Overview edit

Six countries qualified for the event: Canada (7824 points), the United States (7156), Japan (6823), Russia (6648), France (4826), and China (4702).[2] Japan had no pair entry due to the split of Narumi Takahashi / Mervin Tran. There were several changes to the initial roster. Ekaterina Bobrova / Dmitri Soloviev withdrew due to an injury to Soloviev and Ksenia Monko / Kirill Khaliavin were named in their place.[3] Nathalie Péchalat / Fabian Bourzat were replaced by Pernelle Carron / Lloyd Jones, Florent Amodio by Romain Ponsart, and Song Nan by Wang Yi.[4]

Japan and the United States were tied with 47 points each after the first day of competition, with Russia in third.[5] Madison Chock / Evan Bates, Patrick Chan, and Adelina Sotnikova were the leaders in the short dance, men's, and ladies' short programs, respectively.[6] The second day featured the pair's short program, free dance, and men's free skating. Tatiana Volosozhar / Maxim Trankov took the lead in pairs, while Daisuke Takahashi and Chock / Bates won the men's and dance free programs respectively.[7] Konstantin Menshov, third after the short program, withdrew after dislocating his right shoulder attempting a triple Axel in the free skating.[7][8] The United States moved into the lead with 55 points, Canada rose to second place (50), and Japan slipped to third (48).[7][9]

The third and final day of competition features the pairs' and ladies' free skating.
