During a race marked by a lengthy process of a high technical and artistic profile performances have fallen without continuity solution & agrave; Continental primates, domestic and personal. The day numbers speak incontrovertibly. For the first time in history, six skaters have gone over seventy points in a first-level competition. Twelve athletes, as occurred in Saitama World Cup 2014, are scollinate share over sixty, another unprecedented fact, it took just under fifty points to access the pi & ugrave segment; long race. & nbsp;
The main protagonist & egrave; He was the 'waiting hostess Gracie Gold home, actually born in Massachusetts. The stars and stripes national champion set the qualified competitors by clocking the best technical score topped off with the most & ugrave assessments; High on each of the components of the program entry. In today's test, they have failed the usual steps to empty on jumping elements and choreography, created by Lori Nichol on the song "El Choclo" he has enhanced the most complete package fielded dall''allieva Frank Carroll. Moreover, to find a more & ugrave feedback; high in a short program without triple axel and seven mandatory elements, you have to bother Carolina Kostner, who won a few tenths in more & ugrave; on the occasion of the World Championships in Saitama. The twenty-one stationed in California & egrave; distinguished by elegance, grace and speed & agrave; placing un''importante apply for bring home a title since back in 2006, when Kimmie Meissner won at Calgary.
Gold, author of the new European record, preceded by two large points the Russian Anna Pogorilaya, flawless today and appeared in great form from the first element. Almost eighteen years old Muscovite has doth the best combination triple lutz / triple toe loop of the race, but mostly performed steps and spins with a quality & agrave; often missed in the past. Compatriot Evgenia Medvedeva, favored the eve, you & egrave; to be content with the third coin, penalized by a landing at the tip of the triple flip that 'forced it to change the score in the race to retrieve the triple toe loop not executed. The 'student of Ethers Tutberidze, cone if nothing had happened, he had the merit to whip up a triple combination Rittberger / triple toe loop managed to limit the damage and to contain the detachment from nell''ordine leaders of the three points. A dust has settled, go to memorize options ;, noted as the degree of execution attributed to the triple flip was overly generous in light of a landing on the toe and especially dell''assenza an input step.
In the wake of the European Champion in office, with a gap of only six tenths, you & egrave; placed the US veteran Ashley Wagner, uphill shots exponentially and able to crumble the personal best. Subject to a technical content with previous rare in the past, the key to the outcome & egrave; was represented by the assessments of the components of the program, only second to those obtained from the Gold countryman.
In fifth place, behind the podium, you & egrave; attested the Russian seventeen elena radionova, who left on the plate a couple of important points because of a botched landing of the triple flip, but & egrave; even downright brilliant appeared on everything else. Always triple flip, judged under rotated from the panel, has clipped the wings to the Japanese Satoko Miyahara, sixth with just over & ugrave; three points to make up on pi & ugrave step; the bottom of the podium.
Among those, who although in different proportions, have gone beyond expectations, stand out the Japanese Rika Hongo and the Canadian Gabrielle Daleman, seventh and eighth respectively, with their personal limitations extensively retouched.
Japan's Mao Asada, the only skater in the race to have won in the past at least one world title, not & egrave; gone beyond the ninth position, accomplices in a triple axel rotated landed with the 'help of a step-out and feedback on program components rather strict.
There were, however, reasons for satisfaction for the American Mirai Nagasu, tenth in front of the Chinese Li Zijun and Kazakh Elizabet Tursynabeva, both brilliantly scollinate oltrei their national primates.
The 'blue Roberta Rodeghiero filed a convincing thirteenth place, propiziato as a test of solidity & agrave; on jump elements, starting with the triple combination toe loop / triple toe loop. The next twenty-six of Asiago & egrave; removed the satisfaction of being the best Russian apart dell''europee, but remains the right to regret a level too far left on the street on the combined top and sit on the flying, which, in any case, little would have changed the nell''economia Ranking.
The big disappointed the day carry the names of the French Mae Berenice Meite and the Swedish Joshi Helghesson, both non qualificatesi for the free program.
In the final segment of the race, to be held & agrave; Saturday at the conclusion of the competitive part of the World Championships, will be the North American game five, ten European and nine Asian.
