The minutes before the free skating turned into chaos when Alena Kostornaia was not in the arena in time and her team lead by coach Eteri Tutberidze was unable to make a contact with her. At the last moment, it turned out Kostornaia was sleeping in the hotel. Using a taxi she arrived after an off-ice warm-up, but won anyway ahead of Rika Kihira and Alina Zagitova.
