Reynolds ensures Canada will get at least silver in team figure skating
SOCHI, Russia – Kevin Reynolds did an admirable job filling in for Patrick Chan and ensured Canada will earn at least a silver medal in the figure skating team competition.
Reynolds landed three quad jumps and scored 167.92 points to finish second in the men’s free skate, giving Canada 50 points with two skates left to go.
Host Russia has 57 points and has all but locked up the gold.
The United States is third with 41 points and can’t catch Canada.
Reynolds skated the long program so Chan could focus on the men’s singles event, which starts Thursday.
Chan finished third in the men’s short program to open the team competition.
The team event continues with the women’s and ice dance long skates.
