A silver medal for Patrick Chan at the world figure skating
championships last night felt like gold, he said after atoning for a frustrating season of injury and disappointment.
The 19-year-old skater from Toronto had to endure hardships all season -illness, his first major injury, being unprepared for the Skate Canada Grand Prix event last November, skating badly, and trying to play catch-up all Olympic season.
“From the beginning at Skate Canada, it got better and better,” Chan said. “I’ve been learning so much. I think this is by far the most challenging season. The season I’ll remember because I learned 80 per cent of what I have to learn in my competitive career in this one year. So next year will be a breeze.”
CONGRATS patrick chan good luck next ill know you get GOLD
When you didn’confused your places on the podium with Brian Joubert, it was

Hey I read from the Star that Patrick will be visiting his relatives in Singapore in about 1-2 months. I’m a Canadian living in Singapore and I’d love to have the opportunity to present him with flowers on his arrival at Singapore’s Changi Airport for his great job at the Vancouver Winter Olympics and Turin Worlds! Please let me know how I’m able to do so (: Thanks!
Canada is soooo proud of you! keep on working!
I cant wait for you to be back in TDOT!
