Japan's world champion Shoma Uno won his first men's singles title at the International Skating Union (ISU) Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final in Turin, having won two silver medals and two bronze in the past.

Uno's victory spearheaded a spectacular event for Japan, as skaters from the country also won the women's singles - via Mai Mihara - and pairs titles

The 24-year-old Pyeongchang 2018 silver medallist fell over while waiting for the score of the previous skater, compatriot Sota Yamamoto, to come up.

But, skating last having won the short programme, he recovered his equilibrium to push Yamamoto down to silver-medal position as he scored a personal best of 204.47 points in the free skate to total 304.46.

Bronze went to the world junior champion Ilia Malinin of the United States, who rose from fifth after the short programme.

Uno, who won the world title in March this year in Montpellier, started his performance to Air on the G String and Sanctus Petrus et Sancta Maria Magdalena, proceeding without any obvious errors as he produced a quad loop, flip, Salchow and two quad toes as well as two triple Axels.

"I didn’t particularly feel pressure just because I won the World Championship, but at this competition, especially during the free programme, all the other skaters did so amazing that instead it motivated me to enjoy and do my best for my competition," Uno told the ISU website.

Mihara's women's victory came via a free-skate score of 133.59, lifting the 23-year-old from second to first.

This is by some margin the biggest title of 23-year-old Mihara's career and something of a surprise, although she had qualified in first place.

Junior world champion Isabeau Levito, who is only 15, had the second-best free skate and that propelled the American to second place, totalling 127.97.

Belgium's Loena Hendrickx, the runner-up at this year's World Championships, was third.

Kaori Sakamoto, the current world champion and another Japanese athlete, was fifth.

Ice dance gold went to Canada's Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier, who had the best score in both rounds.

Americans Madison Chock and Evan Bates were second and Italians Charlène Guignard and Marco Fabbri placed third on home ice.
