Students of Robert Pelizzola, punctually present on the track, dominated the short-dance crumbling the Slovak national record, gi & agrave; in their possession, and getting a score in the first two stages of the Grand Prix would allow them to finish on the podium the first segment of the race.
Head / Csolley (59,64), a couple stationed in Assam, opened the program by doing so or almost as & eacute; the perfect twizzles and were able to reach the level & more ugrave; the upper hand on the sequence of creative paso doble is getting the best feedback technical career that pi & ugrave; highest rating on each of the components of the program.
A surprise, the second & egrave; was conquered by the Belarusian Viktoria Kavaliova / Yurii Bieliaiev (55,32), gi & agrave; appeared in obvious progress in & rsquo; Ice Star of Minsk three weeks ago and today capable of improving the official national record by more than seven points.
The Danes Laurence Fournier-Beaudry / Nikolaj Sorensen (53.58), co-favorites of the day before, they had to settle for third place penalized by low levels of sequences paso-doble, although they were able to touch up a few cents a national record .
Next, they placed the Koreans stationed in Moscow Rebeka Kim / Kirill Minov (53.28), which preceded the Latvian Olga Jakushina / Andrey Nevskiy (48,90) and Italians Federica Bernardi / Saverio Giacomelli (45.38 ), a couple born in spring debut in the circuit ISU Challenger Series. Students of Robert Pelizzola stood out for more & ugrave; that discrete execution of twizzles and rotational lift leaving & ograve; serious points on the plate on the sequence of steps in parallel on the two sequences paso-doble.
In the battle between skaters in St. Petersburg, leitmotif of the men's short program, you & egrave; imposed a fifteen-Alexander Petrov (74.49), which, driven by a triple axel to excellent quality & agrave ;, was right most of the & ugrave; sailed Gordei Gorshkov, (72,17), giving the Yubileyny l & rsquo; s yet another success against & rsquo; s Academy, companies & agrave; membership of twenty-one student Evgeni Rukavitsin. In third place, it & egrave; came to surprise the sixteen year old Israeli American school Samohin Daniel (61,91), went close to completing a quadruple toe loop in which & egrave; somehow managed to make up for the choice of presenting a double axel instead of & eacute; three times. & nbsp; Fourth place for almost seventeen Andrei Lazukin (61.66), betrayed by a transition to empty the jump preceded by the step-up to the sixteen year old British Graham Newberry (59,48) and the disappointing partner companies & agrave; Artur Dmitriev (58.67), suffering from a bad day on the elements of jump landings between messy and the & rsquo; error on trying to open quadruple toe loop in flight and arrived in two rotations.
Among the pairs of art, you & egrave; assisted in convincing international debut Kristina Astakhova / Alexei Rogonov (60,28), a couple who had already & agrave; stolen l & rsquo; s eye at the first stage of the Russian Cup. Students of two-time Olympic champion Artur Dmitriev impressed by the quality & agrave; triple salchow in parallel and triple flip launched, also performing a discrete triple twist and a good lifting group three. In second place, we have placed the quoted Mary Vigalova / Egor Zakroev (53,18), peak torque of the movement Russian juniors. Students Valentina Tiukova estimated trainer Perm, compromised in the last thirty seconds, a program until that perfect time mulling the lifting of the group and follow the top three in parallel.
Vigalova / Zakroev, authors of a triple twist of the best senior couples, preceded the Belarusian Mary Paliakova / Igor Bochkov (43,28) and young Italian Alessandra Cernuschi / Philippe Ambrosini (38,84), penalized by the drop Cernuschi on the triple toe loop in parallel and on the triple flip launched.
In the women's short program, the Russian orphan Artemieva, remained at home, and the Swiss Import Ovcharova, blocked by a & rsquo; indisposition, he had free fifteen-Finnish Jenni Saarinen (50,05), which, despite landing a problematic double axel, got the better of the competition thanks to the & rsquo; s excellent performance of the combination triple toe loop / triple toe loop and better reflected in the sum of the components of the program.
The race is & egrave; to be quite balanced, as evidenced by the fact that the first sixteen in the rankings, mainly engaged in junior girls so far, remained enclosed within a little more & ugrave; of nine points.
Saarinen preceded the German Lutrica Bock (49,07), the sixteen year old Lithuanian Aleksandra Golovkina (48,36), which, by virtue & ugrave; a surprising increase of almost seven points, snatched the national record in Inga Janileviciute, the twenty Norwegian Camilla Gjersen (47,43), twin sister of Anne Line & igrave committed by Friday; the Cup of China, and the hostess Angelina Kuchvalska (47,12), an interesting fifteen who lost his chance & agrave; to close in the head segment of the race to have done a double lutz instead of & eacute; three times immediately after completing a & rsquo; excellent combination triple toe loop / triple toe loop.
The better of the two Italian present in Riga & egrave; was Sara Casella (42,36), now the twelfth. The sixteen year old Courmayeur, appeared more & ugrave; perky than previous outings of the season, has lost ground over the competition because of the problems on the landing of the triple lutz and preceded by the step of combining triple salchow / double toe loop, missing rotation on the second jump. L & rsquo; waiting Maria Guia Tagliapietra (40,63) is & egrave ;, however, had to settle the sixteenth place, betrayed by a landing with a step-out of the triple toe loop combination that would open the second with a triple toe loop. The national junior champion then tried to recover the double toe loop combination attacking a triple lutz, but, thanks to a landing problematic lutz, & egrave; able to perform only a simple toe loop, as per regulation, did not get any value.
The senior competition the Volvo Cup in Riga will end Thursday on igrave ;.
