Going back and re-reading this thread, and there are so many good comments that I want to respond to!
Lol, I was wondering if people would remember Kathy and give her some credit for his winning performance? But even Dave and Jenny of TSL seem to still be confused about her role in helping Patrick. See their 4CC recap here. I say let's give credit where credit is due.
I think now Patrick is truly understanding that the road to victory lies in focusing on his own performance, and not on the results or what his competition is doing. I'm glad to see that it's truly sinking in. Zschultz1986 explains this mindset very well in this post here.
wxyz1234533, I wish I could have been there with you! Thank you for showing your support to Patrick! What? Figure skating is not a popular sport in Taiwan?? Well then, please spread the word! Haha, I talked my Taiwanese friend's ear off last night and told them they had to see Patrick's performance. Then I texted another Chinese-Canadian friend about Patrick's victory. I also emailed my Canadian choir director the link to his performance and she thought it was spectacular. So we just need to show and tell people one by one.
VB, I just thought of it - it was a slap of frustration and celebration!

You're probably right, I wasn't sure who she was.

To everyone who told him to go and get a jump coach, when will you learn???? Lol
He is a very mental skater, not a machine, and that affects his jumps, not his technique!
I'm so excited for worlds, whether he wins, podiums or not, I am unbelievably proud of him.

I was so happy to see him live and that free program was AMAZING!!! We showed him even figure skating is not a popular sport in Taiwan, he still has many Taiwanese fans
