I was born in Canada for a reason. It was because my parents wanted me to have the freedoms that this country offers.
From Patrick Chan
When I was born, my parents were huge into skiing. I grew up on Mont Blanc, skiing on that hill. I was really a ski baby. Loved it; I still love it.
If you look at all the sports in China, the government is extremely involved and they are extremely proud of their athlete.
I'm slowly feeling more Chinese and feel I should be more proud of being Chinese and appreciate where I've come from.
I do love video games. But after a while, you feel like you really need to get up and do something.
There isn't quite a feeling you get from playing video games that you get when you're playing sports, which is like a sense of euphoria. You just get the satisfaction of doing something active and feeling good after.
I carry a lot of muscle easily.
Although it's hard some days to wake up an hour earlier to do the gym workout as opposed to other skaters who just show up to the rink, I know that if I don't do it, my day will be much worse. I might as well not even skate, actually.
Even though I'm very Westernized as an individual and very Canadian, I guess I've lost some of my Chinese culture.
I'm very proud I'm Chinese and represent the Chinese community.
