Rio Nakata leads Skate Canada short program ahead of free skate

Japan's Rio Nakata is in the lead after the short program at Skate Canada in Kelowna, British Columbia, scoring 92.64 points. He landed a quadruple Salchow-triple toe loop combination and a quad toe, despite a hands-on-ice penalty during a spin. Nakata is aiming to become the first man to win his senior Grand Prix figure skating debut in over four years. He holds a narrow lead over France's Kevin Aymoz, who trails by 2.38 points heading into Saturday's free skate.
