ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating 18/19 Internationaux De France, Day Two
November 24, 2018 Lausanne, SUI ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating 18/19 Internationaux de France, Day Two Favorites Gabriella Papadakis/Guillaume Cizeron (FRA), Nathan Chen (USA) and Vanessa James/Morgan Cipres (FRA) prevailed as competition wrapped up at the Internationaux de France in Grenoble Saturday with the Free Skating and Free Dance. Five skaters grabbed the last available spots for the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final. The Internationaux de France was the sixth and last event of the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Series 2018/19. Nathan Chen (USA) rebounds to grab the gold in Grenoble World Champion Nathan Chen (USA) rebounded after a sub-par Short Program to take the gold. Jason Brown (USA) claimed the silver and the bronze went to Russia’s Alexander Samarin. Chen reeled off a quadruple flip, quadruple toe, another quad toe (in combination with an underrotated triple toe) as well as a triple Axel and four triples jumps in his program to “Land of All” by Woodkid. The American picked up a level four for his spins and a level three for his footwork to score 184.64 points. The U.S. Champion totaled 271.58 to win his second Grand Prix gold medal and qualify for the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final. “I’m pretty happy with my performance of the long program, definitely more satisfied with the long than with the short,” the 19-year-old Yale student said. “I’m looking forward to continuing to develop the program and develop the technical side of the program.” Skating to a Simon and Garfunkel Medley, Brown produced four clean triples, including an Axel and exquisite spins. -
