Two things:

Interest In figure skating in the US and Canada has dropped dramatically since 1990's...maybe the 2002 Olympic scandal didn't help. The days of Peggy Fleming on cereal boxes are over.

I remember when Elvis won his Olympic silver, he had a serious injury and toughed it out. Canadians remember that sort of heart.
 
Maybe we should send the"Skating with the Stars " guys to the next Olympics.If they don't like the score they can punch out the judges.

Perhaps, the Battle of the Blades guys would be a better choice. In hindsight I wish I had focused on pairs figure skating instead of hockey. BTW: Lifting a 110 pound woman over your head while skating is really really difficult. I tried a few times and couldn't do it.

None. I haven't followed figure skating since Elvis. That's why I don't know Chan's accomplishments. That's why this guy will probably never get any funding cause his sport isn't popular here in Canada.
 
He amassed over 300 points in the competition, did a double loop a sow-cow and a quad or two. I have no idea what any of that means except for the quad and he did good.
 
I used to figureskate and was really into following our Canadians. i barely pay attention nowadays....

Patrick Chan deseves serious credit - he's more talented of a jumper than Elvis ever was - and much better with the artistic aspect.

Elvis was cool = I met him.... he skated at my skating club's 'carnival' the year before he made it big.... In those days even men were into figure skating - he did a lot of good for the sport. he landed the first quad (I think) but things have really evolved since then.

for those who don't understand the differences between jumps:

a salchow is just one half a revolution in the air. It's an easy jump.
the flip is one revoloution and is relatively easy.
the loop is one revouloution - you take off and land on the same foot
the lutz is tough - you take off with your toe pick and start the jump from a backwards position and land on the same foot - it's one revolution. Anyone who does a lutz quad is a serious jumper. One revolution is very difficult - nevermind 4...
the axle is the most difficult - it's 1 and a half revolutions in the air - you take off from a forward position and land on the opposite foot going backwards

Well look at you, I'm impressed. Thanks for educating us, I always wondered what they all meant although I must have heard those terms thousands of times and had no clue., lol.

I always thought a salchow was the hardest jump just because of how hard the word is spelled, lol, and I thought a triple salchow was an unbelievable jump.....now that you've explained it, it's nothing compared to a lutz . Thanks again.
