Polina Edmunds Takes Top Spot at Four Continents Figure Skating Championships

Polina Edmunds stands on the top of the podium after winning the gold medal at the 2015 ISU Four Continents Figure Skating Championships held at the Mokdong Ice Rink on Sunday afternoon (February 15) in Seoul, South Korea.

The 16-year-old figure skater topped Satoka Miyahara and Rika Hongo, both of Japan, as well as teammate Gracie Gold (4th), for the top place over the weekend.

“I knew if I relaxed and skated like I knew I could, it was possible,” Polina shared after the free skate. “I expected myself to skate well and I did. I’m happy I was awarded the gold medal for it.”

Joshua Farris took the silver medal for the men’s competition, with Jason Brown in 6th.

Ice Dancers and current U.S. Champs Madison Chock and Evans Bates, placed 2nd, with Maia and Alex Shibutani in 3rd. Pairs skaters and U.S. Champs Alexa Scimeca and Chris Knierim placed 5th.
