Max Aaron, Evgenia Medvedeva win at Skate America
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Max Aaron became the first U.S. winner at Skate America in six years Saturday night, and Russian world junior champion Evgenia Medvedeva took the women's title in her first Grand Prix Series event.
The 23-year-old Aaron landed two quad and six triple jumps and finished with 258.95 points. Japan's Shoma Uno was second at 257.43.
Performing his "Black Swan" program, Aaron moved from element to element without any problems until he hit a snag with the landing of his final jump, a double Axel.
"Basically I wanted to stay in my mindset the whole time, stay focused on every element and listen to the music," Aaron said. "That was my goal and what I came here to do. Obviously at the end I had a little slip up. I started to think about the overall picture and that was a mistake, but I'm glad I got that far. I want to improve the next time I compete and get better and better."
