KINGSTON, Ont. - Nam Nguyen was speaking to reporters after Saturdays victory at the Canadian figure skating championships when three-time world champion Patrick Chan popped over briefly to shake Nguyens hand. That was the best buddy, Chan said. Good job. Chan has dominated mens singles skating for years, winning the past seven national titles, but Saturday night the 16-year-old Nguyen announced his arrival with a virtually flawless performance, clobbering the rest of the field by more than 30 points. I think its a huge honour that people say that The next Patrick Chan, Nguyen said. But I dont know if I would call myself that anymore, because were at the same level now, right? Im his competitor. The Toronto skater captured his first senior mens title to complete a sweep of national crowns — he previously won juvenile, pre-novice, novice and junior titles. I was dreaming of this since I was eight years old, after I won the juvenile title, Nguyen said. And its really cool because I won every national title starting from juvenile up to senior, and I dont know if anyone has ever done that before. Nguyen opened with a beautiful quad Salchow and then reeled off eight triple jumps to score 256.88 overall points, beating a field that was missing Chan. The three-time world champion is taking the season off to contemplate his future. Jeremy Ten of Vancouver claimed silver with 222.58, edging Liam Firus of North Vancouver by a mere 0.18 of a point. Earlier, Gabrielle Daleman of Newmarket, Ont., captured her first senior womens title and secured her spot on the world team. The championships determine the team for the world championships in March in Shanghai. Canada can send two mens singles and two womens singles skaters, and three teams in both ice dance and pairs. Nguyen was 12th at last years world championships and said having some experience under his belt will help. Oh yeah. But to be honest, I feel like going to nationals here was a lot more pressure than for worlds, he said. So Im really excited and Im not really nervous at all going into worlds. Ten, meanwhile, was overwhelmed by emotion when his scores were shown on the screen. He called this a bonus season, only deciding in June that he would compete one last year and then call it quits on a career that has been marred by injuries and disappointment. My whole world just went like. . . I thought I had misheard it, and then I saw the screen, I just dropped everything. I think I threw my water bottle at one point, and I forgot I was on TV, and then I completely lost all bodily function, Ten said, laughing. At least I didnt pee myself, that was good. The 17-year-old Daleman had a near-flawless performance to win gold with 186.02 points and beat a field that was missing defending champion Kaetlyn Osmond. Daleman landed five triple jumps in her skate to En Aranjuez Con Tu Amor, to finish ahead of Alaine Chartrand of Prescott, Ont. Chartrand scored 184.24 and then burst into tears of joy while speaking with reporters afterwards. Veronik Mallet of Sept-Iles, Que., was third with 172.43. Osmond is taking this season off to recover from a broken fibula suffered last fall. Tiger Williams Jersey .
