NICE, France -- In the span of just under three minutes, Patrick Chan learned what its like to skate with the weight of a defending champion. cheap jerseys from china . The 21-year-old from Toronto is on pace to claim his second consecutive world figure skating title after winning the short program Friday. But for all the cool confidence that has carried the Canadian star to a string of victories that spans more than a year, nerves got the best of him at the Palais des Expositions. Skating to jazz piece "Take Five," Chan scored 89.41 points -- about four points off his world-record score for the short program -- wobbling on his quad jump and losing his balance twice on his footwork. "This is first time Ive kind of paid attention to (being the defending champion) because I think people have been mentioning it. I guess if it was never mentioned, I would never really think about it," Chan said. Luckily for Chan, he wasnt the only skater to have a rough day. Michal Brezina of the Czech Republic, who celebrated his 22nd birthday Friday, is second with 87.67 points, while 2010 world champion Daisuke Takahashi of Japan, who came within a couple of inches of falling on his triple toe loop, scored 85.72 to leave him third. Kevin Reynolds of Coquitlam, B.C., is 12th with 72.95 points. Germanys Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy won the pairs gold medal later Friday, while Canadians Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford were fifth, and Jessica Dube and Sebastien Wolfe finished 12th. Chan won last years world championships in Moscow in spectacular fashion, setting three world scoring records en route to obliterating the field. Hes utterly dominated the mens event for the past 16 months. But Chan admitted he felt a sense of obligation Friday to skate as if he owned the place. "When I step on the ice, I have to have that presence, I feel I have to skate as if Ive been here before," Chan said. "But I really havent (been there), this is a whole different environment. "Im glad this is done," he added, with a look of obvious relief. "I really got the taste of it and (Saturday) Ill be hopefully settled." His most unsettling moment Friday came late in the program when he arched backwards, nearly toppling over twice on a bracket turn. The crowd laughed at the look of shock on Chans face during the slow-motion replay. "The footwork was kind of funny. I loved the face I made in the footwork," Chan said. "I started going forwards and I lost my balance. Changed to backwards, trying to see if that would help but it didnt help. But it was fine. Its like muscle memory kicking in, and body core strength as well." His coach Christy Krall made light of his missteps. "Always (an adventure) with Patrick," Krall said. "As he often says, if youre not on the edge, youre taking up too much space. That was one of those moments. "I think he needs a figure lesson. Back to the brackets. I dont believe he had enough speed going into that, he came out of the camel (spin) slow, he didnt get his momentum coming around, and once you get that kind of deep edge and you dont have any speed, youre going to fluff, and he did." Chan is trying to become the first skater to win back-to-back mens titles since Switzerlands Stephane Lambiel (2005 and 06). No Canadian has won two in a row in any discipline since Elvis Stojko in 1994 and 95. Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir, who claimed ice dance gold for Canada only a night earlier, understand the pressure of being defending champions. "Its a different kind of pressure, I think its great that he has the chance to experience it, especially before (the Sochi Olympics in 2014)," Virtue said. "Its absolutely a different feeling when you step on the ice and youre defending your title." "Hes handling it great," added Moir, whos won two world titles and an Olympic gold medal with Virtue. "The other thing is, and its a different situation than us, hes dominated the sport, hes dominated mens figure skating the last two years. Hes been untouchable and thats a lot of pressure, but he seems to be handling it pretty well and Im proud of him." The 21-year-old Reynolds, skating to the jazzy "Chambermaid Swing" had one of the cleanest programs of the afternoon, in that he managed to stay on his feet. The Canadian landed a quad jump but didnt receive full marks as it was slightly under-rotated. "It felt a little bit borderline to me, it definitely wasnt one of my best attempts, I was a bit nervous at the start of the program and it probably showed," Reynolds said. "But I got into performance as it went along. (Saturday) Im going to have to focus on getting those quads fully rotated in order to get the big points." Reynolds finish Saturday is key to Canada claiming three berths in mens singles at next years world championships in London, Ont. The total result of Reynolds and Chan cant be more than 13 -- so if Chan wins gold and Reynolds finishes 12th, Canada will have three skaters in the discipline next year. Brian Joubert of France thrilled the hometown crowd as the early leader with his clean quadruple jump and score of 83.47. He pumped a fist and leapt in the air after his performance, but the 2007 world champion and three-time runner-up eventually fell to fourth place. Last years silver medallist Takahiko Kozuka of Japan fell twice, winding up well back in 13th. Americans Jeremy Abbott and Adam Rippon finished ninth and 10th. Savchenko and Szolkowy won the pairs gold with 201.49 points, while Russias Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov moved up from eighth after the short program to claim silver. Narumi Takahashi and Regina-born Mervin Tran won the bronze with 189.69. Duhamel, from Lively, Ont., and Radford, from Balmertown, scored 185.41 for their performance to British band Coldplay, their only major mishap coming when Duhamel singled a jump in their combination. "Very proud of ourselves this week," said Duhamel. "We came here with personal goals and a job to do, we didnt necessarily come this year to win the world title, we came to make ourselves known so in the future we will be here to win the world title." Dube, from St-Cyrille-de-Wendover, Que., fell on two throws and stumbled on a triple Salchow. She and Wolfe, from Terrebonne, Que., scored 156.36. "Very disappointed. Sucks," Dube said. "We had great practices and we were pretty confident, I dont really know what happened." wholesale jerseys . -- Isaiah Pead took a stutter step forward, then raced to the left sideline and travelled 60 yards up the field before finally getting tripped up by a leg tackle. nfl jerseys china . Kulemin is out with a bone chip in his ankle suffered when he blocked a shot in practice Friday. "Its just a small bone broken in the ankle," coach Randy Carlyle said. http://www.cheapchinajerseynfl.us.com/ . After splitting two games in Los Angeles, the teams will meet again in New Orleans for Game 4 on Sunday. The Hornets have now dropped two straight since surprising the Lakers to take Game 1. Although this one was never out of reach until the fourth quarter, the Hornets never had a lead after Chris Pauls layup made it 6-4.His nickname is the Belldozer. Blake Bell, the new starting quarterback at Oklahoma, lived up to the billing in his first start in Norman, throwing for 413 yards and four touchdowns. He completed 73 per cent of his passes, finishing the game with a QBR of 96.7. Bell was a situational quarterback last season, used mainly in goal-line situations due to his 66, 252 pound frame. After losing the starting gig in the spring, Bell has taken over the reins from Trevor Knight and Kendal Thompson. Under Bob Stoops, the Sooners have often been set behind centre but after losing Landry Jones and his school record 39 wins to the Pittsburgh Steelers of the NFL, the program needed someone to step forward. Bell seems firmly planted in the role, and it will be exciting to see what he does going forward. The Sooners have a bye week before traveling to Notre Dame to take on the Fighting Irish. A road game in front of 80,000 fans will be a much bigger test than a home date against Tulsa but its something he should be able to handle well. Bells gaudy stats from his debut as a starter were school records, which is impressive when you consider the list of quarterbacks before him, including Sam Bradford, the number one overall pick playing with the St. Louis Rams. In college, much like the NFL, its becoming increasingly important to have a mobile quarterback. Having Bell, who is used to converting short distance situations, also put up a record setting showing as a pocket passer bodes well for the Sooners going forward. An opposing assistant coach in the Big 12 was quoted as saying Bell is "an effective goal-line guy but not sure how hell do as a primary option. He might do great, but the jurys still out". After his performance against Tulsa, Bell put the rest of the Big 12 on notice and hell be a player to watch, not only against Notre Dame but also when he kicks off the conference schedule one week later against TCU. Look for The Belldozer to prove hes much more than just a flashy nickname in the weeks to come. Other quick hits from around the NCAA: - Bo Pelini may be in hot water ffor his remarks about the Cornhusker faithful but his teams performance against UCLA should be more of a concern. jerseys from china. Leading by 18 late in the first half, Nebraska was outscored 38-0 the rest of the way on their home turf. UCLA is an up-and-coming program, but that is still an awful showing in what was supposed to be a statement game for Pelini and his squad. - Kenny Guiton started in place of the injured Braxton Miller and led Ohio State to an 18-point victory at California. Urban Meyer didnt dumb down the offence at all as Guiton proved capable with 276 yards passing and four touchdowns. The Buckeyes have one more creampuff on the schedule in Florida A&M before opening their conference schedule at The Horseshoe against Wisconsin. - Jameis Winston is putting up some crazy stats for the Florida State Seminoles. Replacing EJ Manuel as quarterback was supposed to be a tough transition for the freshman but through two games, he has six passing touchdowns, two more on the ground and amazingly only five incompletions. - TCU is known for scheduling tough non-conference games in an effort to boost their rankings in the polls should they record victories. The strategy has seemingly backfired this season with losses to LSU and Texas Tech. The Horned Frogs find themselves out of the polls heading into their bye week. - Stanford beat Army by two touchdowns in an underwhelming performance for the 5th-ranked Cardinal. Army trailed at halftime by just one score and was looking to make history. Their program hasnt defeated a ranked team since 1972 – which is now 42 consecutive losses. - Butch Jones had a chance to start his coaching tenure at Tennessee with three straight victories, something that hadnt been done since 1926. How did his Vols respond? By giving up 59 points to the Oregon Ducks and losing by 45 points. - The coolest stat of the week comes from Oklahoma State. They managed a 56-point victory of Lamar, despite losing the time of possession battle by 15 minutes. For more on the college football season check out the TSN podcast each week! cheap jerseys ' ' '
