American Nathan Chen landed five quadruple jumps in the men's free skate on Saturday to overhaul faltering Olympic champion Yuzuru Hanyu and collect a third consecutive world title. Chen, who started the day in third, was impeccable in his routine scoring 222.03 for a total of 320.88 to apply pressure to the Japanese pair, 17-year-old Kagiyama Yuma and Hanzu, who followed. Yuma scored a personal best of 190.81 for 291.77, but last man Hanzu put his hand on the ice at the end of his first two jumps and scored 182.20 for a total of 289.18. es/pb/nr
