Joshua Farris won in Lake Placid- ISU Junior Grand Prix


Joshua Farris (USA) won with a mesmerizing performance to a Piano Concerto. He opened with a stunning triple axel-triple toe, then a quad toe and triple lutz-double toe. In his seven triples program a wrong edge on a triple flip and a under-rotated triple loop were his mistakes. Otherwise his free was clean and smart. (total score of 218.69)

Keiji Tanaka (JPN) saved his second placed earned during the short program despite a struggled free skate. His program was highlighted by an opening triple axel-double toe and a triple flip-triple toe combo in the second half of the program. Nevertheless, he fell on a second triple axel (just after the first one) and on a double axel at the end of the program. Again he totally missed his flying camel spin getting a level one with negative goe. His total score was 182.50

Roman Sadovsky (CAN) had an impressive come back after a disastrous short program in which he ranked 8th. He did quite good in the free with seven triples, one fall on a triple flip. He had no lutzes or triple axels but he managed to skate almost clean earning the bronze medal. (158.77)
