Figure skating champion Patrick Chan wins Trophee Bompard for fourth time Three-time world champion Patrick Chan left the ice to a deafening standing ovation after winning the Trophee Bompard for the fourth time on Saturday and setting two world records. The 22-year-old from Toronto broke his own world record score in Friday's short program and was again in imperious form in the free skate, surpassing his own record score after nailing his opening quad toeloop-triple toeloop, his quad toeloop and his triple axel jumps with remarkable ease to beat his best combined total. "I couldn't have done anything better," Chan said. I criticize myself a lot and sometimes it's time to give yourself a pat on the back, and today is one of those days. Chan, who was at his graceful best in perfect step to choreography sequences to Concerto Grosso's "Four Seasons," looked skywards and blew kisses as he skated off to receive a hug from coach Kathy Johnson. "I felt truly free and I was really able to have ownership of every moment I could skate," Chan said. That's why we compete. Not for the medals or the money. You kind of feel unbeatable and indestructible. I was happy, free and light. Chan usually scores so highly in the short that he has room for error in the long. This time he was determined to follow up with an equally strong performance. Today was a challenge because I've done very well in the short program in the past and haven't had a good track record with the long. I was, of course, nervous and eager and a bit worried," he said. The trick is to learn how to breathe between the elements. I really focused on breathing every step of the way. Japan's Yuzuru Hanyu was second ahead of American Jason Brown, who won his first senior grand prix medal. Both are 18. "It's so exciting to be on the podium with the two most incredible guys," Brown said. I messed up the second (triple) axel but I'm pleased with how I made up for that. Chan scored 196.75 in the free for an overall mark of 295.27 - eclipsing his previous best combined score (280.98) and his free record (187.96) from the 2011 worlds. That put Chan well clear of Hanyu, who tallied 168.22 in the free and 263.59 overall. Brown scored 243.09. Hanyu recovered brilliantly after a nervous start where he stumbled on his opening jump - a quad salchow - and then fell attempting a quad toeloop. He shook his head as he left the ice as the crowd warmly cheered him. There was a little bit too much strength and power in my body. I was thinking about the quad miss too much so the toeloop didn't go so well," Hanyu said. But after that it was a nice performance. Earlier, Olympic runners-up Pang Qing and Tong Jian won the Trophee Bompard pairs for the first time. The veterans posted the best score in the free skate to secure a total of 193.86 points. World bronze medallists Meagan Duhamel of Lively, Ont., and Eric Radford of Balmertown, Ont., finished second with 190.89. "I was very excited because we got the gold medal," Tong said. This gold is very important for us because it's our final season. By finishing second, the Canadians secured their place in the Grand Prix Final, which features the top six skaters in each category. "That was a difficult skate for Megan and I," Radford said. We fought for our lives out there to make it happen. We're incredibly proud of ourselves to make the final with the pressure we put on ourselves. Americans Caydee Denney and John Coughlin took the bronze medal with 184.01 after overtaking Russians Vera Bazarova and Yuri Larionov. Later, defending champion Ashley Wagner and ice dance Olympic champions Tessa Virtue of London, Ont., and Scott Moir of Ilderton, Ont., were set to try to protect their overnight leads.
