Canada's Moore-Towers, Marinaro skate to 3rd at World Team Trophy

European champions Vanessa James and Morgan Cipres of France won the pairs free skate at figure skating's World Team Trophy on Saturday, finishing more than 20 points clear of Canadian bronze medallists Kirsten Moore-Towers and Michael Marinaro in Fukuoka, Japan.

James and Cipres earned 152.52 points, followed by Russia's Natalia Zabiiako and Alexander Enbert (141.32) and the Canadians (131.84).

''I felt we performed this program better than at worlds,'' Moore-Towers, from St. Catharines, Ont., told reporters. ''We used our breathing spots a little bit better and we learned a lot of lessons that we will take with us next year.''

''It's a little better to end the season on a positive skate,'' added Marinaro, who hails from from Sarnia, Ont.

'Extremely successful event for Team USA'

The 2015 world champion and the runner-up to Japan's Rika Kihira in the short program on Thursday, Tuktamysheva skated to a medley that included You Don't Love Me by Caro Emerald.

American Bradie Tennell finished second with 150.83 points and Kaori Sakamoto, Japan's national champion, was third with 146.70.

"This was an extremely successful event for Team USA," said U.S. captain Madison Hubbell, who combined with Zachary Donohue to finish third in both the short and long ice dance programs. "Everyone had beautiful performances including today, the highlight of course being Bradie Tennell's season's best. An absolutely great way to finish the event for us."

The competition among the season's six best nations has been held six times as a season-closing major figure skating event almost biennially since 2009. The United States also won the title in 2009, 2013 and 2015, and Japan took top honours in 2012 and 2017.
