two-footed her opening triple axel but was solid in all other elements to finish
with 71.26 points, five ahead of second-placed Japanese compatriot Akiko Suzuki.
"I missed the triple axel, but Im not worried about it. Sometimes its good,
sometimes its bad," said Asada, who won Skate America, the first Grand Prix of
the season. Asada, the 2010 Olympic silver medallist , could secure a place at
the GP Final in Fukuoka next month with a podium finish. The NHK and the GP

wasnt thinking too far ahead. "I wasnt thinking about Sochi, I want to take it
one competition at a time this season," Asada said. Gracie Gold of the United
States and Elena Radionova were tied for third with 62.83 points. In the mens
event, 2010 Olympic bronze medallist Daisuke Takahashi of Japan skated a near
flawless routine to "Sonatino for Violin" to take a commanding lead with 95.55
points, more than 10 points ahead of Javier Fernandez of Spain, in second.
Japans Nobunari Oda under-rotated his opening quad toe loop to "Cotton Club" and
was third with 82.70. Takahashi is aiming to bounce back from a disappointing
fourth place at Skate America. "After Skate America my coach (Nikolai Morozov)
and other staff said my motivation did not look good," Takahashi said. "I have
had to reset myself and show my motivation to make it to the Olympics."
Fernandez, the defending European champion, touched the ice with his hand on his
quad salchow, but still impressed the judges with the remainder of his program.
Adam Rippon of the United States stumbled during his step sequence and was
fourth. Russias Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov (82.03) lead the pairs,
with Chinas Sui Wenjing and Han Cong (70.13) far behind in second. Peng Cheng
and Zhang Hao of China were third with 65.09 points.
