Two-time world champion Evgenia Medvedeva won her first NHK Trophy title while her compatriot Sergei Voronov claimed his first Grand Prix title in the men's event, boding well for Russia in the Olympic season. Medvedeva, 17, maintained her lead from the short programme to top the podium with 224.39 points at Osaka's Municipal Central Gymnasium.
Italy's former world champion Caroline Kostner came an impressive second after sitting out two seasons, while another Russian Polina Tsurskaya came third at this fourth event of the Grand Prix Series.
