CNN —American teenager Isabeau Levito has won her first senior major international figure staking competition, claiming the Grand Prix de France title on Saturday to set up a potential US clean sweep this weekend.
Despite finishing third in the Free Skate, the 16-year-old’s overall total of 203.22 was enough for victory and qualification to December’s Grand Prix Final.
Thankfully for Levito, the top three from the Short Program all failed to dazzle on Saturday.
Grand Prix de France is the third of the six Grands Prix of the season.
The 18-year-old is in first place after the Short Program.
