Johnny Weir previews Grand Prix Final men’s, pairs competitions
There was some debate about the Grand Prix Final men’s competition two weeks ago, but now there is a clear favorite.
Japan’s Yuzuru Hanyu is expected to become the first man to win three straight titles at the Grand Prix Final, the most prestigious annual figure skating competition outside of the World Championships (in Boston next spring).
The Barcelona event, which features the top six (or seven) skaters per discipline from this fall, takes place this weekend.
