I think it only counts as a fall if his butt lands on the ice.
If the balance of weight is off the blade and onto another supporting limb (hand, butt, etc), it can be considered a fall.

Oh, I forgot all that, sorry. I assumed he did a perfect SP at some point.Also, he fell in the SP at TEB and the GPF, and had two errors at SC (doubled the axel, hand down on the quad). A season best doesn't mean a perfect skate, just means it's better than the others

For interpretation of this rule, a fall is defined as loss of control by a skater with the result that the majority of the skater’s own body weight is on the ice supported by any other part of the body other than the blades e.g. hand(s), knee(s), back, buttock(s) or any part of the arm.
Nadine, please enjoy your Patrick, and leave Ross Miner alone. For god's sake!

87.95. About right as it's reported he did the rest of the program really well and best of all.
Oh Richard, 3Z-2T, 3A fall and 2F.
It's too hard for a skater to keep perfect performances back to back. It's almost impossible for Patrick to skate Nationals, 4CC, and worlds all perfectly in a roll. So it's ok. I think it gave Patrick a better chance to peak at the worlds. Let's see if Takahashi could skate over 90.
Which it was, right?If the balance of weight is off the blade and onto another supporting limb (hand, butt, etc), it can be considered a fall.
