  "summary": "Japanese 18-year-old Rio Nakata placed first following the short program at Skate Canada on Friday, marking his figure skating Grand Prix Series debut, according to The Mainichi.\n\nIn a separate practice session at the Mexico City Grand Prix, Charles Leclerc led Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli, beating him by 0.659 seconds, according to Yahoo Sports. Antonelli can clinch his first world title by finishing ninth, regardless of other results, though his championship could theoretically be stopped if George Russell wins or if Lewis Hamilton finishes in a position that requires Antonelli to finish 10th. Frederik Vesti was third quickest in the session, followed by Hamilton.\n\nOther top performers in the practice session included Ayumu Iwasa in fifth place, ahead of Pierre Gasly and Fernando Alonso. The top 10 was completed by Oscar Piastri, Oliver Bearman, and Arvid Lindblad, Yahoo Sports reports.",
