Dube, Davison third after short program

KITCHENER, Ont. - A critical mishap on one jump cost Canada's Jessica Dube and Bryce Davison at HomeSense Skate Canada International on Friday.
Dube, from St-Cyrille-de-Wendover, Que., and Davison, from Huntsville, Ont., finished third in the pairs short program, their marks tumbling after Dube singled a planned triple Salchow.
"After that we got a little bit on our heels, everything was a little shaky after that," Davison said.
World champions Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy, skated to a commanding lead with their performance to "Send in the Clowns," scoring 74.16 points.
Russians Maria Mukhortova and Maxim Trankov were second with 65.80, while Dube, from St-Cyrille-de-Wendover, Que., and Davison, from Huntsville, Ont., finished third with 57.90.
Anabelle Langlois of Hull, Que., and Cody Hay of Barrie, Ont., were fourth with 55.52 in their first Skate Canada appearance in two seasons. The two were sidelined all of last season after Langlois broke her ankle and underwent two surgeries.
Dube and Davison won silver at last month's Grand Prix in France, but the two, who skated to "Requiem for a Dream" were docked significant marks for their side-by-side triple Salchows when Dube pulled up and only did a single, earning just 0.1 points for the element.
"I felt really good, I guess my timing was a little bit too quick," Dube said. "I don't really know what happened. I'll just do it tomorrow."
Davison said sometimes it's difficult to rebound from a mistake.
"When you make a major error, no matter what happens, it's hard to go right from that error and move on," he said. "As soon as you hit a bump, it can set you back a little back. We didn't make any major errors after, we were just taken by surprise by it."
