Roberta Rodeghiero (150.83) did break the bank in the women's competition, winning the first success of a certain weight of his career.
The skater blue, the last to get on track in a free program until then characterized by egregious debacle of the athletes on the paper pi & ugrave; listed, had the merit to take advantage of the & rsquo; unexpected opportunity to surprise you & the egrave; presented before. Sixth after the short program, & egrave; was, in fact, the author of a bully comeback, propitiated by the score significantly better in the segment pi & ugrave; long race.
Specifically, the twenty-four stationed in Sesto San Giovanni & egrave; was l & rsquo; unique athlete to pull off a performance & Outdoors, height of the situation on the technical side gaining ground against the enormous consequence of confusing the enemy. Rodeghiero, in addition to having reached the level pi & ugrave; available on the top steps and spins, has completed five triple jumps and two double axel, committing l & rsquo; single error of some importance on Rittberger, performed twice instead of & eacute; triple.
In virt & ugrave; of & rsquo; statement today, l & rsquo; student of Franca Bianconi potr & agrave; may be considered to take part in one or more & ugrave; stages of the Grand Prix when one of the skaters previously selected will be forced to give up. In essence, it will be & agrave; equated to those who occupy the top five positions of the so-called & ldquo; alternate list & rdquo ;.
Victory in hand, should be highlighted the consistency of performance highlighted in the first part of the season as in the two competitions Challenger Series played, the native of Asiago has always touched the 151 points, establishing within a couple of weeks the personal records in each segment of the race. Compared to the past, & egrave; showed a greater solidity & agrave; on the elements of jump and, above all, were significant improvements on the triple lutz, now well executed.
For the rest, the women's free program today has offered no performance worthy of note. Falls and jumps degraded rather than under-rotated in fact have been the norm and not the & rsquo; exception.
The second place finish & egrave; went to the Swedish Joshi Helgesson (150.05), who squandered the twelve points of margin earned on Rodeghiero with convincing success in the short program. The twenty-one Tibro, as indeed happened in the Lombardy Trophy, & egrave; completely wrecked in the open, during which he completed only two well-axel double and two triple jumps. Not egrave &; way better & Outdoors; waiting US Ashley Cain (142,95), which egrave &; had to settle for step pi & ugrave; bottom of the podium after having followed a double axel and two triple jumps, including a salchow that would be for & ograve; had to be in combination.
Following you & egrave; placed Viktoria Helgesson (135.73), which today & egrave; been able to complete any triple jump.
Japan's Haruka Imai (135,15), winner of last year, had the merit to go up from twelfth place in the short program to fifth place, but on balance not egrave &; gone beyond two double axel and two triple jumps, confirming the unusual difficulty & agrave; on the salchow gi & agrave; emerged yesterday.
Among the debacle pi & ugrave; relevant, must be reported by Germany's Nathalie Weinzierl ones (132.11), mired in seventh place because of the & rsquo; another three severe drops, and the Korean Hae Jin Kim (128,88), fall on two occasions in a program characterized by the systematic lack of rotation on the elements of jump.
Among the athletes who have managed to limit the damage, deserves a mention Eliska Brezinova (134.55), sixth in recovery and clear progress compared to the race of Sesto San Giovanni, despite the technical content is still limited.
Roberta Rodeghiero with 301.75 points at the moment occupies the first position in the circuit ISU Challenger Series in front of the Swedish Joshi Helgesson (297.11) and all & rsquo; Australian Broklee Han (282.33).
However, apart from Rodeghiero and Helgesson, athletes climb so far on the podo took part in a single stage.
