Patrick Chan has withdrawn from NHK Trophy

I'm not surprised by this news - with a 4th place at SCI, Patrick had no chance of making the Grand Prix Final. He has a history of not competing well in competitions in the Far East, especially those with a quick "turnaround", apparently needing longer to adjust to jet lag/time zone issues.
