TAIPEI, Taiwan -- A sparkling performance by Japans Takahito Mura in the mens short program gave him the lead in the Four Continents figure skating championships on Wednesday. A perfectly executed quadruple toe-loop jump and triple lutz plus triple toe-loop jump earned him a top points score of 84.21, edging out Richard Dornbush of the United States with 82.13. Chinas Nan Song was in third place with 78.71. Muras display, which brought him a new personal best in the short program, followed a lacklustre 2013 that ended with a sixth place finish at the Japanese nationals. "Throughout the whole season my performances were not accurate," Mura said. "To see the score today made me really happy." Dornbush also produced a stellar performance but a slight stumble on his quadruple salchow -- blamed on a skate blade catching his pant leg -- cost him precious points in a close contest. Denis Ten of Kazakhstan, a pre-championship favourite for the mens title, tumbled on a quadruple toe-loop jump that left him trailing in fifth place with 76.34. In the pairs short program, Chinas Wenjing Sui and Cong Han took an early lead over three American pairs with a commanding score of 75.26. Alexa Scimeca and Chris Knierim were closest with 66.04, followed by Tarah Kayne and Daniel OShea on 62.05 and Haven Denney and Brandon Frazier with 58.57. Canadian duo Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier took a narrow lead in the ice dance short program with 62.38. Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohue of the United States were lying second with 61.05, with fellow Americans Alexandra Aldridge and Daniel Eaton in third on 57.65. Landry Jones Jersey .

TORONTO -- The Toronto Maple Leafs stood pat Wednesday, deciding that the cost to make a move on trade deadline day was too much. "We would have been hurting ourselves long-term and we werent prepared to do that," Dave Nonis, Torontos senior vice-president and general manager, told reporters. Nonis, who said he made plenty of calls to test the waters, said the asking prices were high and the talent on offer limited. The sense he got was there might be more movement come the summer. "There wasnt a lot available in general," he said. "I think deals that changed the look of your team seemed to happen at the draft." Nonis acknowledged that his team had been up and down, putting the onus on the Leafs to return to their winning ways before the Olympic break. "If we do, we should be fine. And if we dont, then were going to have some difficulties," he said. "But its not a bad team. I think weve got a good core group. Were very young still." Nonis said he did get trade inquiries, pointing to younger players like rookie defenceman Morgan Rielly -- who turns 20 on Sunday. "Morgan Riellys easy to move today. But it doesnt makes sense to us." He said the team could have got some "pretty good high picks" for some of its players facing unrestricted free agency this summer. One of thoose is forward Dave Bolland, who is recovering from a tendon injury.dddddddddddd There is no time frame on his return, with Nonis saying some movement was still causing him discomfort. "Its going to take however long it takes. Im hopeful and confident that hell be back this year," said Nonis. Bolland had surgery after being checked into the board by Zack Kassian in a 4-0 loss in Vancouver on Nov. 2. Asked about taking on other teams unrestricted free agents via trade, Nonis said either the price was too high or he felt the Leafs already had comparable players. "Why pay a price for nothing? Asked how close the Leafs were to being a Stanley Cup contender, Nonis said the salary cap has changed the NHL landscape so that anyone who gets into the post-season has a chance to win it all. "Are there favourites? No question, Would I put ourselves in as a favourite? No. But I think you saw in the last year we were pretty close to moving on." Toronto, which took Boston to seven games in the first round of last seasons playoffs, was 32-23-8 going into Wednesday nights game in New York against the Rangers. Other Leafs who are eligible to become unrestricted free agents after the season are forwards Nikolai Kulemin, Jay McClement, Mason Raymond and Troy Bodie, and defenceman Paul Ranger.
