Zagitova, 15, won with a total of 223.30 for a
season's best with a jump-laden routine to "Don Quixote."
"There were a number of small mistakes but they weren't that big
a deal. I'm very happy to have won at the Grand Prix," she said.
Fellow Russian Maria Sotskova came second with 216.28 while
Canadian Kaetlyn Osmond came third.
In ice dancing, the French team edged ahead of Virtue and Moir
with an elegant, passionate routine to "Moonlight Sonata,"
winning with 202.16 to 199.86 for the Canadians.
Two-time Olympians Virtue and Moir, who topped the podium in
Vancouver in 2010, had racked up win after win since their
return to competition with Skate Canada 2016. At Skate Canada
this year they set a new record score.
"We're relieved that it's done," Cizeron told a news conference.
"We had a good skate."
Germany's Aljona Savchenko and Bruno Massot took gold for pairs
with an ambitious, elegiac free skate to "La Terre Vue du Ciel"
by Armand Amar, snagging a season's best 236.68 overall. China's
Wenjing Sui and Cong Han won silver with 230.89 after a wobble
on a triple Salchow, while Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford of
Canada came third with 210.83.
