Patrick will have to wait a while before he gets to show off his stuff. The medal hopeful from Toronto drew the 24th spot in the 30-man field for Tuesday’s short program.
Reigning Olympic gold medallist Evgeni Plushenko of Russia will get a much earlier start after drawing 10th spot. Plushenko is trying to become the first man in 58 years to repeat as Olympic champion and will be the first of the top men to skate.
Turin runner-up Stephane Lambiel of Switzerland skates 19th, followed by Japan’s Nobunari Oda and 2007 world champion Brian Joubert of France. World champion Evan Lysacek of the United States is one of the few skaters to follow Chan, skating 28th.
Good luck to you Patrick, we all have faith in you!
GO PATRICK!!
If only Lysacek could go first …
I feel that the judges begin to score those nearer to the end higher.

Wishing you all the best for your free skate on Thursday. If I were as fortunate as you are I would hope that I could take this moment in time and just let my heart and soul fly with the joy that is your sport. Breathe, relax and enjoy yourself…..you have earned this…..skate for yourself and the sheer joy of what you do….this is what really matters!
