“I was nervous, honestly,” Patrick told press afterwards. “I started having the (negative) feelings I had last season…It was really challenging even before I got on the ice to stay positive, and remember the things that I wanted to repeat that I had in the short program – looking forward to going out there, to look forward to doing the quad, but not looking too far ahead, doing one quad at a time and then moving on.”
