Turin (Italy) (AFP)

Kevin Aymoz of France took third place in the prestigious Grand Prix of Figure Skating final, won for the third time in a row by the American phenomenon Nathan Chen on Saturday in Turin.

Aymoz, qualified for his first Grand Prix final, has retained after the free program the third place obtained after the short program Thursday, and cumulates a total of 275.63 points.

A chasm, however, separates him from Nathan Chen, now winner at just 20 years of three Grand Prix finals. The American, largely installed at the top of the competition after the short program, has accumulated 335.30 points, new world record. Chen is well ahead of his big opponent, the Japanese Yuzuru Hanyu (second with 291.43 points).
