The 'Oriental Sports Center in Shanghai & egrave; was the scene of the triumph of the pair of French dance, which, archived victory Cappellini / Lanotte of twelve months ago, & egrave; managed to retain the title World Championships in Europe, surpassing the listed North American competition.
That the free dance this season, masterfully "designed" by Marie France Dubreuil sull''Adagio n. 23 Mozart, was one of the most & ugrave; spot-it was understood from dell''autunno from beginning, but at that time no one would have predicted a final crowned by victory in the World Cup, also andnot only the light dell''et & agrave; Papadakis / CIZERON, then still nineteen and with limited experience at the highest levels.
Just the free dance has been the key to the success pi & ugrave; important in a career that promises radiant because & egrave; even highly decorated Virtue / Moir had imposed cos & Igrave; young people in a world event. Nell''occasione, Papadakis / CIZERON, driven by the best technical score and evaluation pi & ugrave; high on each item of the components of the program, they were able to overturn the result of short-dance becoming the first in history to establish itself after having finished fourth the first part of the race. The point pi & ugrave; high test today you & egrave; revealed the sequence of steps in a circle, which has earned the 'unique four level assigned in the race, but, in any case, diagonally apart, all the elements provided they have reached the maximum level available with a degree of execution from the first class, worthy of the partnerships that have dominated the 'last four years.
The main representatives of the increasingly & ugrave; emerging school of Montreal also ripped the European record for the Russians Ilinykh / Katsalapov becoming the fourth French couple, after the brothers Duchesnay, Anissina / Peizerat and Delobel / Schoenfelder, to win a world title. At this point, for & ograve ;, c '' & egrave; great curiosity & agrave; to ascertain whether they will be the first to reconfirm a second time at the top.
In second place were placed Americans Madison Chock / Evan Bates, who, for the first time during the season, they managed to precede Canadians Kaitlyn Weaver / Andrew Poje, setting them in both parts of the race and especially preceding them on components the program of free dance, unpublished fact. Ci & ograve; Accordingly, the performance of the two North American associations were absolutely excellent, as witnessed by the new personal samples obtained from national stars and stripes, despite a little uncertainty about twizzle. For students of Pasquale Camerlengo, the second podium of his career, remains, however, regret the 'wasted opportunity and the knowledge that the separation from the head & egrave; dilated compared all''anno past.
Anna Cappellini and Luca Lanotte have abdicated from samples and finished the race in fourth position with a new national record and two proofs altogether without spots. In the light of autumn adventures, the result can not & ograve; to be considered positive and could also represent the spur to continue to fight with more couples & ugrave; young and on the rise. On the sidelines, it should be noted as the peak torque of the Italian movement has finished in fourth position both on the technical components of the program while making a draw with Weaver / Poje in calls panel.
Afterwards, came the Americans Maia Shibutani / Alex Shibutani, who pushed by the new personal have climbed no particular worries Russians Elena Ilynikh / Ruslan Zhiganshin nuafragati in seventh place, thanks to a free dance that never in the course of the season & egrave; revealed like the short-dance. In the middle were placed Canadians Piper Gilles / Paul Poirier, capable for the 'umpteenth time to raise the bar in terms of points dell''asticella
Ilinykh / Zhiganshin preceded compatriots Ksenia Monko / Kirill Khaliavin and Alexandra Stepanova / Ivan Bukin, who ugrave & pi; some less authors of a remarkable comeback with the best free dance ever skating career. The result for the Russian movement, however, can not & ograve; be considered positive as it will come & agrave; not a place for the next edition of the World Cup.
& Nbsp;
In light of today's results, France, United States and Canada will field three couples in the next edition of the World Championships, while Russia and Italy will have two seats.
