Not unless P Chiddy takes 2018 OGM first
It'll be very interesting to see where things are with the Canadian men come 2018...
Brian Orser: I wouldn't have become a coach if I had won the Olympics

Nah, I've long given up on that. I said before, USA will win pairs before Canada wins men. The more realistic version will go like this:
2018: Patrick crashes out of the free skate and winds up with no medal (since he already got the requisite two silvers) and Nam Zayaks down to second place.
2022: Nam skates well, but a la Orser/Boitano, a new kid with even more technical content comes along and surpasses him.
2026: Stephen Gogolev switches allegiances to Russia as he grows aware of the Canadian curse. He indeed goes on to win the Olympics, and to add insult to injury, he does so while sporting Yagudin's "giant mask" shirt, Urmanov's ruffled sleeves, Plushenko's mullet, and giraffe print trousers inspired by Kulik.

I surely will stick around till that time for this!
No not Swan Lake, more like POTO! Then he will have committed all of figure skating's ultimate no no's
I think it's sadder if he considers himself a failure (the interviewer's word, not Brian's).

The interviewer didn't call him a failure. It was a reference to losing the gold in the Olympics. They are more direct when they speak, and lets not forget that this is an interview given in english, written in russian, then translated in english again.

Perhaps to be politically correct it should be platinum lining?
A couple of things:
- you're assuming that the winter Olympics actually take place because there is some interest in still hosting it!
- if this costume is real I WANT IT

6 music edits into one program: POTO, Swan Lake, Les Mis, Carmen, Malaguena, Bolero - now that's a program no one has done!
The final 30 seconds of that program will be to the conclusion of Stravinsky's Firebird, of course. The ultimate cliched mish-mash of skating. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go shopping for sequined fishnet gloves.
If this costume becomes real in 2026, I'm suing, 'cause y'all heard it here first!
I was going to suggest you hire Matt Savoie's law firm to trademark it but since he no longer practices there ...

WOW.... a 10-year old landing a 3A. That's crazy impressive. And with Brian's tutelage, he'll develop his overall skating quite nicely, too, not just the jumps.

BTW there is a video of the 10 year old 3A if anyone wants to see it.

Only if the Les Mis edit is I Dreamed a Dream!
Ah yes how could I forget? The perfect music for some flappy arms
