HELSINKI -- Canada's Patrick Chan finished third in the men's short program at the world figure skating championships.
The three-time world champion from Toronto posted a score of 102.13.
Skating to the Beatles' "Dear Prudence" and "Blackbird," the 26-year-old opened with a huge quadruple toe loop-triple toe loop combination then a triple Axel.
"The fact that I could enjoy it, enjoying hearing that first note of the music until the end," Chan said, on what he was most pleased with. "It wasn't even nervousness but excitement, turning that nervousness to excitement. And being calm. And then breaking 100 (points) with one quad, that's huge for me."
Spain's Javier Fermandez, the defending champion, was first with 109.05, landing two quads, ahead of Japan's Shoma Uno (104.86).
Kevin Reynolds of Coquitlam, B.C., landed both of his quads cleanly to finish 12th with a score of 84.44.
