Yuna Kim goes for another gold, while Gracie Gold aims for the podium

 

Today, the best in women’s figure skating will be crowned. Yuna Kim, Adelina Sotnikova and Carolina Kostner are in a virtual tie after the short. Gracie Gold is not far off in fourth place. Who can handle the pressure of the moment?

Skating starts at 10 a.m. ET. Refresh often for results and analysis from the USA TODAY Sports team.

– Russia’s Julia Lipnitskaia fell in yesterday’s short program, but couldn’t come back with the same kind of long program she did in the team event. A fall and a step out silenced the arena. The score of 135.34 moved her into first place with five skaters left. The good thing for Lipnitskaia is that she is just 15, and will likely be back for more.

Skating order for the final six:

1. Lipnitskaia — Russia
2. Kostner — Italy
3. Sotnikova — Russia
4. Gold — USA
5. Wagner — USA
6. Kim — South Korea
