OTTAWA – Anthony Paradis surged from fourth place after the short program to win the gold medal in the junior men’s event and Justine Miclette took the women’s junior crown on Thursday to conclude the 2022 Canadian Tire National Skating Championships

The 14-year-old Paradis, from Boisbriand, Que., posted the best score in the free skate to finish with 189.57 points. He edged Grayson Long of Toronto by less than a half a point at 189.15 and John Kim of Hamilton was third at 187.52.

‘’I skated very well,’’ said Boisbriand. ‘’I was particularly happy with my triple-triple combo and my triple Lutz. Being on the podium at nationals was one of my big goals this season.’’
