"My free skating program is a good one, but I didn't skate well. Two weeks before the Cup of China, our choreographer Lori Nichol changed some of the components of my program. I only practice twice after I went back from Finland. I need to practice more on it," said Jin.

Fernandez, who was third after short program, still didn't find back his rhythm today as he fell to sixth in the overall ranking. Max Aaron of the United States climbed to the third with 259.69 points.

Women's event continued the close contest among the top skaters. 2017 World bronze medalist Gabrielle Daleman of Canada, who led the short program by less than a point, made some mistakes in free skating and fell to sixth with a total of 196.83 points.

2017 world junior champion Alina Zagitova, 15, who debut on the senior Grand Prix circuit, thrilled the crowd with a set of triples in her free skating and rebounded from her fourth place in short program to the overall lead on 213.88 points.

"It is my first gold in the Grand Prix, which means a lot to me, but I have to continue to work and can't rest on the glory." said Zagitova.

"I was not so pleased with my short program here, but in the free skating everything worked. I was satisfied with that. I was a bit tired after the competition, but in the free skating I was able to give everything in my training."

Skating to Skyfall performed by Adele, Rostelecom Cup bronze medalist Wakaba Higuchi of Japan captivated the crowd with her passionate performance and remained the second place after free routine, only 1.36 points adrift. Two-time European silver medalist Elena Radionova of Russia sat on third with 206.82 points, 5.7 points behind Higuchi.
