TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Three-time world champion Patrick Chan of Canada produced a personal-best score in the free skate to win the Four Continents championship.
Chan, fifth after the short program, received 203.99 points in Sunday’s final to finish first with a total of 290.21, less than one point ahead of short-program leader Jin Boyang of China. Jin landed three different quadruple jumps (and four total) in his free skate.
Chinese skater Han Yan was third with 271.55.
“I didn’t panic,” Chan said. “I took my time and kept focused on the things that make me successful in practice and competition, and today is a result of that.
