I've always said that it was easy for him to compete, despite he made some mistakes, he could win.. Was a huge advantage. After this season, he knows if he makes mistakes he won't win. But I wish him the best.
I'm not sure I agree with this or even understand it. Patrick has made mistakes in the past and not won. It's only been in the last couple of years that no one was really challenging him. Yes he can make a mistake or two but his presentation scores usually make up for it. That's figure skating.
But I agree with Olympia, it's not a bad thing to go into a big competition feeling like the underdog. It's good not to let that edge soften......(and I don't mean edge on the ice - altho that's not good either)
But Patrick still has youth on his side, he's injury-free, he's working harder than ever, and if he skates well I don't think there is anybody who can beat him. Anybody!

I remember his face at GPF...He was surprised by the final result... I don' want to start a debate, but in my opinion, who fall two or three times, it's not too artistic. The fall spoils the artistic impression.
No way he is leaving the dance coach, he is dating her daughterPatrick better think about getting a real coach next season too. Especially a tech coach who can work with him on his jumps. A modern dance teacher is out of her element with something like that.
