Authentic Par Lindholm Jersey .Chan, who took a break from training over the spring and summer while he pondered his future plans, will take part in invitational events and exhibition programs over the coming months.My goal is to return to a full competitive schedule after this year, said Chan. I am proud of my accomplishments in Sochi and my world championship titles, but I do feel that there is still more that I can achieve. I will return to competition having learned new ways of training and preparing from this year off.Chan, 23, had a glorious opportunity to become Canadas first Olympic mens figure skating champion last February in Sochi, but struggled in his free skate and settled for silver behind Japans Yuzuru Hanyu.

The program will be revealed this week when Chan skates with the North American team at this weeks Japan Open invitational event in Saitama. This program uses very contemporary movements in my skating, Chan said. Im taking the time to enjoy building out the program and working on the flow of the artistry. And Im experimenting with different things in my training cycle, without feeling that same intensity to do full run-throughs of each program every day that I felt building to the Olympics.Chan hopes that taking a year away from competition will help him when he returns in 2015.Im learning how to accomplish the same results from a more relaxed, less intense training regimen that I feel will help me going forward next year, he said.Chan is also slated to perform exhibition programs with Stars on Ice and is planning to participate in other activities including An Evening with Scott Hamilton & Friends Ice Show & Gala in Cleveland and Skatemania in Quebec City.
