I'm not sure, too. Here's a great article about him: http://web.icenetwork.com/news/artic...&vkey=ice_news, he says he's working on a 4S, too!I don't think he can win a medal here: basing on his Finlandia programs, Kozuka, Chan and Oda are better than him, at the moment. I just hope he obtains the minimum TES! Considering that Dornbush, Menshov and maybe Brezina can be strong competitors, even a 5th place finish would be good... If he lands a fully rotated quad, he can fight for high placements, without it or having it </<<, he's definitely out of the podium...
I doubt that he will medal but I certainly wish him well.
With Kozuka, Chan, and Oda there, it will be a disaster for any of them if Weir is on the podium.
However, PJ Kwong has already predicted Patrick being off the gold medal stand:

The men's competition is going to be the most interesting.
Front and centre is the matchup between Canada's Patrick Chan and Skate America winner Takahiko Kozuka. On a good day, I think it would go to Chan. The problem is, Chan is off to a slow start this season while Kozuka looks poised and ready.
Toss into the mix Johnny Weir, Nobunari Oda, Konstantin Menshov and Denis Ten and I think we have all kinds of scenario possibilities in the race for the podium.Pj's gold medal picks
Men: Takahiko Kozuka, Japan
Ladies: Adelina Sotnikova, Russia
Dance: Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir, Canada
Pairs: Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov, Russia

Anything is possible. If you told me last week that Machida would win Gold at COC I would say you must be drunk. lol
I love Johnny but I think this is a tough competition for him to be on the podium.
I don't agree with PJ. I think Patrick will do much better at COR and take Gold.

That final spin
and, even if the lutz was two-footed, the quad looked fully rotated!!
Thanks for sharing, I love Johnny's skating and I wished we could have seen his LP in competition. Other than that I wish him well.
