Nell & rsquo; Final Act, there have been fires d & rsquo; artifice and, in a reversal of the standings and l & rsquo; another, the audience of the TD Garden in Boston was able to attend one of the competitions with the pi & ugrave; high technical level of the story.
The numbers in this direction appear incontrovertible. Eleven skaters have gone beyond the one hundred and twenty points in the pi & ugrave segment; long race, when in the past in any top-level competitions was the maximum of nine (Sochi, 2014 Olympics). In addition, seven athletes have got more & ugrave; a total of 200 points, another unprecedented fact. In line with what happened in the other three specialties & agrave ;, are perci memorize options flaked continental primates, domestic and personal.
In accordance with the predictions of the vigil, you & egrave; sets the Russian rookie Evgenia Medvedeva, capable in the first season in the top category to triumph on every front available cos & igrave; as happened at junior level. Third after the short program, the 'student of Ethers Tutberdize has entered the high-speed segment in pi & ugrave; long race in which every element has performed with surgical precision getting four cents more & ugrave score; highest in history (150.10). In the past, the only Korean Yu-Na Kim had been able to go beyond fifty proportion.
The sixteen year old Muscovite & egrave ;, ovvivamente, took to the track with the 'intention to run two double axel and seven triple jumps crowning the' lens with a quality & agrave; not clearly evident from the enemy. In fact, although not the first class in terms of value based, Medvedeva clocked the best technical feedback thanks to a degree of realization of 'excellence, which have affected spins and steps.
Of the 'silver medal, with a higher gap to eight points behind the winner, & egrave; over to the veteran Ashley Wagner neck, after ten long years of absence he has brought the United States on the podium female dell''evento. The twenty-four stationed in California & egrave; It was the best of the lot on each item of the components of the program and, unlike what happened in the important events of the past, & egrave; managed to limit the steps to empty on jumping elements revealing un''evidente growth on tops, usually not the specialty & agrave; of the House. The only smudge covered a short rotation triple toe loop and a triple flip landed with a sort of step-out and found to be under-rotated. Nell''occasione & egrave; He fell twice the US national record, adjusted in principle to Gracie Gold, the fourth end, and a few minutes later by Wagner. The 'student of Frank Carroll, the competition leader after the short program, he said goodbye to the chance & agrave; of the coin falling on the triple combination lutz / triple toe loop opening and running a double lutz instead & egrave; three times in the second half & agrave; of music. It '' was cos & igrave; confirmed the reputation of the eternal unfinished, daughter dell''incapacit & agrave; to be able to execute a free program without empty script.
The podium & egrave; deservedly it has been completed by the Russian Anna Pogorilaya, author of a fundamental leap of quality & agrave; in pi & ugrave time; important of the season. Almost eighteen years old Muscovite, supported by a remarkable speed & agrave ;, has again performed a sumptuous combination triple lutz / triple toe loop and took home no particular worries two double axel and seven triples, including a triple flip that generously has not received the due calling of wrong input wire.
In fifth and sixth totaled Japanese Satoko Miyahara and the Russian Elena Radionova, authors of no particular evidence smudging, but remained at the foot of the podium, won last season, because of the ground lost in the short program. Both have, however, received score that in all the previous editions of the World Championships would have earned at least the 'silver medal. In any case, evidence of a clear leveling of values, Medvedeva unsubsidized, the gap between the second and sixth & egrave; nell''ordine was five and a half points.
Even the veteran Mao Asada, seventh comeback, & egrave; scollinata more than two hundred points making the most ugrave & Leisure; competitive of the season, excluding Japan Open. It goes without s & egrave; that to keep the wake of pi & ugrave; young people, will be & agrave; necessary to remedy the problem of missing rotations on all''atavico jump elements. Behind the twenty-five of Nagoya you & egrave; placed compatriot Rika Hongo, able to sign new staff limit cos & igrave; like the Canadian progressed Gabrielle Daleman, ninth brilliant.
Overall, all of the performance of the athletes took to the track in the last two groups were convincing, as evidenced by the scores obtained by the American Mirai Nagasu, the Chinese Li Zijun and rookie Kazakh Elizabet Tursynbaeva, finished nell''ordine from tenth to twelfth place . For two Asian & egrave; also got the new national record.
 Roberta Rodeghiero, only Italian athlete, you & egrave; placed in sixteenth place getting the best result of his career in a world event. The veteran Venetian & egrave; It was more & ugrave; convincing in the short program, but also in more & ugrave segment; long race has had the merit of completing two double axel and five triple jumps, including a lutz landed with the 'help of a step-out. The Annual Report of the season, that you should concluder & agrave; at the Kos & egrave; Team Challenge Cup, widening remains actively and ennobled by the fifth place in the European Championships and the podium arrived in the troubled Troph & egrave; and Eric Bompard Bordeaux.
In virt & ugrave; the final standings, Japan, United States and Russia will deploy three athletes in the next edition, while Canada and China will have two spaces available.
With the flick of the tail designer Medvedeva-Pogorilaya, the medal of the World Championships in Boston & egrave; It was won by Russia with one gold and one bronze. The United States, however, even without storing successes, were the 'only nation to win three medals. It should be noted as for the second consecutive year, the most & ugrave step; top of the podium was occupied by athletes from four different countries. .
