Patrick Chan is trying to tame the triple Axel ahead of the Canadian figure skating championship
Most teenagers take it easy during the Christmas holidays, makinguse of the time away from school to rest and recuperate and reconnectwith family and friends.
Patrick Chan spent the holiday season in Florida, far from his home in Toronto, trying to master the triple Axel.
Chan, who turned 18 on New Year's Eve, was riding high ahead of theGrand Prix final in South Korea in mid-December, having entered thecompetition as the top seed on the strength of two Grand Prix victoriesearlier in the season.
But the reigning Canadian champion came crashing down to earth inGoyang City, as sat in sixth place after falling on his opening tripleAxel and on the triple Lutz in his short program.
Chan eventually moved up to fifth in the final standings after chiefrival Brian Joubert of France dropped out with a back injury.
The Canadian didn't land a single triple Axel in the South Koreancompetition, and was humbled by his poor showing, calling the overallexperience "a punch in the ego."
During the holiday season, Chan spent long hours on the ice,dedicating his training sessions with coach Don Laws to mastering thetriple Axel ahead of this week's Canadian figure skating championshipin Saskatoon.

"We're practising it [the triple Axel]. In a way, we're trying totame it. I'm solving some difficulties with it," Chan told reportersduring a recent conference call.
Chan stopped short of saying he can nail the triple Axel, but it is clear that despite his hard work, he still hasn't got it.
But Chan remains upbeat and not overly concerned about his struggleswith the triple Axel, pointing out that he went through somethingsimilar with the triple Lutz.
"I had the same trouble when I was learning the Lutz, but if youlook at it now, it's pretty consistent. I'd give it a nine out of 10,so I think it's just a matter of time [for the triple Axel]," Chan said.
A month has passed since the Grand Prix final, allowing Chan to adopt a philosophical attitude about South Korea.
"We all have to go through those kinds of moments, we all have thoseup-and-down days," offered the Canadian. "After the long program, Iwasn't upset with the result. I was just trying to keep a cool headthroughout the week."
Chan's performance in Saskatoon later this week could prove pivotalto his overall development, according to four-time Canadian and worldchampion Kurt Browning.
"You would think that anyone who has won two Grand Prix [events]this year against pretty good competition would have some momentum. I'mnot sure he feels that way," Browning told CBC Sports. "The triple Axelhas not been in his back pocket, he hasn't got it, he hasn't been ableto deliver it in a competition and I hope that doesn't get into hishead too much.
"At the nationals, he needs to get a few [triple Axels] out there and get his momentum back."
Browning may think Chan doesn't have any momentum going into thenationals, but the reigning Canadian champion doesn't see it that way.
"I was the only men's singles Canadian skater to be in the GrandPrix finals. The more I go to these competitions, the more experienceand confidence I gain. I think that'll be a big plus when I got tonationals because I'll step on the ice knowing that I have much moreexperience than the others," Chan explained.
That's not to say he's taking it for granted that he'll be on top of the podium in Saskatoon.
"I just want to go there and treat it like I didn't even win [theCanadian title] last year. People are going to be watching me, but Ihave to go and show what I have to do. I have to keep focused and notget carried away and remember I'm there to do a job," Chan said. |
