Ashley Wagner ends ‘turbulent season’ as Yevgenia Medvedeva breaks record

Russian Yevgenia Medvedeva beat her world-record free skate score by six points, while Japan won World Team Trophy to close the figure skating season in Tokyo on Saturday.

Americans Ashley Wagner and Karen Chen were sixth and ninth, respectively, in the free skate. The U.S., which had won the last two World Team Trophy titles, finished third in the this year’s standings behind Japan and Russia.

“This has been a turbulent season for me so to finish with such a strong performance was really nice,” Wagner said, according to U.S. Figure Skating.
