Patrick sits in fifth place after the short program, just like last year. But the power and smoothness of his skating and his art on ice did not go unnoticed by his international fans!
February 17 (Korea Time)
Short Program Competition
What actually happened after the short program – Patrick quickly circled the rink a few times, then settled in with his coaches for a serious talk before his scores were announced:

Accolades
Patrick received so many compliments from worldwide fans who appreciated his beautiful skating! Below are a select few:
“…Patrick Chan thought in another dimension. It looks like a polished ball. There is a connection to everything in motion, flowing water, techniques determined like respiration to live, exactly experts. I liked it the best I’ve seen.”
プロトコルとかみてもなーんもわからん素人やけど、パトリック・チャン選手は別次元に思った。磨きあげた玉のよう。動作のすべてに繋がりがあって、流れる水、生きていくための呼吸のように決まる技、まさしく達人。私は観た中で一番好きでした。

Patrick CHAN, beautiful. As if this program really expresses the nature of Canada. Fresh.
パトリック・チャン、美しい。このプログラムは本当にカナダの大自然を表現しているかのよう。清々しい。

“Patrick Chan’s skating, really beautiful. It is exceptional. It makes me realize that beautiful just by sliding should be basic skating skill.”
パトリックチャン選手のスケーティング、本当に綺麗。別格だわ〜。
滑ってるだけで美しいのが基本のスケート技術であるべきだと認識させてくれる。
— ヒトミ (@sasu_ryou) February 17, 2017
“Patrick Chan ‘s Beatles song was nice. It was a very good time to match the atmosphere of a song with a smooth sliding slide 😇🙏”
パトリックチャンのビートルズ曲めちゃよかったー。 滑らかに滑るチャンさんと曲の雰囲気マッチしてた🌹 大変良い時間でした😇🙏

“I fascinated Patrick Chan’s light and smooth skating. It is a wonderful match with the songs of the Beatles. Even if there were falls and slippage omissions at jumps, I understood well that they have something that other players do not have.”
#四大陸選手権 #男子ショート
