Thanks, VB. Those kinds of power struggles between coaches only hurt the athlete. Ugh.
As for the media, they also love to exaggerate. However, I tried to find a similar headline saying "Yuzuru Hanyu tanks in Skate Canada short program" and couldn't. In fact, I'll bet that there are none, not even in the Japanese press.
Other random thoughts (no need to respond unless interested):
I'm so glad that TEB is being held in Bordeaux and not in Paris this year! Patrick and the other skaters are safe(r) there.
I believe in that IceNetWork article Patrick confessed for the first time that he was bitter about his loss in Sochi. 9He did confess before that he was bitter about his losses in Vancouver (article).) Even though it's many months after Sochi, I think it's cleansing for him to be able to admit this.
And now, on to weather the rough transition, as he said:
Yes, do that Patrick, over and over!
4everchan and everyone who had a rough day, I wish you a better day tomorrow... er, today!

Coming to this event was kind of a rough transition, though: I had defeated Yuzu, my comeback was done, so now what? I feel I just…need to do my programs the way I skate in practice now.
