In the free program, l & rsquo; student of Alexei Mishin has completed two double axel and six triple jumps opening his test with a valuable combination triple lutz / double toe loop / double Rittberger. Probably, with respect to race strategy planned & egrave; missed a triple toe loop, but the findings obtained ugalmente remain positive. TUKTAMYSHEVA has officially regained lost in safety & rsquo; last year and a half, and jumps aside, he passed with flying colors also l & rsquo; examination on the tops, the kind that does not rovescita & egrave; never been the specialty & agrave; of the house. L & rsquo; goal for the rest of the season now becomes the qualification for the final of the Grand Prix, a goal well within reach in virt & ugrave; performance expressed in the first part of the season.

Ci & ograve; Accordingly programs Efimenko and Saarinen were characterized by elements of great value, in particular the combination double axel / triple toe loop well executed by both, but also from falls and huge steps & nbsp; vacuum on various elements of jumps.
