Patrick Chan

Lost luggage? :furious:

Oh well.....I honestly start to get more nervous when everything runs smoothly when I travel. Sometimes a little drama can be good for the soul.
 
Patrick's fs practice:

He had me at hello ... jumps??? who cares
i know there is no need to care about the jumps....

interesting layout though now ;) hahahaha... here patrick marked the jumps and did only doubles...

it looks like

4t-3t
3lutz (i guess where the 4s was)
3a-1/2loop-3s ( i loved the version in doubles.. it's giant LOL)

------

4t (he marked it completely)
3a
3loop
??? probably 2ax since he would zayak doing anything else there
3flip

this is what happens when adding the dangerous combo... the advantage of the half loop combo is no longer felt as Patrick needs to do a 2a... quad = 10.5 points.. 2a = 3.3 points

of course, it's not a good idea to change the combo since patrick will most likely bring back the salchow... but i prefer his chopin layout to be honest... which is less demanding and has a bit less value but doesn't have the half loop combo....
 
Aw, thanks! Haha, we should tell Patrick the same thing, eh?




"You see, his costume is made of a cloth that can only be seen by intelligent people," said the snooty costume designers... :laugh2:


Actually it seems that his luggage was lost...!

Okay, which airline lost his luggage?! :dev2:

probably air canada... from toronto to regina... toronto is the worst airport i have been through... ugh...
 
:laugh:

He may borrow a shirt so I'm correct - old pants, new top. :)

eta. I like the way Patrick stays calm and positive. :2thumbs: "It's all good, all good."

something new, something old, something blue, something borrowed,

yup.. you are correct... Patrick and I ;) finally :) :handw:
 
First, what a lovely practice runthrough! This program is amazing and, as always, I love how there is ALWAYS something happening in it! :yes: No comment on the layout; I simply hope Patrick can be satisfied with his performance on Saturday.

Lost luggage is unfortunate, but I'm glad Patrick is taking it in stride. "Luckily, I have friends here." :love: We'll be able to post about Patrick in the "Borrowed Costumes" thread now, assuming his luggage doesn't arrive in time. :laugh: Now we know why he wasn't at the morning practice yesterday. Maybe dealing with this other stuff has taken his mind off the competition pressure a bit. I noticed he didn't say whether the costumes are old or new. I was hoping he would reveal that tidbit, but no such luck. ;)
 

OMG

what a hot man LOL

Patrick in a wet suit.... even better on the water than on the ice LOL

enough of my :love::love::love:

Of course, this text has been written and rehearsed... but Patrick talks about flight or fight... and says, it's still there.. it's natural... that is good.. he is indeed working with a sports psychologist to be mentioning these things. I have been very demanding of him lately because I can feel he is so close to get there... and deeply, all i want for him is to experience competing at the highest level with the feeling of controlling "the zone"

He has shown us he can get there... everyone can... but to get it "on command" requires a lot of mental preparation which he seems to be doing.... all I wish for him is that he can repeatedly and steadily get there, and enjoy competing....it changes everything for a performer... i disliked performing until a few years ago.. when i understood the power of the mental game... and found ways to always be in the zone, i found a new love for my art... and i reached much higher levels too... that's why i am always hoping for Patrick to get further ahead in the process of discovery.

Patrick is so beautiful to watch when he is performing one element after another, caring about their quality and the presentation... he is a very musical skater... and emotional athlete... all of these attribute make him the gorgeous skater and human being he is... keep preparing... keep working.... keep loving what you do...

I will most likely be able to watch the SP live tonight.... I will have to run after work.. (or take the subway LOL)
I will most likely not go to a party tomorrow as I am burned out from the week (nothing to do with skating LOL but just too much work)... which means that I will sit down on my couch all day, watching skating.... so I will be here my friends, sharing my love for our chiddy.... sharing my support to the anxious ones... YES .. I know...i appear as the anxious one because I often feel that Patrick is thinking and talking too much before events.. but the day of a competition.... i am super zen ;) as there is nothing left to do for a performer than just go on with the day, warm up and perform... the rest? whatever will happen will happen ... and i will be always having your back Patrick Chan!!!! and same with you Patrick fans ;)

Cheering for the last Skate Canada for Patrick !!!!!
Cheering for Patrick's third Olympic season!!!!
Wishing Patrick to reach his best, just for his own satisfaction !!!!
Wishing to see Patrick as a happy, joyous man !!!!
Hoping Patrick feels all the love we have for him !!!!!

GO Patrick !!!!!
