Patrick Chan has skated two perfect CoP programs with top knotch qualities on almost all front, except some skating fans are still unsatisfied with his performing art. (These fans may never be satisfied with Chan anyways.)
Now what do you think about CoP?
This question was inspired by a poster in another thread talking about skating skills. Some think that CoP emphasises too much on SS. To me, it is supposed to emphasis skating skills since it is skating. CoP doesn't only emphasis SS. It also emphasises athletic abilities. It emphasises on the harder jumps, the harder the jumps, the higher the marks. What, I think, makes some of the skating fans unsatisfied is that these fans think it is not enough in focusing and emphasising on performing art.
Personally, I'm fine with CoP in those aspects. That CoP has produced such high quality athletism and artistry combined programs means that CoP way is right way in general.:yes: Chan has set the high bar for the rest of the field. Has he reached the pinnacle of the performing art? No. Has he reached the pinnacle of the athletism? Very close.
