The pair of Russian art & egrave; easily sets in both segments of the race laying down the law both on the technical and the artistic field, as evidenced by the best ratings on all the items of the program components. However, the free program choreographed by trusted Kapranova At the tune of the soundtrack of "Bram Stoker's' Dracula's" not & egrave; been without some small slip sull''esecuzione of lifting and triple toe loop in parallel, landed with the 'help of a step-out. The triple twist and the throw jumps, triple Rittberger of all, are, however, were made with high quality & agrave ;.
It is notable as the final score achieved by Volosozhar / Trankov result is pi & ugrave; lower than that clocked by compatriots Stolbova / Klimov in the Grand Prix Final in December. At this point, the 'hope & egrave; that during the World of Boston will finally go on stage that confrontation failed in three occasions so far available (the final of the Grand Prix, National Russian, European Championships).
Students Nina Mozer preceded by almost twenty points the expected Germans Aliona Savchenko / Bruno Massot, that segment pi & ugrave; long race have paid a day matte Massot. The transalpine first performed a double toe loop instead & egrave; three times in the opening sequence of two triple toe loop and in the final program & egrave; dropped physically unable to bring home the last two lifts. The reverse span & egrave ;, in fact, "collapsed," while lifting group four & egrave; irregular result. Beyond the & agrave; of today's worries, the debut & egrave; It was convincing as the Franco-Ukrainian association revealed a considerable potential and, above all, & egrave; managed to keep the wake of Volosozhar / Trankov on program components, it made tutt''altro trivial. Nell''occasione, Aliona Savchenko closed the 'eighth career medal in the European Championships.
The podium & egrave; was completed by the young Russian Evgenia Tarasova / Vladimir Morozov, authors of the second-ever score in the free program that stood out for the quality & agrave; twist and lifting, but left some points on the plate opening combination with a double toe loop instead & egrave; triple and mulling sull''arrivo triple Rittberger. On balance, the place of 'honor & egrave; It was narrowly missed pi & ugrave; three lengths, but the 'look & more ugrave; important & egrave; was re-confirm the result of twelve months ago with two tests altogether more & ugrave; convincing. & nbsp;
The 'uncertain fight for fourth place saw the French come out winners Vanessa James / Morgan Cipres, never cos & Igrave; high in the continental event. The couple Alps, able to retouch the national leader, presented the program free pi & ugrave; Extreme race down the track with the 'intention to implement a combination of two triple toe loop and quad salchow launched. James does not have to & ograve; completed the rotation of the second toe loop, while the cast & egrave; It was landed with the 'help of a step-out. & nbsp;
After that, you are placed Italians Valentina Marchei / Ondrej Hotarek, which, in line with the predictions of the vigil, have recovered ground in the segment P & ugrave; long race supported by a base value exceeded only by that of the French and, above all, by the third abutment technician. The couple blue, for the first time scollinata over the one hundred and eighty points, has passed unscathed the 'tough triple twist being able to perform as planned. Obviously, the strength proved jumps in parallel, the higher value than the competition, and the cast, now well executed. To make a further step forward now becomes essential to work on the quality & agrave; execution of each element, a sine qua non to aspire to a placing in the top ten positions in the next World Cup.
Nicole Della Monica and Matteo Guarise have, however, confirmed the sixth place last season's beaten by less than three points from Marchei / Hotarek. The national champions have performed well most of the elements of torque being awarded the degree of execution, but were penalized by the fall of Della Monica on the triple toe loop, which was supposed to open the combination in fact losing an entire element. & Nbsp;
Entrants White Manacorda / Niccol & ograve; Macii closed the first European career in twelfth place is not going away from the personal best, it would be well within reach if it had occurred a mishap on the step in period, lifting the second group of five presented. Nell''occasione, Macii & egrave; He was adept at completing the 'element, but there are no longer serious points, which are added to those lost due to a step-load on the triple toe loop in parallel become double.
In light of today's result, Russia, Germany and Italy will field three couples in the next European Championships, while France, Austria and Belarus will have two seats.
