It's very bizarre how SS is his second lowest PCS given it's his biggest strength by far.
Not surprising though given the usual automaton judging.

Eh, it wasn't perfect, but it wasn't too far off.

I noticed that Patrick received level 3 for some of his spins. I can't believe he can still improve his technical scores.
He can't do that, as he repeats 4toeloop and 3Lutz.

If he changes that last Axel into a triple...
Ah. Haha...didn't realize that. good thing I'm not a skater. I would totally Oda all the time

He would have Zayaked/Oda'd because he already repeated 4T and 3Lz.
He can't do that due to the Zayak rule. Patrick's layout is pretty much maximized to his strengths. He could replace the second lutz with a second triple axel, but his lutz is a much better jump for him than the triple axel.
That level 1 is a choreographic step sequence..you can't get a higher level on that element.
But yes, there is room!

:agree: And Chan's coaching situation evidently is working for him, whether others like it or not.
Congrats to Chan and Brown, and to Hanyu.

I was most impressed by the speed at which he executed technical elements. He does nothing for me, there is no affect, impression. It is difficult to explain. He was good but in my eyes not great. :think:

In terms of points, yes, repeating both the 4T and the 3A will net him more. However, I'm fine with him doing two 4T and just one 3A (given his past problems with the 3A). It's still one of the most technically demanding programs anyone is doing. It's more the presentation, for me, that he has to refine and make bigger. He's doing decent movement, but it needs... more, in both highlight and breath.
I guess that was what I have fallen for. The loop was a bit "hasty" for my taste, but the judges gave their thumbs-up anyway.
I'm becoming a Chan fan. I love how he is doing the ultimate COP program. Everything he does can be counted toward points. And by that, he achieves the perfect 10s in the Interpretation and Execution of the soul of COP. I'm not even being sarcastic. I absolutely admire a good sportsman when I see one.
His change-foot camel is a planned level 3.
