19 years of history...

Well not quite a history but a very good future......
Nineteen year old Patrick Chan from Toronto hopes to bring home an Olympic medal from Vancouver 2010. Chan was almost out of the running as a small tear in his calf at the end of the summer, caused a major setback in his training. Because of this Chan came away with a saddening 6th place in Skate Canada when he returned.
Chan after his quick rise to stardom said that a win at the olympics would be "icing on the cake." Besides being a world class skater Chan is also fluent in 3 different languages, English, French, and Cantonese.
Patrick Chan is an inspriring hard-worker on ice and though spoken word. I think this guy has a great chance at bringing home a medal.
So i say:
GO PATRICK
WIN IT FOR TORONTO!

  7. emma... I cannot even begin to count your horrible french mistakes, they horrify me and I think I'd faint if I actually did list them all. Otherwise; the article is simply spectacular, keep up the good work.
