The 18-year-old from Nagoya became the youngest Skate America
winner in 14 years in capturing the opening event of the Grand
Prix season.
Uno, skating to a tango, won with 279.34 points despite a late
fall in his routine while Americans Jason Brown and Adam Rippon
placed second and third, respectively.
The bronze medallist in last season Grand Prix final became the
fourth Japanese men's winner in the last five Skate Americas and
youngest since France's Brian Joubert in 2002.
