Two days earlier, Chan had skated his way into the top three in the short program with his superb all-around skills and artistry. But he knows changes are needed if he's to reach the Olympic podium again. He'll do some "number-crunching" before deciding to add a fourth quad to his long program.
He plans to increase the quads in his short program from one to two, and could experiment with that at the World Team Trophy later this month in Tokyo.
"Fourth quad in the long? I don't know," Chan said. "It's a toss-up. . . I don't know what happens if I had a fourth quad. I'm not like some of these guys who just roll out of bed and do it. I have to be a little more methodical. That's just the type of athlete I am, my build, my genetics, I just need to be smart. I can't let myself get carried away with what the other guys are doing and conform myself to their style, if that makes sense."
Patrick follows his lead, and this interview makes me happier than I can possibly express. We won as fans today. :yes: (Not to mention that Patrick won for himself). Okay, I'll stop gushing and let you watch it now.
Too bad we won't see Sunday Morning again this time. I guess I won't need to blog about it, then. But I hope we will still see Patrick at the banquet! 
) not to mention the 2010 Olympic tattoo. Oh, the saga of Patrick's tattoo......
