Senior Ladies, Free Skating
Mao Asada of Japan claimed the gold in the Ladies event ahead of Yu-Na Kim of Korea and Italy’s Carolina Kostner.
Asada hit a triple Axel-double toeloop followed by another triple Axel in her dramatic “Waltz Masquerade” program. The reigning World Champion also produced three more triples and strong spins and spirals, but she fell on a cheated triple flip. Asada picked up 123.17 points (64.57/59.60) and moved up from second to first with 188.55 points. “I didn’t feel any pressure coming into this event as the World Champion. I am happy that I could land two triple Axels in my programs and that I was able to win here in Korea. It is really special”, the 18-year-old told the press.
