GANGNEUNG, South Korea (AP) — Andrei Rogozine gave Canada its first men’s junior title since 1978, and Russia picked up two more medals when Adelina Sotnikova and Elizaveta Tuktamisheva finished 1-2 Saturday at the junior world championships.
Agnes Zawadzki of the United States moved up from fifth after the short program to win the bronze.
Rogozine had been third after the short program. But a season’s best 132.86 points in the free skate gave him 200.13 points overall and the title. Keiji Tanaka of Japan finished second and Alexander Majorov was third, giving Sweden its first medal at junior worlds.
The 14-year-old Sotnikova is Russia’s national champion, but she is too young to compete internationally as a senior. She finished with 174.96 points, more than five points ahead of Tuktamisheva.
