In spite of the period of the season, the pair of artistic Canadian has revealed a state of the form gi & agrave; dazzling broke down immediately the remarkable threshold of two hundred points (203.16).
In particular, the students of Richard Gauthier and Bruno Marcotte, companion in life just Meagan Duhamel, have adjusted their personal best in the segment pi & ugrave; long race to a total of 134.24. The choice of music, a medley of the Muses, and especially l & rsquo; order of several songs have appeared really hit the spot giving a crescendo of intensity & agrave; and emotions from a seasoned & rsquo; technical excellence with rare unequaled in history. The three times national champions have, in fact, presented for the first time in the competition launched quadruple salchow, moreover completed. Previously, a Canadian couple had never landed a quadruple launched in an international competition. In addition, we have attempted, in the & rsquo; occasion with good results, on the triple lutz in parallel and have also tried a combination triple toe loop / double toe loop / double toe loop, not completed due to a step-out of Duhamel after the first double toe loop. Compared to the past, the program & egrave; been enriched with various stages of transition, among them being some sort of lift, borrowed from dance, before the triple lutz launched. If you really want to find hair in & rsquo; egg, the preparation of the quadruple salchow & egrave; was resulting in eternal sacrifice of part of the choreography, but the game & egrave; worth the candle.
L & rsquo; impression & egrave; that the two times world medalists have not wanted to leave no stone unturned in an attempt to bridge the gap that separated them in the recent past by Russian couples rush. It goes without s & eacute; that from here on forward, will have to be accommodated various details, including the closure to effect a lifting group of the three. The 'incipit is seasonal & egrave; however, revealed a good omen.
The place of 'honor, at the end of a convincing comeback & egrave; was won by the Americans Haven Denney / Brandon Frazier (167,25), recent winners of the Lombardy Trophy. The performance in the free program of the pair coached by John Zimmermann & egrave; proved to be truly remarkable. The former junior world champions have a well-executed triple twist of enormous magnitude, and the two throw jumps (triple Rittberger and triple salchow), limiting with respect to the customs, the steps to empty on the jumps in parallel. Nell & rsquo; occasion, in fact, the triple salchow & egrave; was well landed, and has created some heartache in pi & ugrave; both the sequence of two double axel.
The podium & egrave; was completed by Jessica Calalang / Zach Sidhu (156.46), now in crisis on lifting group five species l & rsquo; axel lasso not executed. The performance in the free program & egrave; been positive with regard to triple twist and triple cast, but in the & rsquo;'s economy was also affected by the difficulty score & agrave; in parallel on the triple salchow, double and triple for Calalang with step-out and hand on the ice for Sidhu. Errors aside, students of Todd Sand took their satisfaction retouch of a few tenths of the total primacy of race.
& Nbsp; After that, you are placed novices Canadians Natasha Purich / Sebastian Wolfe (147.95), now penalized by a couple of falls, but still able to precede his countrymen, as well as & eacute; training partners Vanessa Grenier / Maxime Deschamps (145.00), authors of a decent free despite the fall Grenier is on the triple toe loop that would open a combination with a double toe loop.
The Russians expected Vasillisa Davankova / Alexander Enbert (142.60) have had to settle for sixth place in the free program revealing all the limitations of a couple of very recent formation. & Nbsp; positive, we can mention the lifting of the five group and the combination triple toe loop / double toe loop, which for & ograve; was offset by the problems on the salchow in parallel, the top pair lost in the street and throw jumps performed intentionally double.
In the ranking of the & rsquo; ISU Challenger Series remain in the lead Americans Alexa Scimeca / Chris Knierim (329.34), followed by compatriots now Denney / Frazier (325.05) and Calalang / Sidhu (312.64)
