Second-place showings from Patrick Chan and ice dancers Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir on Thursday have Canada sitting fourth following the opening day of the ISU World Team Trophy figure skating event in Tokyo.
Chan, the two-time reigning men’s world champion from Toronto, skated a season-best short program despite his fall on a triple Axel. He finished with 89.81 points, well back of world silver medallist Daisuke Takahashi of Japan, who set a world-record 94.00 in the short. Jeremy Abbott of the U.S. is third with 86.98.
