Japan's Mone Chiba captured the Skate Canada women's title on Saturday while two-time reigning world champion Ilia Malinin led the men's short program.

Chiba, a 20-year-old from Kyoto who was third at this year's world championships followed her victory in Friday's short program by taking Saturday's free skate at Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, with judges awarding her 144.94 points.

That gave Chiba a combined total of 217.23 points to defeat 18-year-old American Isabeau Levito, last year's world runner-up, by 7.46 point with Japan's 17-year-old Ami Nakai, the ISU Grand Prix winner at France two weeks ago, third on 203.09.

Canada's Deanna Stellato-Dudek and Maxime Deschamps, last year's world champions, won the Skate Canada pairs title with 213.40 points after taking the free skate.
