The seventeen year old Russian dominated the length and breadth of the women's short program, placing a serious mortgage on the ultimate success in the & rsquo; event hosted by "Barona Arena" Espoo and especially in the new circuit opened in the current season.
L & rsquo; student of Alexei Mishin, took to the runway to the tune of & ldquo; Bolero & ldquo; Ravel, & egrave; was simply impeccable on the elements of completing jump in so egregious a combination triple toe loop / triple toe loop, a triple lutz preceded by step and in the second half & agrave; of music, a double axel with arm raised. Moreover, in the light of the repurchased security in their own ability, daughter in particular the renewed integrity & agrave; physics, one & rsquo; interesting idea, in view of competitions & more ugrave; qualified, may be the displacement of the triple lutz in the second part of the program. TUKTAMYSHEVA has reached the maximum level available also on the sequence of steps, and on the flying sit on top upside down, historically l & rsquo; factor for her pi & ugrave; difficult, but compared to the Nebelhorn Trophy in Oberstdorf, left on a plate on the top level combined.
The result of today & egrave; was, in any case, important because é ;, the skater Russian, besides having improved their personal record, has passed for the first time in his career the 36 points of TES and the thirty lengths on components of the program.
In the second position, to everyone's amazement, he & egrave; placed the fifteen stationed in Lahti Liubov Efimenko (56,21), which, in the & rsquo; occasion, he crumbled the previous personal record. The native of St. Petersburg, but finladese passport, has undermined the hierarchy of the new recruits local performing a good triple flip, a triple toe loop combination / triple toe loop and, in the second half & agrave; music, the double axel ordinance, as well as tops that have earned the level of four.
The provisional podium & egrave; was completed by eighteen Japanese Rika Hongo (52,11). The national junior champion has presented a fairly ambitious program, but, in light of today's panel calls, & will have agrave; perhaps revise something in & rsquo; immediate future. In fact, the triple lutz preceded by the step element placed in the second half & agrave; music cos & igrave; as the double axel, he received a call to the external input wire that has not thwarted the proper execution. Hongo has also paid duty because of a barb on the initial combination, by a triple flip open and closed by a triple toe loop judged under rotated.
Following this, & egrave; placed the nineteen Finnish Juulia Turkkila (51,85), again at home on the combination triple toe loop / triple toe loop, but betrayed by a fall on the triple Rittberger preceded by the step, however short rotation.
L & rsquo; waiting American Samantha Cesario (50.79) is & egrave; had to settle for fifth place, still suffers from tops to break in and the questionable choice to execute a triple lutz, despite the obvious difficulties & agrave; to detach coming from the outer edge.
The hostess Jenni Saarinen (48,55), born and raised in Espoo, closed the segment of the race in sixth position, alternating moments of great skating, see the combination triple toe loop / triple toe loop, a striking passages in vacuum, see the only single lutz eeguito and perci & ograve; worthless in the light of the new regulations.
The palm of disappointment of the day it is, instead, to Russian Maria Artemyeva (47,43), went into crisis in the second part of the program is characterized by a single flip and a disastrous fall on the double axel. On the positive side, there remains the initial combination triple lutz / double toe loop and l & rsquo; excellent top end upside down.
Bad day for l & rsquo; Italian Carol Bressanutti (36,92), relegated to a melancholy fourteenth position. A part l & rsquo; abnormal penalty for starting late, the twenty-Alto Adige has quarreled with elements of jump landings tainting the double axel, triple toe loop combination / double toe loop and especially the triple Rittberger preceded by the step, downgraded to double.
The program is free disputer & agrave; tomorrow, from 16:00.
