Asada wins Skate America crown
Print Edition
Japan’s Mao Asada beat American Ashley Wagner at Skate America in Detroit on Sunday.
Asada, the leader going into the free skate, won despite a fall on her triple axel and a two-footed landing on her triple lutz. She scored 204.55 points, thanks to her elevated technical difficulty. Wagner, the 2012 Skate America champion, finished with 193.81. Russia’s Elena Radionova was third at 183.95 in her first ISU Grand Prix event. In pairs, Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov of Russia set a world record in a successful defense of their Skate America title, finishing with 237.71 points. Volosozhar and Trankov, the reigning world champions, easily won the free skate. Canada’s Kirsten Moore-Towers and Dylan Moscovitch were second at 208.45, followed by Russia’s Knesia Stobova and Fedor Klimov at 187.35.
