He seemed very happy with his skate and I am so proud of him for skating so well and finding the joy again, even if he's sitting in 2nd (which I don't mind). If it's meant to be, it's meant to be, if it's not, well, then that means that Hanyu (or another, although someone else seems highly unlikely) was on fire and deserved it. I just want Patrick to get in his zone and enjoy this whole experience and share his gorgeous skating with everyone, regardless of medals.
Good luck Patrick! Relax, breath, trust yourself and kick butt!!!!
I like where Patrick's mind seems to be right now. Whatever placement he finishes, which depends also on how Hanyu performs, he will do very well. I hope and believe an Olympic Gold Medal is his destiny. What is meant to be must be and will be accepted. Meanwhile,
7, 4, 3, 2, 1, Gold for PChiddy!

Thank you so much Guru! Love the new mantra and, yes, this American will be proudly humming O Canada for Patrick.Patrick said his 3A got too big and he over rotated but he put it behind him and focused on the rest of the program right away. His being so calm and able to focus bode very well for tomorrow. He is not a newbie or a headcase. It is an advantage to skate after Hanyu. Let's all relax with him. I have a new mantra for y'all:
7, 4, 3, 2, 1, Gold! 7, 4, 3, 2, 1, Gold! 7, 4, 3, 2, 1, Gold! 7, 4, 3........ chant along, 100 times tonight and continue tomorrow morning. It doesn't require the same focus as visualization and can be done almost constantly. Once the competition starts, instead of ohmmmmmm the nervous ones can hum O Canada! as long as you don't feel conflict of loyalty (which is why it is good to wait for the event to start first) or conflict of music.
7, 4, 3, 2, 1, Gold! 7, 4, 3, 2, 1, Gold! 7, 4, 3, 2, 1, Gold!
