Cup of China Final Results

New, 3 comments

Cup of China has concluded and we are now halfway through our Grand Prix events to determine who goes to the Grand Prix Final next month. 

In pairs, we have a very hearty congratulations to Yankowskas and Coughlin for their very first Grand Prix medal, a bronze.  They finished behind Pang and Tong and Sui and Han of China.  Sui and Han were fairly ridiculously overscored in the short program in my estimation, but I have not seen the free programs yet so we'll see how they did there. Evora and Ladwig finished in fifth place.  The standings did not change at all after the short program.

And over in the men's competition, Sergei Voronov of Russia withdrew before today's free skate, and Japan's Takahiko Kozuka won the competition in dominant fashion.  Congrats to America's Brandon Mroz, who snagged the silver medal!  And those of you brave enough to put your eggs in the Tomas Verner basket were finally rewarded, as he is back on the Grand Prix podium with a bronze medal. France's Brian Joubert came in fourth, more than 20 points of Kozuka.

In ice dancing, Pechalat and Bourzat came into this competition with impressive amounts of focus.  The drive has paid off as they won the competition handily.  It was a disaster for Italians Faiella and Scali, coming in third behind Russia's Bobrova and Soloviev.

And for the ladies competition....American Mirai Nagasu was not able to get the job done, finishing in fourth place.  Japan's Miki Ando and Akiko Suzuki went one and two, with Russia's spritely Alena Leonova coming in third.  She's always dangerous, that Leonova!
