Yeah, it's hard for me to understand. Actually I am curious what Patrick will do after Sochi, winning a medal or not. Will he be happy with a life without limelight? Somehow I think not. He seems to enjoy it. So he might compete as long as he can, just like Kwan.Just goes to show winning is not the only goal of competing. Many, from youngsters to a KVDP or Suguri, know their own chances and potential and still compete.
