Daisuke Takahashi, the Olympic bronze medalist has wowed the judges with huge jumps and speedy stepwork to win the short program at the world figure skating championships in Turin, Italy.
Canada's Patrick Chan is 2nd with a clean, well-polished tango, followed by France's Brian Joubert, who came back from a disastrous Olympics with an imposing skate that started with a clean quad-triple combination Wednesday.
Daisuke Takahashi skated perfectly and racked up bonus points for a score of 89.30, short of his season-best 90.85. The crowd cheered wildly by dozens of Japanese flags waving in the stands.
Patrick Chan and Brian Joubert are separated by a tenth of a point going into the free program Thursday.
