South Korea’s Lee Hae-in won the biggest figure skating title of her career on Friday, bagging gold at the Four Continents Figure Skating Championships in Colorado.
The 17-year-old, who came sixth in the short program, scored 141.71 points in the women’s free skate event to take her total to 210.84.
Fellow South Korean Kim Ye-lim, who finished first in the short program, won the silver, and another teen, Japan’s Chiba Mone, came from seventh to win the bronze.
“I always try to do my best, but this time I tried not to think about my results and focus on my training process,” said Lee, who claimed silver at the event last year.
“I think I did well, so I’m happy right now.”
Four Continents, which features the top international skaters from outside of Europe, marks the final major event ahead of next month’s World Championships, set to be held in Saitama, Japan.
