Good combo, but big mistakes on the other jumps, sadly. Great skating skills, though

SP: 37.43+44.38-1.00 = 80.81, 1/5

 

[gravy]

And of course he pulls a Patrick.

 

[Jammers]

Patrick get a real coach who can teach jumps.

 

[KwanIsALegend]

15.43 for 1 jump combination. wow

 

[Bumdid]

Go get a jumping coach, Patrick

 

[shiroKJ]

Love his speed though, and good energy.

 

[Serious Business]

The time off didn't improve his consistency none I see. Canadian fans in for more nerves and heartbreak, I thik.

 

[invisiblespiral]

Um... strange program, I like his FS better, his SS is awesome, and I think I said about 10 seconds into the program that I didn't want this to end up like Osmond...

 

[CdnSkateWatcher]

Spins looked a bit weak too. Some of the backsit positions were a bit high on some revs.

 

[OS]

Ooooh PATRICK!!! Everything is world class ++++ pity about the jumping elements. 3A What the heck?!!!

This is going to be interesting

 

[satine]

Patrick, you can land a great 4T+3T, have amazing SS & PE, then you mess up your other two jumps. Why? :hopelessness:

 

[Mrs. P]

Wow. Patrick is really beating himself up. I actually enjoyed it, mistakes aside.

 

[Scovies]

Shame about the jumps, but I actually really liked Patrick's performance (usually the weakest aspect of his skating for me) tonight. It's a good program for him and he sold it well.

 

[Lissy]

He looked nervous going into that program. Also, he needs a sweater with a different material. Whenever he goes fast or makes a turn or spin, it expands and makes him look weird.

 

[karne]

Was that Max with the red undies? I'm so sad I missed that.

Almost as sad as Patrick is about missing that jump, I'll bet

That was in practice at SkAm - he was properly covered up and tucked in during the actual comp.

The costume is horrifying. The music cover is equally horrifying. Fall on the 3A and no value for the lutz.

4T-3T was really good though.

 

[EdgeCall]

Mack is back and we don't care.

Sorry Mack, we only care about Patrick.

Not that he doesn't need it, though ...

 

[TheGrandSophy]

Chan's costume looks more vintage collegiate then mack the knife.

Yeah, like from one of those 1950s college musicals.

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

Boo to the 3A and 2Z but still had a strong opening quad (not so much the 3T). Ah well, first SP in a while, and the program looked great and fun.

 

[Serious Business]

Splatrick inflation is back!
