83-85 then?
81? Almost fell on that spin.

 

[SerpentineSteps]

as much as i feel for Patrick, he better not be placed in the top 3 with those mistakes.

 

[Medusa]

I don't wish that kind of performance on anyone. He needs to dust off and move on. I prefer this new version of the SP over last year's feels more Tango to me.

 

[yelyoh]

sloppy skate from chan; nice footwork though.

 

[dorispulaski]

Trouble with 2 of the spins, not to mention 3/2 on the jump and kersplat on the axel.

He should not be ahead of Dai is all I can say.

 

[Medusa]

That will be interesting for "le meilleur patineur de la planete"

So viel hast du also verstanden

 

[DarkestMoon]

Aww, Patrick.... :frown2: What happened on your spins? Well, going home and working on it is the only thing he can do.

 

[Spun Silver]

Oh, no. Well - his first time out. "Some days are a little rougher than others." That's for sure.

What worries me more than the mistakes is his style - the new, improved Patrick does not seem to have the purity and beauty of Patrick I. But let's see how he is in the FP.

 

[Layfan]

Ouch, Patrick. So Jeremy leads with just 79. That's what the judges get for being so overly tough.

He's in 6th with a 66.-- (didn't get the hundredths)

 

[Hsuhs]

Fair. Didn't expect them to be this fair!

Go Kev!

 

[Nadine]

I feel sincerely sorry for you Patrick Chan fans, I know how you feel, I can't enjoy skaters (even my favs) that I fear are going to fall. Now I wish I didn't even watch.

 

[Spun Silver]

Shocking... except in view of his injury or illness or whatever it was.

 

[Hsuhs]

Tend to think it's because of the pressure. In the warm-up, didn't Patrick land a perfect 3A?

 

[demarinis5]

To bad for Patrick. He is still rusty coming off his injury. I am sure he will improve.

 

[ehdtkqorl123]

Still got the highest PCS. Seems like even he is surprised at his score

That's my love-hate relationship with skating. I feel like that most of the time; holding my breath instead of just relaxing and taking it all in. I think I'm going to need a respirator during the Olympics.

 

[DarkestMoon]

I thought he missed it.

Ummm... no, he fell on it. (Unless I missed the other one that he did).

 

[Hsuhs]

I thought he missed it.

Then it had to be someone else. I heard audience clapping and cheering, thought it was for Patrick.
