For the 'occasion, the eighteen year old Russian wanted to make it big and you & egrave; granted the luxury of complete so egregious triple axel, element she never presented in a top-level event. Moreover, despite being forced to change the construction of the program, has performed no heartache even triple lutz preceded by the step as well & egrave; the combination triple toe loop / triple toe loop placed in the second half & agrave; music and followed by the best sequence of steps of the competition.
In essence, the 'student of Alexei Mishin presented a combination of elements that would be competitive even in the men tearing at Carolina Kostner European record, but especially facedo score the best technical score ever since the segment pi & ugrave; short of race includes seven items. Tuktamysheva, which the public dell''Oriental Sports Center gave practically a prolonged standing ovation, outclassed their opponents on each item of the program components accumulating a margin of eight lengths abundant on pi & ugrave; immediate pursuer.
As expected, in the second position is & egrave; attested the sixteen year old Russian Elena Radionova, able to run a program without smudging, embellished with a spectacular spinning upside down. The young Muscovite, took to the track to exploit Tuktamysheva gi & agrave; realized, however, has skated with great maturity & agrave; fluency in completing the elements of the planned jump (combination triple lutz / triple toe loop followed by triple Rittberger and double axel, both located in the second half & agrave; disk).
A sorpesa third place & egrave; was conquered by the Japanese Satoko Miyahara, who celebrated seventeenth birthday with a new personal best, the result of a test or almost as & egrave; perfect. The national champion of Japan has, however, presented a program with a technical content of base second only to that of the first in the standings proving esere one of the few in the world that can boast a proper grasp of flip and lutz.
The glories for the Japanese team, on the podium with un''atleta least in the last nine editions of the World Championships, were of far greater extent. In fact, a new-found Kanako Murakami, so far in the shade during the season, finished in fourth position bursting into tears liberating to score acquired, while Rika Hongo you & egrave; placed immediately behind the fellow with the satisfaction of being able to touch the personal best.
Afterwards, you & egrave; placed the hostess Zijun Li, penalized by a combination triple flip / triple toe loop with the second jump under-rotated, but flawless on the other elements, especially the spinners that have proven the best dell''intera race.
It should, however, stressed that the gap between the fifth of Rika Hongo and the tenth of the Canadian Alaine Chartrand is a little more than two lengths. In addition to the Chinese Li, you are placed in the middle also Polina Edmunds, best among the US despite the questionable choice to present the triple flip, Gracie Gold, still struggling with obvious problems with the triple lutz, and Anna Pogorilaya, fall into ruin after a triple Rittberger, but not in top condition due to recent physical problems.
The main disappointment of the competition is named Ashley Wagner sadly relegated to eleventh place at nine points behind the podium. The veteran US wanted to risk all for all aiming at the opening of the program on the almost unprecedented combination triple lutz / triple toe loop, which ended for & ograve; with a fall in turnover triple toe loop is not complete, not to mention that even the 'landing double axel and triple flip the rotation suspect & egrave; been extremely problematic.
On the same line can & ograve; be placed also the Finnish Kiira Korpi, even thirtieth after a trial in which blew the 'appointment with each element of the jump.
The budget can & ograve; be considered pi & ugrave; that positive for the Italian team. Both Roberta Rodeghiero that debuttanta Jade Russian have been able to qualify for the free program by touching the record official staff. The twenty-four stationed in Sesto San Giovanni, at the end of the seventeenth segment of the race, got a plebiscite of four levels of spins and steps being able to complete the combination triple toe loop / triple toe loop and save with teeth triple flip preceded by step. The seventeen year old from Turin, at the end of the twenty-fourth, & egrave; was higher than the countryman of steps and spins compensating cos & Igrave; all''atterraggio with step-out triple salchow preceded by the step and the problems of rotation on the double toe loop combination that closed the open from triple toe loop.
The free program is disputer & agrave; Saturday starting at 03:03 (10:30 in Shanghai).
