It's just too bad. I was wondering if there was any way he could have just made a clean slate emotionally, and simply reset himself! Team event is over and Canada wasn't really going to do much better than 4th considering. I don't think Roman skating better or Keegan being in the TE would have gotten Canada in third over Japan, would it?

Anyway, Roman could have tried to compartmentalize those emotions, or simply try for a fresh start and just don't do a quad in sp. Reset and think triples, and just get some positive affirmations and visualizations going to simply skate clean w/o worrying about quads. With a clean skate, Roman's PCS coulda kicked in.

Now, heck, Roman will have the toughest time in the world coming back from this, especially re all the outside perceptions. I feel for him. He's so talented and such a beautiful skater, with an engaging personality. This is sad.
 
Tara and Johnny were saying that Brendan has been dealing with injuries, and doesn't practice the quad anymore, he will only attempt it in competition.

Given he doesn't practice it any more, I thought he did a good job with it, just the turn outs at the end. Over all, a good skate.
