Kanako Murakami - 2010 World Junior Champion

Kanako Murakami caps off a perfect season with World Junior title

Earlier today, Kanako Murakami won the ladies title at the 2010 World Junior Championships. Murakami has had a breakout season by winning every single junior competition she entered. Murakami took gold at both her junior grand prix events, the final, the Japanese Championships at the junior level and the Ice Challenge. It's not inconceivable that we may see the 15-year-old (she turns 16 in November) at the senior World Championships next year.

Kanako Murakami JPN - Gold
Agnes Zawadzki USA - Silver
Polina Agafonova RUS - Bronze
Polina Shelepen RUS - 4th
Anna Ovcharova RUS - 5th
Kate Charbonneau CAN - 6th
Kiri Baga USA - 7th

Joshi Helgesson SWE - 9th
Julia Pfrengle GER - 10th
