Chan repeats the lutz and the quad toe. To repeat any other jump would render that jump and/or combo/sequence null, so he can't do the triple toe more than once (if he gets the 4S, we might see two 3Ts in combinations).
Also, in Tracey Wilson's comment, she said that because Patrick only did 4T+2T, he added 3T at the end of 3F. I'm not quite understand...if Patrick did 4T+3T, he couldn't add another 3T? I thought he can do 3 combos?
Thanks SkateFiguring
Hum, so Patrick's CSSp3 only Level 3, what must he do to get Level 4? It's also a bummer that all ChSt is just 1, considering his ChSt is the best of all.

Also, ChSt is treated as level 1 for all skaters, they earned their marks through GOE.
Boeing787 said:He could still do 3F+3T even after he had done a 4T+3T. But his original plan was 3L+2T.
First the Step Sequence is leveled the same for all. Then the GOE values are reduced this year. And some think COP was designed for Patrick.
He couldn't. He repeated 4T and 3Lz and could not repeat another triple. He would have Oda'd himself. He basically switched the 3T and 2T, with a small gain in bonus.

Yeah, ISU increased the value of quad when Patrick didn't have one, and reduced the value of other triples and footwork. And the haters still call Patrick ISU's dear son.
Don't forget they cut out out one step sequence in the SP. He still smashed the record set by Plushenko with an extra element.
Patrick never lobbies or complains. He just brings it whatever the rules. That's why I always say "Bring it on" to those scheming and advocating scoring changes to take him and his scores down. Others will pay the price, not Patrick.
I finally managed to find Patrick's long program and watch it. Wow, he got every bit possible out of that program. So clean and smooth and powerfully skated.
If he skates it like that at Worlds...I'm knocking on wood as I say that. It would be a wonderful thing for skating if a performance like that could enter the annals of international competition.
got my first wish pc skates 2 really good, clean programs. hope he stays in after sochi as pro. good job, pc!
"Chen finished with 193.90 points in the competition, a new personal best." Not Patrick of course. It was Nathan Chen, a 13-year-old who landed 7 triples, earned level four on two spins, and just captured the US junior men’s title. Imagine Chan vs. Chen in the same competition one day.
Why are we so sure that Patrick will retire after Sochi? He might return for another Olympics as Plueshenko did and is doing.
