The favourites to win Olympic gold in both the men's and women's singles events are competing this week at the Grand Prix of Figure Skating's season opener in Moscow. I'm talking, of course, about defending Olympic champion Yuzuru Hanyu of Japan and Russian teenage superstar and two-time world champion Evgenia Medvedeva. The Rostelecom Cup will also be featured on the season premiere of Road to the Olympic Games on Saturday at 4 p.m. Her remarkable winning streak includes two Grand Prix Final titles, a junior world title and two senior world titles. Tarasova and Morozov took home the world bronze medal last season and represent the very best of Russia's classical pairs style.
