Ice dell''Oriental Sports Center in Shanghai, where in October he won the third leg of the Grand Prix, the eighteen year stationed in St. Petersburg had most of the competition in both segments of the race, making systematically score the best technical score and evaluation pi & ugrave; high on each item of the program components. On balance, after the defeat suffered by Elena Radionova at Skate America, Tuktamysheva has strung together a long series of successes by triumphing in the overall standings dell''ISU Challenger Series, in the final of the Grand Prix and in the European Championships. The 'only blemish in a season to remember & egrave; was represented by the defeat in the National Sochi, arrived again at the hands of Radionova.
In the free program, the 'student of Alexei Mishin has rinuciato to risky triple axel, but comuque completed two double axel and seven triple jumps, including two lutz. The only smudge noteworthy concerned the combination triple lutz / double toe loop / triple toe loop and double Rittberger / triple toe loop. However, in both cases & egrave; emerged as a condition of excellence after a ride too sull''atterraggio the first jump, Tuktamysheva & egrave; was still able to perform equally as planned.
Overall, from the serene analysis of the competition, emerges as just the dominance technical elements jump compared all''attuale competition turned out to be the key to the 'easy success.
Winner aside, there have been surprises and, in particular, Russia is not & egrave; failed to achieve the goals that seemed obvious on the eve. The 'waiting Elena Radionova complicit unusual steps to empty on the jumps, you & egrave ;, in fact, due to settle for bronze medal, leaving the field open to the Japanese Satoko Miyahara. The sixteen year old Muscovite, sixth segment pi & ugrave; long race, ended with a sort of step-out the second double axel, but above all he completed only double what would have been the second triple Rittberger, without forgetting other landings definitely the limit. Despite a miserable day, & egrave; still showed the stubbornness & agrave; dell''atleta, able to recover on the way the combination triple lutz / triple toe loop is not executed at the opening.
The seventeen Miyahara, grown nell''occasione three points in the sum of the components of the program, had the merit of performing impeccably two double axel and six triple jumps, which must be added a triple lutz under rotated and landed with a step-out and the 'support of a hand on ghaccio. The result dell''attuale national champion has cos & Igrave; allowed Japan to be confirmed on the podium at the World Championships for the tenth consecutive season.
Standings at hand, it is clear how the medals debutante Miyahara and Radionova propriziate have been the result of the short program, which allowed both to accumulate the critical margin to guard against the bully back of US athletes, pi & ugrave; brilliant segment pi & ugrave; long race,
Gracie Gold, second in the free program, & egrave; managed to gain four positions andandosi to place at the foot of the podium. The diciannovvenne dell''eterno coached Frank Carroll has finally revealed that potential, which for too long emerges intermittently, completing two double axel and seven triple jumps, including superb combinations triple lutz / triple toe loop and double axel / triple toe loop, which have compensated to a triple flip taken from a Flio markedly outside and all''atterraggio with step-out of the second triple lutz.
Not & egrave; was outdone, the pi & ugrave; Ashley Wagner sailed, lifts dall''undecsimo in fifth place and able to hold the wake of compatriot in the free thanks to two double axel and triple seven executed, including for & ograve; a toe loop and a salchow short rotation. It should, however, remarked how the twenty-three stationed in California was preceded only by Tuktamysheva in the evaluation of program components.
Afterwards you have placed the Japanese Rika Hongo, for the first time in his career than the one hundred and eighty points, and Kanako Murakami, which preceded the US Polina Edmunds, the Chinese Li Zijun, today all''altezza the short program, and French Mae Berenice Meite, for the first time among the top ten in the World Championships.
The day has not given satisfaction to the Italian athletes, clearly less at ease than Thursday on Igrave ;. The best you & egrave; confirmed Rodeghiero Roberta, who finished the race in twentieth position, three accomplices fall over on triple lutz under rotated, a triple flip and a triple Rittberger. Almost twenty-five native Asiago nevertheless completed stubbornness & agrave; two double axel and three triple jumps, two toe loop and a salchow. The Russian rookie Jade has, however, confirmed the twenty-fourth place of the short-program distinguished by the usual quality & agrave; on the tops, but also because of the obvious difficulty & agrave; on the elements of jump. The roadmap today & egrave ;, in fact, characterized by two double axel well executed and a combination triple salchow / double toe loop, but also by a bad fall on the first triple salchow and two triple toe loop, double degraded. It remains, however, the satisfaction with the new record of the race official.
In light of today's result, Russia, Japan and the United States will deploy three athletes in the next World Championships in Boston, while China, France, Canada and Korea will have two seats. & Nbsp;
