Akiko Suzuki leads after short program
SAPPORO, Japan -- Japan's Akiko Suzuki had a near-flawless short program on Friday to upstage compatriot Mao Asada and take the early lead at the NHK Trophy.
Skating to "Hungarian Rhapsody," Suzuki opened with a triple toeloop, triple toeloop combination and hit all her jumps to finish the short program with a personal-best 66.55 points. Russia's Alena Leonova was second at 61.79, followed by Asada with 58.42.
"I'm very happy with my short program," Suzuki said. "Last season, my coach told me the triple-triple was necessary. I just couldn't do it before and he said I must have it in my program or I wouldn't reach the top."
