Overview

The competition took place in Sendai, one of the regions severely affected by the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, with the arena used as a temporary morgue.[8] The Japan Skating Federation said it selected the location to "send a message about our recovery, in response to support from around the world."[8] Moderate tremors occurred during the weekend of the event but did not affect the competition.[9]

Skating in his hometown, Japan's Yuzuru Hanyu won the men's short program with a world record score of 95.32 points – slightly surpassing the record he set at the 2012 Skate America (95.07) – while his teammate Daisuke Takahashi and Spain's Javier Fernández rounded out the top three.[10][11][12] Daisuke Murakami attempted to continue after partially dislocating his right shoulder in a fall but eventually withdrew.[10] In the free skating, Hanyu maintained his lead and won the second GP gold medal of his career, Takahashi took silver, and the United States' Ross Miner rose from fourth after the short to take the bronze.[13][14]

Japan's Mao Asada won the ladies' short program ahead of the United States' Mirai Nagasu and China's Li Zijun.[15][16] Akiko Suzuki of Japan won the free skating by over nine points and finished with the silver medal, Asada was second in the segment but finished first overall by 0.05 points, and Nagasu took the bronze.[17][18]

Meryl Davis / Charlie White of the United States placed first in the short dance, followed by their teammates Maia Shibutani / Alex Shibutani and Russia's Elena Ilinykh / Nikita Katsalapov.[19][20] Ilinykh fell ill with food poisoning before the free dance.[21] Davis / White also placed first in the free dance and won the gold medal, Ilinykh / Katsalapov the silver, and the Shibutanis the bronze.[21][22]

Russia's Vera Bazarova / Yuri Larionov won the pairs' short program, slightly ahead of Canada's Kirsten Moore-Towers / Dylan Moscovitch, with the United States' Marissa Castelli / Simon Shnapir in third.[23][24] The top three remained the same after the free skating and Bazarova / Larionov won their first gold medal on the Grand Prix series.[25][26]
