Olympic Youth Games champion and world silver medallist Kagiyama tops the standings after registering 97.80 points at the test event for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.

His performance - which included two quad jumps - was enough to edge ahead of 17-year-old compatriot Shun Sato who scored 90.77.

China’s Jin Boyang sits in third position with 85.02 ahead of Latvia’s Deniss Vasiljevs and South Korea’s Cha Jun-hwan, who notched 84.75 and 74.47 respectively.

"For me, personally, this ice is amazingly easy to skate on," said Kagiyama, per Kyodo News.

"I'm glad I was able to go all out."

Japanese skaters also fill the top two spots in the women’s competition with Sakamoto leading Mai Mihara.

Sakamoto climbed to the summit after scoring 76.70 as Mihara came second with 67.83 and Finland’s Jenni Saarinen finished third with 62.25.

The top five also includes Hong Kong’s Joanna So and China’s Zhu Yi who registered 53.50 and 52.88 respectively.

"I got a taste of the Olympics and enjoyed it," said Sakamoto.

"I jumped well in the short skate for the first time in a while, so I think it was a good job."

Sui Wenjing and Han Cong lead the way in the all-Chinese pairs competition after scoring 79.27 in the short programme.

There are also only two Chinese competitors in the ice dance contest, with Wang Shiyue and Liu Xinyu moving ahead with 75.67 in the rhythm dance.

Competition at the Capital Indoor Stadium is due to conclude tomorrow.
