Patrick Chan

lol... that bee didn't get the right memo :) or she is colour blind :laugh2:
Maybe the store was sold out of Waldo costumes. ;)

I don't remember this but at Skate Canada 2015 (Lethbridge) a group of fans dressed up as Waldo.

Patrick placed first that year. :)

Here's his fs: :love:

I just remember how emotional he was at the end of his program. And yes, you can see the Waldos sitting near the K'n'C. :laugh:
 
Skate Canada 2015 was so special... i was so happy to see him again.... and he skated a flawless LP.... 1 quad.... 1 3A....

to think he is planning now 3 quads and 2 3As in his LP just shows how motivated Patrick has been to increase his content.

I hope and believe we will see some clean skates from Patrick this year : I have the impression that he is more at ease with the 3 quad program now...
 
Gosh... I am so silly.... i think i will be able to watch SP... but LP nope.... time difference always gets me when it's prairies... LOL... I cannot wait to daylight saving... i need my extra hour of sleep...
 
Isn't that when they had it last year? I wonder why they didn't do that again this year. :confused:

Yes, and I wondered the same thing. I heard that there wasn't much engagement between the skaters and donors this year, and there could be more sponsors, especially for an Olympic year.

It's a shame because last year Patrick went around and talked to different fans and skaters, making them feel welcome with his "pleasantly upbeat" demeanor. Read more about it on my blog here.

They muted his performance. :mad: Since when have they been muting guitar and violin concertos?

That's strange! Maybe that particular performance is now copyrighted? YouTube needs to stop that!

Edea posted this to their FB page today. :biggrin:

Lol, I remember that video. Edea has been reposting photos and videos of Patrick from the past year, which is good!

Yes, that was so special, especially since he was under so much stress and in tears before the performance. It was the first competition he did since I became a fan, too. :agree:

--------------------------------

Well, there's 9 more days to go before we see Patrick (hopefully)! Skate Canada has been posting these nice graphics to do the countdown:

Also, here are the Canadian TV broadcast times:

SP: https://twitter.com/SkateTSN/status/920308453507248128

LP: https://twitter.com/SkateTSN/status/920308835797135360

I can't wait to see what Patrick looks like on the ice!
 
vivley : there is nothing strange about muting John WIlliams... As I wrote earlier, he is a living composer, his works are still copyrighted and will be for a long time... (50 years after his death in Canada, 75 in USA)
 
Since we're reminiscing about 2015 SC right now, here's the LP with the full K&C and the medal ceremony. Patrick's pure happiness after the LP and at the medal ceremony truly warm my heart, even looking back at these videos two years later. Patrick's reaction after this competition was unique for him, and it shows how truly special it felt to him. He was very happy after 2016 4CC also, but that reaction was more about excitement. This reaction was more about relief and genuine gratitude that he skated so well and that he had the opportunity to skate at SC again.
 
^^ and the anthem....the one he didn't get to hear in Sochi... it must have been bittersweet at first but he is beaming so the emotion clearly moves towards pure joy.
Gosh i love chiddy ;) what a beautiful human... inside out. I call those reversible hotties ;) :laugh2:
 
I'm just here to say.....

716 Pages!!! :yahoo:

GO CHIDDY!!!!!!!!! :cheer:

in brown? you know... since we have heard the music of his new programs... i just see lots of brown ;) i hope he is going to give us some colour this year ;) Patrick would look good in any colour... perhaps not pale pink though ;) but he could do fuschia LOL... i just hope for something fun ;)

It actually looks more maroon on my screen ;)
 
I feel like we need to make a poll.


Will Chiddy have new costumes ? Write Yes in the reply ... (if you think, like me that he will have place holder costumes... or old ones...... write No in your reply....)

PS... perhaps that's why he wasn't at Nebelhorn... too busy shopping :rofl2:

Found it! :thumbsup: I had looked in vain for Patrick's comment "I just shut my brain off." after the fs. Thinking that it was something chiddy said in an interview, it turns out it was to Kathy in the K'n'C. (At 7:43) Thanks skatingfan4ever! :thank:

Here's hoping Patrick will use the experience from SC'15 this season to give us more flawless and magical performances! :pray: :love:

Btw, the slo-mo they showed while waiting for the scores was just breath-taking. It showed his grace, power and how truly fast he skates. :love:

Glad I could help! :) I like it better when the replays are presented like this, instead of having the program music playing over them, which is what the ISU feed has done lately. We would have missed out on this gem of a conversation if Chopin had been playing during the replays. I wonder when that change was made and why, because we never get to hear K&C conversations anymore.

I've rarely gotten too involved in Patrick's costume discussions but what the heck! ;)

Will Chiddy have new costumes for Skate Canada?

I doubt he'll have two new ones. Maybe one but I think it's too early in the season for him to give his attention to costumes. So my answer is NO.

I wouldn't be surprised if for "Dust in the Wind" he repeats the ombre look of "Journey" using a different palette. Maybe throw in some sparkles for this one. :laugh:

As for "Hallelujah" I'm going out on a limb. Do you remember Gordeeva/Grinkov's "Moonlight Sonata"?

https://i.pinimg.com/236x/1a/29/f2/1a29f2950c606cd99b1a380be15aa076--make-mistakes-luk.jpg

IIRC, in Katia's book she said their costume was Marina's idea and the stark black with white stripe was meant to be "monk-like". Do you think Marina will try to steer Patrick in the same direction? :think:

YES (new costumes for SCI) 0
NO 2


If Marina can make Patrick win the games, she can dress him any way she wants.... but it's true that the white stripe makes it cross like... though the piece was written by a Jewish man. :slink:
