SHENZHEN, China (AP) — World silver medalist Mone Chiba led the way in the women’s short program at the Cup of China as Russian Alexandra Ignatova made a long-awaited return to the figure skating Grand Prix series Friday.
Chiba took the lead on 76.08 points with her James Bond-themed program, despite an error on a double axel, in her first skate since the world championships in March following an offseason ankle injury.
