From chills this race where, among all, the'' Yuzuru Hanyu won the day one big sweep. His "Romeo and Juliet", in fact, it opens immediately comfortable with the quadruple salchow, finally completed well even if landed slightly forward. Continue with applause from the quadruple toe loop, two triple axels and five triples, not all performed better perhaps, but always saved in landing with skill by veteran. Of course also excellent judgment on the components of the program, 91.42, for a total of 191.35 Free
One evening, this, that will remain engraved in the memory of Tatsuki Machida with a bittersweet taste. The Japanese did in fact pulls out a majestic performance but that was not enough to win the championship at home, for only a few cents (34) on the total score of 282.26. Machida opens his riveting "Firebird" with two excellent quadruple toe loop, one in combination, performs the beautiful triple axel-triple toe loop combination and a triple axel saves wrong party. Fight with nails and teeth also to complete the other four triples (small step-out on the loop) and recorded a deserved increase the program components that go up to 90.20 for a total of 184.05 in the free.
Good day for Javier Fernandez resumed after the ill-fated Olympic parentheses. More light and shade for the Iberian'' that has, and complete three quads in his free as expected: first the toe loop, salchow then finally another perfectly executed quadruple salchow in the second part of the program. The notes mourners arrive on the combination with the lutz, only run single, imperfect'' atterragio also on the triple flip, however, completed in sequence with the triple salchow. The score of 275.93 decrees European leader in total and then gives Spain a'' other historic bronze medal for the movement.
The quad is rather mixed blessing for Maxim Kovtun, at the foot of the podium with 247.37. The Russian opens its program badly lacking in fact the detachment for the planned quadruple salchow which then performs only single. Complete the quadruple toe loop rather well and four other triples and get a high score on the components of the program (82.28). The budget may not be positive for this Russian guy who suffered so much, in season, then the voltage on its failure to convene the Olympics.
Mention'' in honor of Jeremy Abbott, who could not close the best of his career giving away to all fans of the discipline a memorable moment in sports. The U.S. has in fact ended in fifth place thanks to a free anthology: complete the quadruple toe loop and triple axel-double toe loop early, the rest of the free almost slips away easily with a nice combination triple lutz-triple toe loop-double toe loop (sottoruotata ) and a second triple axel in the second part of the program. All at the four remaining elements including the lyric sequence of steps for a program that will no doubt in the history of artistic quality.
In sixth place an opaque still Kozuka, who manages to complete the quadruple toe loop though on two feet but then blot the remaining elements with many imperfections. Too, Han Yan, seventh with 231.91, it was not shown to best missing four times and fell very ill on the triple axel, full well, however, the other four triples and collect all the items on four levels. The most important concerns the placement, which allows China to bring two athletes in the next edition of the World Cup which will be the host country.
In the top ten are also the American Aaron (225.66) and the French Besseghier (224.19), while the Czech Verner fails to match the intentions expressed during the short end of the best of his career and his stain free with too many errors ending with a tenth place.
Day of celebration for skating masculine blue, thanks to the admirable performance of Ivan Righini, interrupts the negative parabola of getting a low ranking thirteenth place in the standings. Ivan has indeed done a very good exercise incurring only two small flaws: the first right on the triple axel original rests his hand where all'' and the second landing on the triple lutz combination (methane)-oiler-double salchow not precise but still completed in level of rotation. The rest of'' exercise contained a second triple axel, well completed in combination with the double toe loop as well as a triple flip and a triple lutz style Boitano (also called Tano). Also satisfactory judgment on the components of the program, considering the few appearances of the new blue in recent international competitions.
