Nell''occasione, the Russian veterans have offered valuable elements to silence the many doubters that, perhaps too hastily, gave them gi & agrave; for finished. Clearly, the average level of competition & egrave; exponentially grown since the Olympic Games in 2014, but the students of Nina Mozer have hinted they are still in possession of important papers to put on the plate.
Took to the track on the notes of the soundtrack of the film Bram Stoker ''s, the fresh spouses have performed in a superlative most elements presented & nbsp; touching perfection of triple twist, triple toe loop in parallel and triple flip launched, novelty & agrave; this season. The program & egrave; revealed immediately packed steps of transition, despite the period of the season, and each element & egrave; It was "built" with extreme attention to detail. As expected, Volosozhar / Trankov have clocked evaluation pi & ugrave; high on each item of the program components, but, unlike yesterday, they had widely prevail even on the technical front.
The reigning Olympic champions, winners at Oberstdorf also in 2013, preceded the Americans Alexa Scimeca / Chris Knierim, able to present a remarkable quadruple twist and finally able to complete the most of the 'tough triple salchow in parallel. At ease on lifts and throw jumps, the defending champions have bungled US national of one that probably should have been a sequence of two triple toe loop, but have aroused un''impressione positive, cos & Igrave; as the winning couple, they have added new elements of value to the technical background.
The podium & egrave; It was completed by the French Vanessa James / Morgan Cipres, today authors of a compelling triple twist, as well as throw jumps and lifts quality & agrave ;, but penalized by a fall on the triple toe loop in parallel James. After the splendor of the short program, novices Germans Mari Vartmann / Ruben Blommaert have, however, had to settle for fourth place, accomplices falls on jumps in parallel. In any case, the performance of the students of the spouses Wende have hinted a potential very interesting that, in default of Savchenko / Massot, could allow them to fight for the top five positions in the next continental event.
The expected Canadian Julianne Seguin and Charlie Bilodeau have not gone beyond the fifth highlighting a physical condition far removed dall''optimun, witnessed by the difficulties & agrave; met in the final two lifts. Unlike habits, it has, however, aroused amazement mistakes on jumps in parallel, usually the highlight of the house.
