My favourite version of Patrick is always at nationals. Up until the wonky lutz (which kind of threw off the timing for the end of the program) it was quite an engrossing skate.
Excited to watch the LP!

I must say that it was nice to see Sandhu. The crowd gave him a wonderful welcome and he looked really happy to be there. We really enjoyed the event. Patrick and Kevin were terrific!

Patrick's program is really something extraordinary: those steps before the lutz...Even his cross-overs give me chills! I can't wait until he performs it cleanily, that would be an incredible program! I don't understand why one judge gave a 10 for CH and no-one gave a 10 for SS...
That wasn't a great performance from Patrick. I mean, it wasn't bad but not great for his standard which is as high as it gets.
I'd deduct for the lack of steps on the 4toe. He does like two turns and then there's a big gap with crossover throw in, in between the actual jump. The quad itself was clean but the landing wasn't very strong. Triple axel was perfect though.
Sit spin was a little slow and he went off-centre at the end of the combination spin.
I really dislike the choreography. I don't mind sparse classical programs if a skater is really balletic and accentuates every movement but I don't think that it works for Patrick very well.
Speed was incredible but I had the impression his basic skating wasn't as impressive as usual. A little more scratchy maybe, I dunno. Can he go back to a real coach now please? :P
Firus has the minimum scores for 4CC but not Worlds, right? So if he stays in 3rd he can go to Sapporo to earn his scores there?
Rough comeback for Ten. And Martinez who was 5th or 6th once IIRC, down in 17th after multiple mistakes.

Thank you so much, Scrufflet, for telling us about Eman!Originally Posted by Scrufflet
I sincerely hope Eman will have another good skate. Best of luck to Emanuel Sandhu in LP!!!
Patrick did a great 3a!
Thanks for the video!
Does anyone have a link to Kevin's performance? It sounds like he did a great job!

Come on! It's not like he got 100 or another Guiness record for this sloppy skating. 94 could be almost fair, especially in the light of JN. Damn RusNat spoilt all the fun- Plu got 91 and still is the only one in over-90-at-Nats club with a combo quad in SP.
Look at his smile at the beginning. Look at his proud and satisfying smiles after the performance. Priceless! Oh, I am in tears.
There is a nice article in the Prince George Citizen about his return, with some very nice remarks from Patrick. It really was quite moving to see this event. Sorry I'm lousy with links but it shouldn't be hard to find.
Just want to say ditto all around - what a wonderful highlight to this event. Really brings a smile to my face!!!

Agree. Such a beautiful program. The skating, the speed, wow.Patrick's program is really something extraordinary: those steps before the lutz...
SandhuIf only he could've skated this relaxed in the "old days".
Kevin's program on youtube? I'm kind of a fan of him too
