Patrick Lewis Wai–Kuan Chan (born December 31, 1990) is a Canadian former competitive figure skater. He is a 2018 Olympic gold medallist in the team event, 2014 Olympic silver medallist in the men's and team events, a three–time World champion (2011, 2012, 2013), a two–time Grand Prix Final champion (2010 and 2011), a three–time Four Continents champion (2009, 2012, 2016), and a ten–time Canadian national champion (2008–2014, 2016–2018). He is known for his skating style which is highly appreciated for artistry and elegance. Patrick Chan is a recognized master of figure skating who has made a great contribution to this sport.[2][3][4][5] Becoming a leader in his form and constantly improving from season to season, he has contributed greatly to the emergence of skaters who tried to keep balance, saturating their programs with both complex elements and components.[3] He possesses a unique style of skating by using the edges of the blades, thereby achieving excellent skating skills.[4][6]
On April 27, 2011, Chan set a new world record of 93.02 points for the short program. On April 28, 2011, Chan then set a new world record for his free skating, receiving an overall score of 280.98.[7] In recognition, he was named the recipient of the Lou Marsh Award as Canada's top athlete.[8] Chan has repeatedly set the world records in figure skating under the ISU Judging System,[9][citation needed] being the world record holder for many years.[10][11] He is one of the few figure skaters in the world to break the 100-point barrier in the short program,[12] and is the third man in the world to break the 200-point barrier in the free program.[13] During his 15–year competing career, he has won more than 30 titles and medals of ISU competitions, including three Olympic medals.[14] He announced the end of his career on April 16, 2018.[15] Chan is considered by many to be one of the greatest Canadian male figure skaters of all time.[16]
