The success, in keeping with the obvious prediction Eve, & egrave; went to the Americans Maia Shibutani / Alex Shibutani (162.98), which have hinted to their compatriots Choch / Bates not to go off the beaten path in the challenge for the leadership of the movement of the stars and stripes. & Nbsp; fact, heard in the distance comparison, students of Igor Shpilband, engaged in the Nebelhorn Trophy in Oberstdorf last week, had the better of the brothers of Asian origin for a few tenths.
The Shibutani, accompanied in Slovakia by Massimo Scali, have passed for the first time in his career a hundred points in the free dance, to improve their limits on both the technical score on each item of the program components.
The first impression aroused by the new free dance to music by Strauss & egrave; was perci & ograve; positive, despite a level trivially lost on twizzles and to fix some particular sequences of steps in torque, especially the diagonal. As was the case in the short-dance, the couple is American & egrave; distinguished so egregious on litf, showing a clear improvement compared to the past.
For the rest, That applies equally to all committed couples in the early stages of ISU Challenger Series, & egrave; still too early to embark on final judgments or more & ugrave; depth because all the programs are still in dry dock.
Guignard / Fabbri (143.94), a distance of twenty-four hours, again outperformed the winners of the competition on the basis of technical score, but they paid duty on the degree of realization of the eight elements provided. The feedback obtained from the first output agonistic are, in any case, because comforting & eacute; spins and lifts have been carefully constructed to achieve the level pi & ugrave; high available, arrived on time even for twizzles. In addition, for the first time in his career, the students of Barbara Fusar Poli have gone over 43 points in the components of the program, reflecting a growth process well underway and a general appreciation for the free dance built on Irish music. Finishing the program and working with care of the details that make the difference, the ninety points in the segment of the race appear well within reach, not to mention that today the official personal best in free dance & egrave; been missed due to the deduction of a point due to a prolonged lifting.
The podium & egrave; been completed by the Slovaks Federica Testa / Lukas Csolley (127.22), which clearly preceded the young British school Platov Olivia Smart / Joseph Buckland (115.46). For the couple is coached by Roberto Pellizzola & egrave; cos & igrave; completed in a week in which beauty & egrave; came the news of the prestigious invitation to Skate America.
Following this, the Austrians were placed Barbora Silna / Juri Kurakin (108.76). The fellowship trained by Barbara Fusar Poli ruled for a & rsquo; gluing novices Italian Misato Komatsubara / Andrea Fabbri (108.48), which can for & ograve; complain to the straight line lift failure, which cost them at least 4 and a half points. & nbsp; On balance, the first exit, it would be possible to approach the forty points on the technical response, which was not trivial for a couple with a few months of life behind.
& Nbsp;
In the men's competition, triumphed the American Stephen Carriere (219.76), which in the free program has had much the better of the Korean Kim Jin Seo (207.34) and the Russian Gordei Gorshkov (206.99). The athletes on the podium have improved their record in the tournament official and & rsquo; occasion & egrave; also dropped the Korean national record (or better performance as the all-time & rsquo; ISU would prefer to say & hellip;).
Rankings aside, the free program of twenty-five Carriere, junior athlete with a glorious past behind, & egrave; been very convincing because, in addition to opening quadruple toe loop to have been well completed six triple jumps. In addition, spins and steps have achieved the level pi & ugrave; high available. L & rsquo; single step involved the vacuum & rsquo; last jump in the program, a flip is not taken from the inner wire and completed only single.
The seventeen year old Korean Kim, winner of the short-program, has, however, completed seven of the eight planned triple, highlighting, such as direct rivals, problems on the flip, not taken from a wire inside. For the rest lost ground compared to the winner because of a double salchow instead of é; triple and evaluations pi & ugrave; low on the components of the program.
& Nbsp; Gorshkov The twenty-second in the free program, introduced eight triple jumps, completing a good pair of triple axels, but under rotating a triple toe loop combination and a closing of a triple lutz. It goes without s & eacute; that, without quadruple, the 'student of Evgeni Rukavitsin has no chance & agrave; to be competitive for the podium in the National Championships, authentic crossroad of its season.
The rest of the modest competition & egrave; been set by & rsquo; ungherse Kristof Forgo (146.93).
