What really gets me is if Patrick was any other nationality, the Skate Canada leadership and media would probably be all over the place denouncing the injustice of the situation.

Protocols up http://www.isuresults.com/results/gpcan2010/

 

[evangeline]

Hmmmm, from a brief perusal of the LP protocols it looks like Patrick was scored quite generously, GOE-wise.

I can't believe he got positive GOEs on those scratchy jumps (3F, 3Lz, etc).

 

[ImaginaryPogue]

What did the commentators say? Were they dumbfounded to or did they play along??

CBC commentators played along.

 

[CassAgain]

This is great!

What a boost for Chan's confidence: if he lands his jumps, he will not be beaten. Good job here.

Or...even if he doesn't.

 

[pangtongfan]

The good news is Worlds will be in Japan. Chan will be brought down to earth with a giant thud there I predict. And boy will he deserve it.

 

[burntBREAD]

I'm sorry, but how does Nobunari Oda get less GOE on jumps than Patrick Chan...ever?!

 

[jan]

Why are you personally atacking the skater?

The good news is Worlds will be in Japan. Chan will be brought down to earth with a giant thud there I predict. And boy will he deserve it.

 

[oleada]

And chan's fall in the footwork is only worth a -1 GOE from some judges.

What's so friggin special about his scratchy-*** jumps that they don't deserve -GOE? They would if it were any other skater in this competition.

Yes, Elena and Anton didn't deserve their Olympic gold in 2002 due to the smallest of a mistake, so a protest is filed to force a Canadian pair to win a shared gold medal. A home land guy falls 4 times and has many sloppy landings and beats out a Japanese man who only fell once, and all is fine and dandy. All justice is lost. This game is UGGGHHHHHLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

And chan's fall in the footwork is only worth a -1 GOE from some judges.

I was just about to comment on that!
I mean it TOTALLY disrupted the flow...a fall is a fall no matter who you are, and should be marked as a fall

 

[raress]

I think that the only one who can face Chan' PCS is Takahashi right now!...

 

[happy hollow]

Last I checked Patrick wasn't giving himself those marks.

 

[wallylutz]

I am so pissed. We have some judges who post here from time to time. I wish they could explain this.

In this crowd here? Haha, you must be kidding!

 

[babayaga]

CBC commentators played along.

One of the universal sports commentators said something about "a Canadian skating in Canada", but rather than that they didn't sound surprised or outraged at all...

 

[100yen]

Wow...this event really annoyed me. I expected them to hold Patrick up quite a bit but winning the FS by over TEN points when he had one jump with a solid landing?!

Why are Canadian events always like this...? It's really awful for the sport

 

[seniorita]

I start to believe Chan has really a problem in behavior, sore loser Plush and all, he never said on KnC "Judges really wanted to give me this score", I cant believe Chan said that without any sign of trying to be funny. IS it even allowed to say such stupidity while competition is running???He is 19, not 9!
And WHY Oda did a 4-3-3 in warm Up and not a sign of it in the Long?
Better scores than Takahashi with quad and non -GOE for the saved landings.
I m not even bothered to be pissed off!
By the way Radio Canada commentary was awful, they were mocking skaters and coaches, bring Scott Hamilton back.

 

[BigJohn]

Or...even if he doesn't.

I meant at a big competition. It is already established that he can win ugly at GP level...

 

[burntBREAD]

Last I checked Patrick wasn't giving himself those marks.

We're not accusing him, more the judges who give him a free pass on bad landings and FALLS, of all things... -1 only for a fall in a step sequence?

 

[janetfan]

Can't wait for the medal ceremony.
