit I couldn't help peeking at his chest when I watched him skate in that low-cut red shirt.

There are reasons why Shirtless Patrick Chan video has 35,334 hits vs 4,174 for Patrick Chan Gets Suited With Harry Rosen!

Since this a fan thread, I want help in the story behind this picture, Patrick Chan, his smelly feet, and Evan Lysacek and the next 3. The only video I find for the SC 2008 Press Conference doesn't show this segment.

Ooops, did we miss the live streaming of ThinkFirst: A Night With Patrick Chan & Friends?!

I think Canada has been fortunate with its men skaters, gold medals or not. I'd be proud to claim Toller, Kurt, and Brian O., not to mention the now-grouchy Elvis. (Didn't he use to be better behaved?) I can imagine how much chocolate it took to console you when Kurt didn't win in '92 and then (despite my crossed fingers and wishing on stars) in '94. But both before and after the Olympics, Kurt transcended gold. The quality of his skating is worth at least two Olympic championships. What's wonderful about Canada's male champions is that no two are alike. You can't say there's a Canadian style of men's skating--each of these guys is completely unique and original. Toller and Elvis? Amazing and marvelous that they represented the same country in the same discipline.

If Chan wins in Sochi, I certainly wouldn't be upset, though I have to admit that this time around my heart belongs to Daisuke. There's no changing the situation; it was adulation at first sight.

Here's an amusing tweet from Jeremy Ten:

Thank you. Well said. Perspective restored.

Does Patrick wear green contacts, or are his eyes naturally green?? O_O

It must be the effect of lighting. I'm pretty sure he has dark or brown eyes, and I don't think he wears green contacts. Patrick is not the type to do things like this.

Btw is Patrick's middle name, Lewis? I know that's his dad's name but I found his fb account: https://www.facebook.com/plewis.chan

If you want to go by pictures on ontd-skating, Patrick has rape eyes, evil eyes, red eyes, zombi eyes, whatever. These are my eyes for them. Those high school cliques of bullies are the ones with green eyes, green with envy and bitterness.

Rod predicted Patrick would be a future Canadian champion whne he was only 15.

Ozzie Colson predicted Patrick to be a World Champion when he was a little kid.
