Pairs
Adeline CANAC / Maximin COIA from France won with 136.60 points. Their “Samson and Delilah” LP included a Level 3 double Twist Lift and a clean triple Salchow side by side. The Russian pair Ksenia OZEROVA / Alexander ENBERT finished second with 133.55 points. They fell on their opening triple Toeloop aswell as on their double Axel sequence. Third are Katerina KOSTENKO / Roman TALAN from the Ukraine with 123.30 points. The German pair finished only 4th with 119.48 points. They had three falls on the double Axel, throw double Loop and throw triple Salchow. They clearly failed the required 138 points to fulfil the German Olympic norm.
Men
Artur GACHINSKIY from Russia won with 189.59 points. He fell on the double Axel but did two clean triple Axels before. Alban PREAUBERT from France finished second with 188.26 points. Alban had tough problems on both of his triple Axels and the triple Loop. Seems that he also has problems with his quadruple Toeloop since this season as he does not show it anymore. Third is Javier FERNANDEZ from Spain with 184.33 points and an absolute fantastic Free Skate. He was only 11th after the SP but fought back in the LP with two clean triple Axels, a triple Flip and a triple Loop. Unfortunately he fell on his opening quadruple Toeloop.
Yannick Ponsero withdrew. Hopefully not due to injury because he fell again on his opening Quad in the SP, the same jump where he cut his elbow at the Cup of China.
Dance
Only two pairs skated the Free Dance. Chloé IBANEZ / Marien DE LA ASUNCION from France won with 102.44 points. Both of their Rotational Lifts got Level 4. Second are Henna LINDHOLM / Ossi KANERVO from Finland with 94.27 points. Their Straight line Lift also got Level 4. The third pair Katelyn GOOD / Nikolaj SORENSEN from Denmark withdrew after the OD.
