Skating in front of their hometown crowd, Castelli and Shnapir took the ice last and delivered their best short program performance of the season. The reigning champs earned 73.13 points and lead last year's bronze medalists Felicia Zhang and Nathan Bartholomay, who earned 66.50 points. In third after their skate on Thursday are DeeDee Leng and Timothy LeDuc with 66.40 points. Champions in 2012, Caydee Denney and John Coughlin are in fourth with 65.40 points.
After mistakes in her short program last year, Gold made no mistake grabbing the lead after the short program. Her huge opening triple Lutz-triple toe led the way to a program that earned 72.12 points. In her senior debut, Polina Edmunds brought the fans to their feet with a performance that earned 66.75 points while 2010 Olympian Mirai Nagasu is in podium position with 65.44 points. Two-time reigning champion Ashley Wagner sits in fourth place with 64.71 points.
