At the end of a very tight comparison, success & egrave; went to Canadians Meagan Duhamel / Eric Radford that, on the ice of the Yoyogi National Gymnasium in Tokyo, preceded by a narrow margin the Chinese Wenjing Sui / Cong Han. It should be noted as compared to the first segment of the race you swapped sides on every aspect, including the response to components of the program that he smiled for the first time this season to the vice-world champions. & Nbsp; The rulers of the season, despite a quadruple salchow launched concluded with a fall, have, however, had the better on the technical side, aided by a vacuum passage of the Chinese on the triple salchow parallel completed only twice from Sui. A margin can not & ograve; pass unnoticed that Duhamel / Radford have gone for the fourth consecutive race over the one hundred and forty points in the free program.
Surprisingly, Americans Alexa Scimeca / Chris Knierim, today nearly flawless on the jumps in parallel, came in third place ahead of the pi & ugrave; quoted Russians Yuko Kavaguti / Alexander Smirnov, sold & egrave; enough to make up for the quadruple salchow launched in various smears including the fall of the triple toe loop in parallel Kavaguti properly judged under-rotated. Students of Dalilah Sappenfield have confirmed the important progress made manifest in the course of the season, scoring the new national record and probably the closing speech alleging & rsquo; yet another victory in the stars and stripes in the World Team Trophy.
In compliance with the prediction of the eve, the French Vanessa James / Morgan Cipres have had to settle for fifth coin with a significant gap over the competition pi & ugrave; qualified. & nbsp; As expected, the Japanese Ami Koga / Francis Boudrea-Audet, to debut in the senior category, ended the program in last place by touching the skating personal best and almost the best of current possibilities & agrave ;, triple toe loop in parallel apart.
For one game at the end of & rsquo; event, the United States leads the standings with seven points margin over Russia and Japan. Hopelessly detached Canada that, for the first time in history, no salir & agrave; on the podium.
