Russian skater Adelina Sotnikova, after performing a short program, takes the second place. The judges appreciated her speech at 74.54. The 17-year-old Adeline rolled down under the “Habaner” by Bizet, having completed a cascade of 3+3 sheepskin coats, triple flip and triple axel.

The lag behind the first place in which the Korean Yu is now on Kim with 74.92 points, minimal. In third place is the Italian Carolina Costner . Her excellent performance to Schubert's music was no surprise: Carolina is a two -time silver medalist of the World Cup. In a short program, Costner completed a cascade of triple flip and triple sheepskin coat, triple rittberger and anxel at 2.5 turnover.

The second Russian woman, 15-year-old Julia Lipnitskaya , who performed perfectly in team competitions, takes 5th place. She has 65.23, after an unsuccessful fall on triple flip, although, we note, Julia perfectly performed a cascade of triple loot and triple tulup and a double axel.

The greatest disappointment today befell the representative of Japan Mao Assad , a two -time world champion. After falling on Axel at 3.5 turnover and disruption of Rittberger, the judges put her only 55.51. This is 16th place.

The owners of the medals will be determined tomorrow, after an arbitrary program.
