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. According to NBC, she is the first American woman to win a Grand Prix since Ashley Wagner did so at Skate America in 2016. Grand Prix de France is the third of the six Grands Prix of the season. On Saturday, fellow American teenager Ilia Malinin competes in the men’s Free Skate.
