NAGOYA, Japan (Reuters) - Nathan Chen of the United States overcame an error-filled programme including a fall to win the men's Grand Prix Final on Friday, beating hometown favourite Shoma Uno by half a point as Canada's Kaetlyn Osmond led the women's event.
While the Grand Prix Final is often seen as a rehearsal for the Olympics, which take place in February, this year's competition was marked by the absence of prominent skaters including Olympic champion Yuzuru Hanyu and Canada's Patrick Chan, the Sochi silver medallist.
