World champ Medvedeva of Russia wins Skate Canada

MISSISSAUGA, Ontario (AP) Canadian star Patrick Chan overcame a fall to win Skate Canada International on Saturday night.

The three-time world champion's ambitious new program included three quad jumps. He landed the first, fell on the second, and turned the third into a triple, but held on to win with 266.95 points.

''Good that I committed to it and rotated it. That was one of my fears going in, I was hoping I would still commit and attack it, and I did,'' Chan said. ''I hung on, and I know it won't be this generous later in the season. It's nice but I'm also not celebrating, because I know this was a lucky strike.''

Olympic champion Yuzuru Hanyu of Japan was second, and Canada's Kevin Reynolds finished third.

World champion Evgenia Medvedeva of Russia won the women's title in the afternoon with 220.65 points.

The leader after the short program easily outdistanced Canada's Kaetlyn Osmond, who got 206.45 points, a career best. Japan's Satoko Miyahara was third at 192.08 points.

American Mirai Nagasu finished 11th and last.

Canada's Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir won the ice dance title in their first major international event since the Sochi Olympics, and Canada's Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford overcame a nasty fall to win the pairs title.
