Patrick's performance in 4CC was not that great due to the altitude. If you compare his 4CC performance with his national and GPF performance, you will notice his speed in 4CC was a bit slower. He was visibly tired after the program. Aslo, different judges will have score differently. Let's take this factor into account.
Patrick's 4CC performance was not that great? That's certainly a revisionist perspective I haven't quite seen before. If so, I do wonder how he scored a season's best of 185.99 in Colorado, a score that remains the highest among all the men this season. Personally, I thought Patrick performed very, very well at 4CC--for one, he was not visibly struggling to catch up with the music, and certainly skated with more conviction, confidence and purpose than he did at Worlds. In terms of execution--no contest.
By the way, speed is part of SS criteria, not PE.
