For the first time in a World Championships, seven couples have exceeded seventy points and twelve have gone over sixty share. Nell''occasione, despite the 'obligation to perform a lifting group four, they fell two records continents, five national and twelve personal. Moreover, the jump launched ever more & ugrave; gettonato & egrave; It was the flip / lutz, by thirteen of the twenty-two members. The partial success & egrave; It was conquered by the Chinese Wenjing Sui / Cong Han, second pair in history after Volosozhar / Trankov to overcome hills beyond eighty lengths. Between the legitimate title contenders, the Zhao Hongbo students were the only ones to skate a program free of burrs and have created a vacuum on the technical side by performing extremely well with each element of merit known for triple flip launched, and the sequence of steps tricky death spiral backward. The vice-champions have stolen the 'eye for sophistication that has marked each step and seemed perfectly identified with the part set by the choreography devised by Lori Nichol on the song "Spanish Romance". Sui / Han preceded by almost three points Canadians Meagan Duhamel / Eric Radford, authors of the best performance of the season, which & egrave; also earned him the new European record. The title holders have well completed the 'unique triple lutz in parallel of the competition and, except for a small sull''atterraggio uncertainty of the triple lutz launched, they performed brilliantly each element. The separation from the Asian & egrave torque; He was the son of the degree of execution of each element, except for the death spiral back. The best assessments of the race of each item of the program components have allowed the Russians Tatiana Volosozhar / Maxim Trankov closing the race in third position. The Olympic champions, detached almost four points off the pace, have duty paid primarily because of a landing on two feet than triple flip launched and completed with some heartache too is the group lifting the four that the final top. Encyclopaedia & egrave ;, however, revealed the 'execution of triple twist, that alone & egrave; worth the price of admission. The Germans Aliona Savchenko rookies / Bruno Massot stood in fourth position by stealing the 'eye for a triple twist dall''altezza sidereal, but not spotless either launched on the triple flip landed on two feet on the triple toe loop in parallel, saved craft from Massot. The expected Russian Ksenia Stolbova / Fedor Klimov, on his return to competition after a break of nearly four months because of multiple injuries, they had to settle for fifth coin penalized by a triple twist not all''altezza the standards of the best couples. The winners of the Grand Prix final are to memorize options managed to limit the damage thanks to a triple toe loop in parallel to stun beauty and a triple flip launched the same caliber. There were reasons for satisfaction for the third Russian pair Evgenia Tarasova / Vladimir Morozov and Americans Alexa Scimeca / Chris Knierim, both scollinate over seventy points. The hosts, among the best ever on a couple elements, have remodeled the national record, but may even complain because of a fall on the triple salchow Knierim parallel cost all-inclusive than three points and as many places in the rankings.

In truth & agrave ;, in today's test, the national champions have gone far beyond overcoming share sixty thanks to consuet & agrave; cleanliness and punctuality & agrave; nell''esecuzione of torque elements which & egrave; un''esecuzione adding foreground triple salchow in parallel. It remains the 'bitter about having missed the personal best of pennies, thanks feedback on the program components that could have been more & ugrave; high of at least a punticino. Valentina Marchei and Ondrej Hotarek closed in thirteenth position with a delay of five lengths abbondandi by compatriots. The Franca Bianconi students, struggling with a new short program on the notes of Bizet's Carmen, have paid the price compared to all those who have preceded them on the evaluations of the components of the program confirming the atavistic difficulty & agrave; of triple twist and death spiral backward. It did not, however, been a problem the 'execution of triple salchow in parallel and triple flip launched.
