When he turned his last rotation, blocked a pick emphatic toe in ice and the music stopped, hopefully Patrick Chan wanted for the rafters.
He did not need were concerned.
The 20-year native Toronto claimed his first title skating artistic world Thursday in Moscow and booklet of the sport in the process of rewriting. His margin of victory was so great that a skating official compared to win the 100 meters by more than a second.
"I think that I was just a little more shocked than anything," said Chan, a large bouquet of flowers dangling from a hand. "I knew that if I skated well enough I would be able to take the lead, so I am really happy that it is well proven." "It is surreal, frankly surreal."
Chan wrote his name in all records of the three world, marking the 187.96 points, for his long program for 280.98 points throughout a day after he broke the world mark for the short program which gave him a nearly insurmountable lead.
"I was hoping that I can get 300," joked Chan. "Maybe next time."
Dressed in a smart paisley jacket under a black tuxedo jacket and skating to the music of Andrew Lloyd Webber of the Opera Ghost, Chan refused to play safe. He executed two quadruple jumps in the opening of the program 40 seconds for the four-and-half-minute.
"I did not change my program, which is very important to me," said Chan, who had been second twice at the World Championships. "I have some doubts in my mind if I should, but I said 'no, no, no,' because I was the program of training throughout the season." "I am very proud of me to be able to do two quads in the opening of the program".
Takahiko Kozuka of Japan has 258.41 points to take the money, while 17 years crowd that preferred Artur Gachinski, the Russia won the Medal of bronze with 241.86 points, in a first exciting event of a Championship which has been in danger even happening just a month ago.
Megasport Arena in Moscow is a surrogate host of last minute for the event, which was further delayed for a month and reinstalled after the earthquake on March 11 and the tsunami in the Japan.
Expressive long program Chan, which is based in the middle of the raging cymbals and obvious horns in the course of the last-minute drama, was not as picture perfect that the program runs. He was forced to fight to hold on the landing on the first quadruple jump and then pitched a triple Axel.
But his elegant skating and exquisite spins - coupled with two quads, a jump he masters just forward this season--easily made Chan the class of the field.
"It's like Tiger Woods at Augusta, the years that he was miles before the field", said the Director of high-performance Skate Canada Mike Slipchuk. "He controlled its destiny and if he comes out and does what he can do to maintain, it will be difficult to beat, left alone with an advance."
World title of Chan was no. 12 for Canadian men in the history of the Championship of the world, he jump in the company of noble with groups like Brian Orser, Kurt Browning, Elvis Stojko and more recently, Jeffrey Buttle in 2008.
The young skater makes a bold statement topic in these World Championships, that he wants to be that Roger Federer has been tennis or golf wood - he wants to dominate the event for the years to come.
"I think it is a stepping stone to a future better, we hope," said Chan.
What is the next?
"Win a world title, and if I stay healthy, and I still love the sport, I hope to do the same thing in the Olympic Games," said Chan "but" one thing at a time.
Chan did not commit to the Sochi 2014 Olympics, but said Thursday that "things have worked this week, is promising for me to go."
Chan was a disappointing fifth in the Olympic Games in Vancouver, but his coach Christy Krall said that it was at about 60 per cent of what it was capable of doing.
"He must have had one year of experience, unless you are very prepared and you did it again and again, things will just fall into your lap", said Krall.
Performance under pressure, maintaining its landing on the quad that threatened to flee, was whether far he came.
"I thought in my second quad, ranging all the time, how that I did this [first quad]?" "I felt really off," he said. "Christy now called me"Bob", I am like a bob in the water, you will always find how to stay straight in the air.
"I am very proud of me, which was a major objective this year for me to find my feet no matter what."
Daisuke Takahashi, Japan, who held the previous record in the world for overall score (264.41) and program for a long time together (175.84) at the four Continents 2008 Championships, finished fifth Thursday. The 2010 World champion and Olympic bronze medallist had problems with a loose screw in his skating which requires him to get out of his first jump. Takahashi was to head to commissions for a quick repair before you restart the computer.
His was not the only mishap. Former world champion Brian Joubert slashed open his hand along the way to finishing eighth, leaving the drops of blood the size of a loon splashed across the centre of the rink.
Kozuka, meanwhile, was delighted to finish medals saying that he hoped that its performance can bring some joy to the Japan at Bay. The young 22-year-old man said that he was transferred by the opening ceremonies of the event, which featured a tribute to the Japanese people with dark lighting and bright pink cherry blossoms.
"I saw how feelings and warm thoughts of the Russian people have adopted the Japanese," said Kozuka. "I have been overwhelmed by this wonderful home that you have provided to us."
