PAIRS, Aug. 22 -- The 2019-20 figure skating season opened on Thursday with the start of ISU Junior Grand Prix in Courchevel, France as Russia's 13-year-old Maiia Khromykh led the ladies' short program, while her teammate Kamila Valieva took third.
Khromykh delivered a strong short program in her international debut, despite a minor mistake in one of her jumps. She collected 67.72 points to lead the short program. South Korea's Wi Seo-yeong came second with 65.75, while Khromykh's teammate Valieva, also 13, ranked third in 62.31.
