I am not a big patrick fan but at least he skates like a man unlike Kevin Reynolds. Kevin's hair really bothers me.. more than his skating.
I agree with Rochette's comment in the fourth tweet that I copied above. It does not matter what anyone other than Chan thinks. And Chan did not find the tweet rude.
JoannieRochette said:He had gold on a silver platter. Instead he took the tray.
Unfortunately, I think he peaked too soon.It saddens me that after the historical skates at TEB Chan rode a little downward curve(although I think 13GPF gold is Chan‘s, IMO). I wonder he was dealing with a small injury.
I wanted Chan to win OG because I thought without it he might be in danger of being underrated.
And S squared also arguably had many big titles given to them unfairly.
On that subject:again: Do you realise what the word 'squared' actually means? It doesn't mean 'times two.'
I've pointed that out the poster in question before, but he insists on trying to make that nickname happen.Again: Do you realise what the word 'squared' actually means? It doesn't mean 'times two.'
Rochette totally earned the bronze in 2010. she had a great short and a great long, with one minor stepout on the long.had
Ugh, I do feel bad for him, especially reading his post-interview where he apologized for missing the gold and said he tried his best.
She said this on twitter in French, here's the translated version:
I wonder if there will be any backlash against her, or if people will gang up on Chan?
He was pretty humble today. Joanne at least he got silver..
Well, Patrick Chan said this today:
"I think I'll still be the best skater in the world for some time."
I think he's got to stop saying things like that, because it does make him sound a bit arrogant.
Again: Do you realise what the word 'squared' actually means? It doesn't mean 'times two.'
While it may not be mathematically accurate, the use of the initial + the word 'squared' is a pretty common way of referring to people or couples who have the same initials. I've seen it used in cases where one person has both initials the same, in cases where someone has a hyphenated last name with both names starting with the same initial, and in cases where two people in a couple have the same initial. I first encountered this in 1989 when one of my university professors had a hyphenated last name with both starting with H, and he was referred to in the department as H squared. So I don't see this as something Skater Boy is truing to force or make stick. Saying S squared is more natural to my ear than saying S/SI've pointed that out the poster in question before, but he insists on trying to make that nickname happen.
