Beautiful skate by Patrick, other than that confounded 3A! I really hope that he can get a good one done in the FS. This was definitely a step up from the team event. Lovely program!

 

[Yatagarasu]

Sigh. Of course.

 

[OS]

Gorgeous everything when landed and skated... i am gutted for him..

 

[jillredhand]

Is it weird that I'm not even really bothered by the fall on the 3A? It's like, "Oh, it's the 3A, of course Patrick fell, no surprise there." Doesn't even seem like part of the program. But of course, lovely in every other way. And, just like in the team event, he's got the opportunity for a redemption skate as a farewell.

Patrick Chan

Gorgeous 4T to open, no combo so he'll have to put it later. Beautiful 3Lz+3T combo. Fantastic, strong classical camel positions in the first spin. Harsh fall on the 3A, just jumping out of the circle (also looks dinged). Wonderful step sequence with strength and sensitivity. And an extremely well-centered pair of spins to end the program.

Ouch, shame on that darn 3A! At least he went for it and it was better than his performance in the team short program. Some of his spins were only Level 3s because they were slightly rushed. Those edges are just to die for. But he'll only get in the high 80s to low 90s with this program.

I'm so angry right now. Who makes tiramisu with cream cheese????? I saved up my calories for three days to eat this monstrosity! :ddevil:

Tiramisù is made with Mascarpone cheese. Cream cheese is the closest you can find for lack of the original.

 

[Seruleane]

too bad about the axel...he still has (by far) the best skating skills of the top men

MomSynchro: “Well, That was pretty good, minus the one fall, I’m glad I stayed up.”

 

[risingtrot]

Patrick and his usual almost "planned" 3A fall. He skates beautiful though.

 

[skatenewbie]

He should do 2A, i mean it will get him 4.5 point better than 3A< fall..

:sad4:

 

[Roast Toast]

45 PCS is a bit... low...

 

[readernick]

I'm sorry, but dang do I hate Patrick's music selections this season :disagree:

You don't have to be sorry. Your opinion is fine. I really like it though. I don't think another skater could get away with it but it suits him somehow.

 

[Mista Ekko]

The Judges think Patrick Chan is only 2 points better than Rippon for skills

Shamefull, Really...

 

[SarahSynchro]

Who’s the dude that isn’t Ravi in the kiss and cry with Patrick?

 

[Franklin99]

He juuuuuuuust made 90+ by .02!!

 

[el henry]

I'm sorry, but dang do I hate Patrick's music selections this season :disagree:

Thank you! Dust in the Wiii nnn ddd was terrible when I first heard it in the 70s and it has not improved with age. I am over Hallelujah.

I would have liked Patrick to go out on other songs.....

 

[BlackAxel]

Why doesnt Chan pull a "Lambiel" and just do a double axel? It honestly beats him falling on a triple axel attempt.

 

[mermaidfestavol3]

Go Keiji go! Erase that team event performance!

 

[Metis]

90 points is high but fair. He deserves to be ahead of Rippon, but not Aliev. Then again, I’m not a huge fan of Chan.
