Have posted this before. I've never understood why the Chan hate. HE didn't judge himself. A panel of judges did. It's not like he stole his title from someone - it was given to him. And I might add that Hanyu fell twice? and still managed to win? Where's the hate being thrown at him? Patrick had made (what some would call) controversial remarks but so has Plushenko and others and they don't get nearly the vitriol that Patrick has. I still much prefer his smooth style of skating with clean edges and beautiful body positions to Hanyu's skinny self and sometimes unfinished movement. I think where Patrick went wrong - skating wise - was not having a bonified skating coach who would help in choosing a dramatic piece of music and have it choreographed to show Patrick's strength and skills. I do hope he comes back and comes back soon.
