The Russians won three awards: Alina Zagitova took gold, Maria Sotskova - silver in women's singles, Mikhail Kolyada - bronze in men's singles.

Relief of Zagitova and Sotskova's feelings

The women's singles tournament was quite unpredictable. Firstly, due to an ankle injury, the two-time world champion and winner of the Grand Prix Finals of the previous two seasons, Russian Evgenia Medvedeva, was forced to withdraw from the tournament in Nagoya due to an ankle injury. Secondly, Satoko Miyahara from Japan showed competitive scores at the Skate America stage.

After the short program, Zagitova and Sotskova took second and fourth places, respectively, with a decent amount of points (76.27 and 74.00 points). Canada's Caitlin Osmond took the lead with 77.04. And in the free program, Sotskova, demonstrating clean skating, showed the best result for herself - 142.28 points and a personal record for the sum of points for two programs - 216.28.

At first, one of the favorites of the tournament, Japanese Wakaba Higuchi, and then Osmond, who eventually became third (215.16), could not get around her. Zagitova, having made the most difficult element, the combination of triple lutz - triple rittberger, made blots on the other two jumps, but 223.30 points scored in two programs, in the end, practically guaranteed her victory. The last speaker, Miyahara, did not create competition for the Russians.

"I feel good, I'm glad that the competition ended well for me, and I also feel relieved," Zagitova said. The athlete made blots on two jumps. “But these blots are insignificant, and on my best jumps, so I’m happy with these competitions. There are always blots and shortcomings, that’s why every athlete answers like that. Let it sound trite, but it’s true,” she added.

Sotskova, in turn, admitted that for the first time she was so worried at the Grand Prix Final.

“Actually, I was worried and quite strong,” said the skater. “I was worried for the first time at the Final. Usually I feel relaxed, I enjoy it, but here for some reason I was worried. there's a commotion."

Injury to Stolbova and Vera Morozova

In the tournament of sports couples, the Germans Alena Savchenko and Bruno Massot won the short program, and immediately behind them were the Russians Evgenia Tarasova and Vladimir Morozov. It's nice for both duets that they beat the reigning world champions Chinese Sui Wenjing and Cong Han, who ruined the parallel triple toe loop. Athletes from the Celestial Empire also looked imperfect in training, once a couple fell during support.

Other Russians Ksenia Stolbova and Fedor Klimov performed well in the short program, with the exception of a lowering of the level (to the second) for a triple twist and an unfortunate fall of their partner a little later. In the free, the duo again made a twist of the second level, made a solid lutz throw, but ruined a cascade of three sheepskin coats, and then a parallel triple salchow. The result is fourth place (209.26).

“I made two blunders, unfortunately, it so happened that in the short program I got a little injury. Apparently, due to the fact that the skate flew off (in the short program) and twisted my leg. And I can’t do push elements in full I thought it would be a little easier, but no, "the partner explained.

The winners of the Grand Prix Final last season in Marseilles Tarasova/Morozov made a marriage on a triple salchow and a cascade of sheepskin coats, and eventually became fifth (208.73).

“We won’t get upset, it happens. Probably. We’ll draw some conclusions later. Well, the rental didn’t turn out, what else can you say,” Morozov told reporters. I don't know if the recession has begun. We will continue to work, there is a little time before the Russian Championship, we will rethink what we have done here, and we will do the programs well at the Russian Championship."

The Germans Savchenko / Masso won in Nagoya (236.68), while the skaters did not use the super-difficult triple axel throw. Silver went to Sui Wenjing/Cun Han, who did a quad twist but missed a quad throw (230.89). Canadians Megan Duhamel and Eric Radford (210.83) took bronze with their unsuccessful quadruple salchow throw.

Censorship of Kolyada

The reigning champion of Russia Kolyada managed to climb the podium in men's single skating. In the short program, the athlete pulled off the quadruple lutz, but received a very decent 99.22 points, taking an intermediate third place, and later kept it in the free program (182.78, total - 282.00 points), despite failures in the quadruple lutz and salchow, as well as a triple axel.

Russian sports couples Ksenia Stolbova / Fedor Klimov and Evgenia Tarasova / Vladimir Morozov took fourth and fifth places, respectively, in the finals of the Grand Prix in figure skating in Nagoya, Japan.

The victory was won by Alena Savchenko and Bruno Massot from Germany. Silver went to the Chinese duet Wenjin Sui - Tsun Han, the bronze medalists were the pair from Canada Megan Duhamel - Eric Redford.

The winners of last year's Grand Prix final of Evgenia Tarasova - Vladimir Morozov, who took second place after the short program in Nagoya, did not succeed in the free program. After the performance, the bronze medalists of the World Championship, the European champions, commented on their performance in the following way.

"What happened, it happened. It happens. Probably. We will draw some conclusions. The performance did not work out, what can I say," said Vladimir Morozov.

The skaters said they were ready for the tournament. They did not think about the status of the current winners of the Grand Prix finals, they performed as in ordinary competitions. They didn't put any extra pressure on themselves. Everything went well for the season.

"Maybe there has been a decline. We will continue to work. There is a little time before the Russian Championship. Let's rethink what happened here. We will do good programs at the Russian Championship," the partner explained.

After the rental, the athletes looked somewhat discouraged by such a performance.

"It's not that the nerves. It is possible that they did not cope with their condition after a good short program. We will think. We will draw conclusions for ourselves so as not to repeat such an arbitrary program," added Evgenia Tarasova.

Olympic champions in team competitions, silver medalists of the Games in Sochi Ksenia Stolbova - Fedor Klimov were fourth in the Grand Prix final after the short program. A clean free skate, as Ksenia explained, was prevented by a leg injury received in Nagoya.

“I made two gross mistakes. Unfortunately, it so happened that in the short program I got a little injury. I thought it would be a little easier. But no. My leg is a little worried,” Ksenia admitted.

The athlete explained the cause of the injury.

"The horse flew off, the leg turned up. The leg was jerky. And I could not do jump elements at full strength. Hence the mistakes. In principle, I am satisfied with the rest of the elements," Stolbova said.

Answering a question from journalists about the unusual choreography in the free program, the athlete said that it was their task to show something unusual.

“We wanted to show an unusual choreography, an unusual Carmen, in a new non-classical, more modern performance, in the modern style. But the plot does not change. In the end, they still kill me,” commented Ksenia Stolbova.

As for the Russian championship, which is not much time left, Ksenia explained that "the injury must be healed and go."
