Canada’s Keegan Messing won the gold medal Saturday in the men’s competition to conclude the 53rd Golden Spin of Zagreb figure skating competition, a stop on the ISU Challenger Series circuit.
Messing earned 255.07 points placing first in Thursday’s short program and fifth in a clean free skate. Andrei Mozalev of Russia was second at 252.15 and Jimmy Ma of the U.S. third at 250.97.
‘’It was a fantastic week, I’m confident and more motivated than ever’’ said Messing, 29, sixth at the world championships this past spring. ‘’We’re going home happy. The season started slow, and it is still not perfect but no we’re on the up and up and hopefully towards the Olympic Games.’’
Conrad Orzel of Woodbridge, Ont., was 10th and Joseph Phan of Laval, Que., moved from 24th to 16th.
On Friday, Canadians Vanessa James and Eric Radford were fourth in pairs with Kirsten Moore-Towers of St.Catharines, Ont., and Michael Marinaro of Sarnia, Ont., eighth and Evelyn Walsh of London, Ont., and Trennt Michaud of Trenton, Ont., in ninth.

Golden Spin of Zagreb, the final event of the 2021 Challenger Series, takes place Dec. 9–11 with some of the top names in the sport in the line ups. There are currently 27 men, 23 women, 17 pairs and 14 ice dance teams listed on the rosters. No skaters from Japan will compete.
Many of the entries will be looking to have one final competitive run through of their programs before an international judging panel to prepare for their national championships, which, in most cases, will serve as the Olympic qualifying event this season.
Top names in the men′s field currently includes Kévin Aymoz of France, Canada′s Keegan Messing and Deniss Vasiljevs of Latvia. The three Israeli men currently listed are in a battle to claim the lone spot at the 2022 Olympic Winter Games, with Alexei Bychenko the frontrunner at this time. Jason Brown has withdrawn from this competition.
An international cast is currently slated for the women′s event, including two entries from Australia. Bradie Tennell of the U.S. was slated to make her first start of the season in Zagreb, but withdrew as she continues to deal with a foot injury. Gabriella Izzo has been named as her replacement. Mariah Bell also withdrew and was replaced by Amber Glenn.
The pairs event will be one of the most interesting with some of the top teams from the U.S. and Canada going head-to-head. Australia′s Harley Windsor has formed a new pairs partnership with Russia′s Maria Chernyshova. The duo is set to make their debut at this competition and will go up against their teammates Anastasia Golubeva and Hektor Giatopoulos Moore, who finished fifth at both their Junior Grand Prix events and eighth at Nebelhorn Trophy.
In ice dance, the American team of Kaitlin Hawayek and Jean-Luc Baker have a good shot at capturing the title. Russia′s Annabelle Morozov and Andrei Bagin and Georgia′s Maria Kazakova and Georgy Reviya have withdrawn.
