Four-time junior world champion Mao Shimada of Japan has won women's singles gold at Skate Canada International.
Estonia's Niina Petrokina earned silver and Isabeau Levito of the United States took bronze at Prospera Place in Kelowna, B.C.
Shimada's short program earned her 82.11 points and her free skate gave her 153.33 points as she was first all weekend.
She finished with a total of 235.44 points, well ahead of Petrokina (221.07) and Levito (212.22).
Madeline Schizas (177.38) of Oakville, Ont., was the top Canadian, finishing eighth.
“Yesterday was one big error,” Schizas said after the free program. “I made two big errors today, but this happens and I think I came back and I showed mental strength today and character.”
