In light of the twelve plentiful points earned in the short program, the success of the Olympic champion was now taken for granted, but The beauty of sports is also in the fact that there alcunch & egrave; for granted and often do not lack the space to realize business hardly predictable.
After attending a short circuit it is difficult to explain that hit the & rsquo; regular training partner, Fernandez has left no stone unturned to defend the title unleashing a benefit gi & agrave; entered fully into the history of the discipline. The almost twenty-five Madrid, took to the track on the notes of the success of Frank Sinatra & ldquo; Guys & amp; Dolls & rdquo; He has brilliantly completed three quadruple jumps and seven triples, including two axel, and imposed detachments abysmal all & rsquo; entire clearly outclassed competition on the technical side and on each of the components of the program entry. Also on the musical note with great dynamism and personality & agrave; for sale, l & rsquo; Brian Orser student scored in the pi & ugrave segment; long race the beauty of 216.41 points, second only to the feedback from Hanyu 219.48 realized in the Grand Prix final.
L & rsquo; expected Japanese faced extremely tight race today and the contract immediately by giving the & rsquo; impresssione to be concentrated only on individual elements and not on & rsquo; entire program. The main problems concerned the quadruple salchow, jump in training had provided great certainties. The first attempt & egrave; It was completed with the & rsquo; one hand resting on the ice, while the second is & egrave; It ended with a disastrous fall into the boards. In addition, the combination of three jumps not & egrave; It was completed as planned and even triple lutz, last jump element, & egrave; It has been landed with huge trouble. Nell & rsquo; occasion, twenty-one of Sendai has proved to be human and vulnerable cos & igrave; like all showing the public and opponents weaknesses. With hindsight, the fact that he stayed away from racing for more than three months did not pay dividends, but will exist & agrave; never a rebuttal in that regard. L & rsquo; only cold comfort & egrave; It was represented by the achievement of the coveted level four in the sequence of steps. Hanyu, despite the errors and the provision clearly subdued, it got the second score in the free program totaling a final tally of more than 295 fee, which in all editions of the past would guarantee a clear statement.
One of the highlights of the race & egrave; revealed l & rsquo; heated confrontation with giving away the bronze medal involving five athletes enclosed in little more & ugrave; of five points. Leveraging a clear superiority & agrave; Jumping on the elements & rsquo; he checked the Chinese rookie Jin Boyang, became only eighteen the first man in history to land four quadruple jumps in a free to a World Championship program. The fourth & egrave; It was conquered by & rsquo; Russian Mikhail Kolyada emerging, author of two programs without any burring that allowed him to rip Evgeni Plushenko the national record dated 2012. The twenty-one of St. Petersburg to debut in a World Championships you & egrave; Distinguished for the complete package and the quality & agrave; each element including a sumptuous quadruple toe loop.
Canadian Patrick Chan, third after the short program, & egrave; He was penalized by some jumps too devoid of planned rotations and & egrave; had to settle for fifth position immediately in front of the American Adam Rippon, did not go far from completing the quadruple lutz (judged under rotated from the panel) and able to snatch Jason Brown the national record at the end of a test of personality & agrave; and especially of undisputed technical thickness. In sixth position is & egrave; He placed the eighteen year old Japanese Shoma Uno, who lost the chance & agrave; on the podium in a ruinous falling on the second attempt to quadruple toe loop.
The day of grace for athletes with stars and stripes also involved Max Aaron, capable cos & igrave; Rippon how to break through the wall of the ninety points on the technical side to date tab & ugrave; for any compatriots, and Grant Hochstein, author of the new personal best. Ironically, the sixth of Rippon, l & rsquo; Aaron eighth and tenth Hochstein will not be enough to ensure the United States three seats for the next world championships.
Ivan Righini, blue only this, he improved his result from Saitama in 2014 by closing the test in twelfth position. The national champion landed a good quadruple toe loop all & rsquo; beginning of the program, but after having filed a fall on the second attempt to triple axel, lost the thread in the second part of the music fell on a double axel and performing in the final a couple of jumps double instead & eacute; triples. Errors aside, the twenty-four trained by Michael Huth has acquired the confidence to aim for a placing in the top ten to the point that not fail & agrave; regret for the end result.
Analyzing the cold numbers, it appears as the & rsquo; entire male sector is performing great strides. In the race of Boston, twenty-one athletes are at least two hundred and two points, that never happened in the past editions in which the twenty-categorized had never pushed beyond centonovantatr & egrave; points.
In virt & ugrave; the final list, only Japan potr & agrave; field three skaters in the next edition, which will have & agrave; Olympic qualifying value. Spain, Canada, the US, China, Czech Republic and Russia will have two places available.
