MISSISSAUGA, Ontario -- Launching a comeback after an 18-month hiatus, Patrick Chan had been frustrated to find figure skatings version of a slam dunk contest.All about the big jumps, skaters were jam-packing their programs to score major points.So Chan had no choice but to evolve with it.The three-time world champion will attempt three quadruple jumps in his long program for the first time at this weeks Skate Canada International, in an effort to be more competitive with the worlds top skaters.I think that will be a good challenge for the other guys for the podium, Chan said,Chan, whose artistry on the ice is considered a world standard, knew that to challenge for an Olympic medal at the 2018 Pyeongchang Games he needed to crank up the technical difficulty. He added the quad salchow to the two quad toe loops he already had in the free skate.Chan said training with Nathan Chen, a 17-year-old American whos known for his big jumps, has helped. Chen landed four quads in his long program last season.He is the epitome of what skating has become, Chan said. (My perspective) has somehow switched now, because I see it every day. I see how technically stronger he is than I am. Ive learned just to accept it and be amazed by the ability of these kids.Hes just strolling in and. . . quad Lutz. Its like `Oh my god. Are you kidding me? I never thought this would be possible. But it also makes me go into my quad salchow thinking, `All right, this is just another jump. I wont make a big deal out of it. It just normalizes everything.Not much has been normal for Chan recently. Coach Kathy Johnson left him in August, and so he moved to Canton, Michigan, to train with Marina Zoueva, the Russian coach who guided Canadas Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir to Olympic ice dance gold and silver.To have Patrick in the skating arena, its like having a Rembrandt in your home. Its a piece of art, Zoueva said. The ice is my home, and hes like a piece of art, how he skates and how he trains. Its a real privilege.Zoueva said confidence is the key with Chan, who landed two beautiful quads in practice Thursday morning at the Hershey Centre. He frets about being old.Marina has told me many times, `Dont say youre 25, dont say you cant do this. Its ridiculous, said Chan.Zoueva tells him about Zhao Hongbo, who won pairs gold for China at the Vancouver Olympics at age 36. Or George Foreman, who came back from a lengthy retirement to regain the world heavyweight boxing title at age 45.He needs just to believe he can do it, Zoueva said. Because he really can do anything.Skate Canada is a good early test for Chan. Hell be pushed by Japans Yuzuru Hanyu, the Olympic gold medalist in Sochi.The event also marks the first major competition for Virtue and Moir in more than two years. The ice dancers are making a comeback after taking two seasons off.In a lot of ways, its very familiar to us, weve done this a lot of times, and in a lot of ways were coming at it with a fresh perspective and a new team, and things feel different, Virtue said.The two moved to Montreal to train with Marie-France Dubreuil and Patrice Lauzon, and have set their sights on claiming Olympic gold in Pyeongchang.The sports grown, so we know we have to be better than weve ever been, Moir said. And thats part of the challenge. We cant come back two years later and try and be the same athlete and win. It just doesnt work. Yasiel Puig Indians Jersey .

MILAN -- Mauro Icardi ended the longest goalscoring drought of his Inter Milan career with two goals that may have saved the job of coach Frank De Boer.Inter had lost three successive Serie A matches and De Boer was reportedly on the verge of being fired but Wednesdays 2-1 victory over Torino has likely given the Dutch manager some respite.It was the most difficult match of my career, De Boer said. I have always been focused on the Torino match. I dont let myself be influenced by anything.Im not used to losing three matches in a row. Neither as a footballer nor as a coach. But I have always had great pressure to win.Icardi made a fantastic start to the season, with six goals in seven matches, but had not scored for six games in all competition.The Argentine forward ended that run in the 35th minute, thanks in part to a mistake by England goalkeeper Joe Hart, who is on loan from Manchester City.Icardi beat the offside trap to run onto Antonio Candrevas through ball. Hart rushed out and appeared to save the ball but only succeeded in pushing it onto Icardi and it ricocheted into the back of the net.Inter gifted Torino the equalizer shortly after the hour when Andrea Belotti flicked on a long ball and Inter defenders Cristian Ansaldi and Jeison Murillo fell over each other, allowing the Italy forward to fire into the far side of the net.Icardi secured the victory two minutes from time with a stunning strike, carving out space just inside the area before curling into the top left corner.---JUVENTUS 4, SAMPDORIA 1Juventus bounced back from a shock defeat to AC Milan at the weekend with a convincing win on Wednesday.The Serie A leader and five-time reigning champion had thrashed Cagliari 4-0 after its only previous league defeat and it appeared as if Sampdoria was in for similar punishment when Juventus went 2-0 up inside nine minutes.Mario Mandzukic netted his first goal of the season in the fourth minute, heading in Juan Cuadrados cross, and Giorgio Chiellini nodded in Miralem Pjanics corner shortly after.Patrik Schick got Sampdoria back into the match in the 57th but Pjanic restored Juves two-goal advantage seven minutes later and Chiellini doubled his tally late on.The match was also Claudio Marchisios first in more than six months. The Italy midfielder had been sidelined since he tore his cruciate ligament in April.Marchisio went off in the 72nd minute to resounding applause from the Juventus Stadium.---SASSUOLO 1, ROMA 3Edin Dzeko moved to the top of the scoring standings with another double.Dzekos first season was full of disappointment after Roma signed him from Manchester City in August 2015.dddddddddddd But the Bosnia and Herzegovina forward has now scored 10 league goals in as many matches this season -- two more than he netted in his 31 previous appearances.Its all down to him, Roma coach Luciano Spalletti said. Sometimes he makes you angry, other times you have to stand up and applaud.Paolo Cannavaro headed Sassuolo in front in the 12th minute but Dzeko leveled in the 57th with an angled strike into the far corner.He doubled his tally from the penalty spot in the 75th after being tripped by Pol Lirola.Radja Nainggolan sealed the win three minutes later, tapping in the rebound after Andrea Consigli could only parry Stephan El Shaarawys effort.The celebratory mood ended shortly before full time when Roma midfielder Alessandro Florenzi was carried off the pitch in tears after appearing to seriously injure his knee.We are all upset and it removes the joy at the victory a bit, Spalletti said.Tests immediately after the match revealed Florenzis injury may not be as bad as first thought as he does not appear to have ruptured his cruciate ligament. The Italy international will undergo more tests.Roma remained second, two points behind Juventus.---NAPOLI 2, EMPOLI 0Napoli is just two points behind Roma, in third spot, adding more excitement to the eagerly-anticipated match against Juventus on Saturday.Maurizio Sarris side found it tougher than expected against Empoli but eventually broke the deadlock six minutes into the second half when Jose Callejons cross was deflected, allowing Dries Mertens to turn in at the far post.Both goalkeepers made stunning saves before Vlad Chiriches sealed the win eight minutes from time, tapping in Marek Hamsiks corner at the back post.---OTHER MATCHESPescaras match against Atalanta and Fiorentinas game against Crotone were both temporarily halted because of an earthquake and a waterlogged pitch.A 5.4-magnitude earthquake struck central Italy about 90 minutes before kickoff and there was a second one, measuring 6.1, a half hour into the match in Pescara.After several minutes of concern, the match resumed and Atalanta went on to win 1-0.The match in Florence was suspended in the 18th minute as heavy rain made the pitch unplayable.Diego Falcinelli gave Crotone a surprise lead shortly after it resumed, approximately 40 minutes later, but Davide Astori ensured it finished 1-1 when he bundled in the equalizer five minutes from time.Elsewhere, Lazio beat Cagliari 4-1 and Bologna drew 1-1 at Chievo Verona.
