Love your blog and pics. We are also lifelong travellers but in between work!

Although it's hard for a lot of people considering that they lived through 2000-2002, I don't think one needs to be so binary with S/P and B/S. It is possible to appreciate both teams' strengths.
I love both teams. I've seen S&P live a couple of times and think they're amazing. Whatever happened in 2002, whoever any of them are off the ice, I don't give a rat's a$$. I just like to watch good skating. S&P's posture/glide/speed and they did some seriously exhibition pieces. I guess I just don't understand not enjoying the skating even if the person may or may not be the world's greatest humanitarian off the ice, or just because you didn't agree with the what the judges did. Stones in glass houses . . . . .Although it's hard for a lot of people considering that they lived through 2000-2002, I don't think one needs to be so binary with S/P and B/S.

Amen to this! Contrary to popular belief on FSU, both teams were fab.
Are you drinking?They were one team
just happened to be quite a lot more fab IMO.
Patrick Chan spelled backwards is Nahc Kcirtap.
There's some funny Patrick moments post-competition in the Shibutanis' Cup of China vlog (the Chinese audience cheered loudly for the separate 4T he landed in the exhibition), including the final bus scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRmp1kRRZf0
Patrick Chan: Ready for GPF

"He has changed his spins to be more esthetically appealing for GOE, and he has changed his footwork slightly to add full body movement. He has more accents in his step sequence in the long program, which make it more dynamic (sharp and aggressive movements), not all just soft"."
Nice.
no way Patrick s/b lower than Hanyu for PCS on the day..Patrick was pretty clean but Hanyu was not so you can't use that as an excuse.That 3A was quite possibly the most beautiful 3A I've ever seen Patrick do.
And mark me as another who doesn't understand Yuzu beating Chan on most components - and being so close to him on ones where Chan is ahead. Having seen them both live, they are nowhere near each other - Patrick is teaching a master class in skating, and Hanyu is a new student.
That's Patrick....but love him anyway!I definitely didn't expect Patrick to win the GPF but I thought he could easily medal after that gorgeous short program skate. I'm guessing nerves got to him again? Most likely because he had a great FS run-through yesterday morning, he really seemed to be in wonderful form.
Shocking result.
the Shibs just posted two pics that show Nathan in Canton. Patrick Chan appearance!
