One day after the European Championship silver medal with the German team, the double Olympic champion dominated the first of two individual decisions.
The Danish Nanna Skodborg Merrald came in second with a scepter. The British Charlotte Dujardin came third with Imhotep, who won team gold on Thursday. There will be another individual decision in the free skate on Sunday.
