 | | Yuka Sato, who fell in the pairs competition with husband Jason Dungjen to start the evening, ended it with a flawless singles routine to take the lead in the women's competition Friday night at the professional Skaters' Championship. |
 | | Sato, skating in two competitive events on the same night for the first time, edged Kristi Yamaguchi by less than a tenth of a point in the technical program on a night when both skaters were at their best. |
 | | Sato had every detail down pat and got the only perfect 10 of the night for her expressive routine to "Song of our Homeland." Sato won the women's event last year, when it was World Professional Figure Skating Championship, but only started skating pairs in 1999 when she and Dungjen were married. |
