MOSCOW
One broken world record and one broken nose. That pretty much sums up Canada’s efforts on Day 1 at the world figure skating championships.
The highlight of the day was Patrick Chan, who is off to a flying start after setting a world record Wednesday in the men’s short program.
The 20-year-old Toronto native chalked up a score of 93.02 after a flawless performance skating to Paul Desmond’s Take Five.
Chan topped the previous record of 90.3 set at the 2010 European championships by Russia’s Evgeni Plushenko

i loved it , it was the best short you’ve ever done <3 and my favourite part is when you finish off your footwork and dance a little before the ending
I was overjoyed to watch your more than perfect short program on TV this afternoon. New world record! How you make us proud! Congratulations, Patrick! Best of luck tomorrow.
