The success in this segment of the race went to Italian couple composed by Anna Cappellini and Luca Lanotte, who has missed the personal record, but most showed an exponential growth in the components of the program, historically certainly not their strong point. Students Paola Mezzadri and Igor Shpilband did score the best technical score of the day, the result of four levels of twizzles, rotational lift and the first sequence of finn-step. The real difference with respect to Russians Elena Ilinykh / Nikita Katsalapov, runners, however, has focused on the sequence of steps in which the association no touch blue scored a three level regardless of the level two of the rivals. The continental vice-champions in office were, however, the best on the components of the program amounting to a remarkable 35.83, which placed them just behind the Davis / White and Virtue / Moir.
In the free dance program in the evening tomorrow, will resurface therefore a challenge that with mixed results was one of the leitmotifs of recent seasons, although this time the stakes will be more important. In particular, Cappellini / Lanotte try to match Fusar Poli / Margaglio, only couple of Italian dance so far able to impose itself in the European Championships in'' now distant 2001.
L'' uncertain battle for the third position has dominated the British Penny Coomes / Nicholas Buckland, who legitimized the placement by recording the third technical score and the third overall assessment component of the program. In the wake of the Russian couples were placed Victoria Sinitsina / Zhiganshin Ruslan and Ekaterina Riazanova / Ilya Tkachenko, who confirmed the leveling of values ​​emerged during the recent national championships. In optics bronze medal, also still in the running Azeris Julia Zlobina / Alexei Sitnikov and the Germans Nelli Zhiganshina / Alexander Gazsi. Specifically, evidence of'' uncertainty'' that reigned supreme before the start of the race, the gap between third and seventh'' remained in the order of a couple of points.
'' All eighth place stood Italians Charlene Guignard / Marco Fabbri, authors of the personal best and not so far away from the third place, despite the regret remains to level two on the second finn-step sequence that has not done justice to the technical caliber of the couple.
Even Lorenza Alessandrini / Simone Vaturi you are qualified for the free dance closing in nineteenth position.
Among the disappointed of the day, the French stand Pernelle Carron / Lloyd Jones, which did not go beyond the tenth place because of the lost ground due to twizzles and finn-step sequences.
Finally, it should be noted the twelfth of the Slovak-Italian couple Federica Testa / Lukas Csolley and thirteenth of Italian tedesci Tanja Kolbe / Stefano Caruso, with credentials that will try to enter the top ten.
