Anna Pogorilaya of Russia won the women's singles title at Figure Skating Cup of China Grand Prix on Saturday in Beijing. The 15-year-old Russian, who moves into senior level for the first season, cruised to 265.94 winning points overall to claim her first grand prix title. Pogorilaya was third after the short program. The Moscow native was nearly flawless until the final minute of her routine, when she stumbled on the landing of a double axel and then singled another planned double axel. But her overall total score of 178.62 points was good enough to put her atop the podium. Her compatriot, Adelina Sotnikova moved down from first place after the short program to take silver with 174.70 points.

Asada held top spot after the short program and remained at the summit after scoring 136.33 in her free skate – taking her total to 207.59 which was not only good enough for the win but also secures herself a spot at next month's Grand Final following on from her Skate America win.
