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.
"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.Earlier, reigning world silver medallists Riku Miura and Ryuichi Kihara of Japan took the lead in the pairs short programme, scoring 71.19, less than two months after travel delays forced them to miss Japan's national championships.
"I was nervous and therefore I made the mistake. I will try to switch my mindset for tomorrow," Miura said.
