Amercans Madison Chock and Evan Bates won the Skate America ice dance short competition Friday night.
Chock and Bates scored 68.96 points, outclassing the field in a competition that featured the Flamenco and Paso Doble.
The brother-sister combination of Americans Maia and Alex Shibutani (64.14) were second, with Russians Alexandra Stepanova and Ivan Bukin (56.37) in third.
North Americans have dominated ice dance in recent years, but reigning Olympic gold medalists Meryl Davis and Charlie White and 2010 champions Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir are not competing this season.
That leaves Chock and Bates to carry on the winning tradition, along with the Shibutanis, and the teams are holding the top two spots heading into Saturday's free skate.
The men's short program followed Friday night.
