Osaka: Japanese figure skater Yuma Kagiyama got his Winter Olympics season off to a winning start with victory at the NHK Trophy on Saturday in his first Grand Prix appearance of the year.
Kagiyama, silver medallist at the 2022 Beijing Games, is seen as double world champion Ilia Malinin's biggest rival for gold at the Milan-Cortina Olympics in February.
The 22-year-old led after Friday's short programme and he completed the job with the minimum of fuss in front of his home fans in Osaka.
Kagiyama scored 287.24 to finish ahead of countryman Shun Sato (285.71) and Switzerland's Lukas Britschgi (246.94).
"This was my first Grand Prix appearance of the season and there is still a lot of room to improve," said Kagiyama.
