World junior runner-up Elizaveta Tuktamisheva of Russia won the women's title at Skate Canada in her ISU Grand Prix debut on Saturday after a second-place finish in the women's free skate. Japan's Akiko Suzuki, who finished fourth in Friday's short programme, bounced back to win the free skate with 119.44 points on a routine to Die Fledermaus. Tuktamisheva, who turns 15 in December, settled for the runner-up spot in the free skate with 117.81 points, but her short programme triumph was enough to give her the overall title with 177.38 points, 5.12 ahead of Suzuki. American Ashley Wagner was third in the free skate and overall. Russians Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov, runners-up at the world championships last May on home ice, won the Skate America pairs title by capturing the free skate on Saturday after taking Friday's short programme. Trankov, 28, and Volosozhar, 25, performed to music from the film "Black Swan" and scored 130.96 points to win the free skate and capture the overall crown with 201.38 points. China's Sui Wenjing, 16, and Han Cong, 19, used a routine to Flamenco music to finish second in the free skate with 121.59 and overall with 180.82. Canada's Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford were third in the free skate with 112.47 and third overall on 174.84. The men's title will be decided later on Saturday in the second stop on the season-opening global Grand Prix. Spain's Javier Fernandez was a surprise winner in the short programme with 2010 world champion Daisuke Takahashi second and Canada's Patrick Chan, the reigning world champion and 2010 Skate Canada winner, in third. Reigning Winter Olympic champions Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir of Canada will try to follow up their ice dance short programme triumph on Friday by capturing the Skate Canada crown in Sunday's final routines.
