Canada’s Patrick Chan finishes fifth at worlds; Japan’s Yuzuru Hanyu wins gold
HELSINKI — Canada’s Patrick Chan laid down one of the finest performances of his comeback on Saturday.
But the three-time world champion, who has talked all season about playing catchup to an audacious field of high flyers, remains a step behind.
The 26-year-old from Toronto finished fifth at the world figure skating championships on Saturday, dropping two spots after the free skate despite landing three quadruple jumps.
It’s the identical finish to last year’s world championships in Boston, but in the moments after his skate, he spoke about embracing a different outlook on his skating this season.
