Amber Glenn became the first American in 12 years to win two women's singles figure skating Grand Prix events in one season after snatching gold at the Cup of China on Saturday.

Carreira and Ponomarenko, who were second at NHK Trophy two weeks ago, likely must finish in the top two again this week. That would mean beating at least one of Skate Canada runners-up Marjorie Lajoie and Zachary Lagha of Canada and two-time world medalists Charlene Guignard and Marco Fabbri of Italy.
