In Saransk, home of the Mordovian Ornament, fifth round of the Challenger Series circuit ISU, the Russian veterans presented two convincing programs, choreographed by Peter Tchernyshev trusted with the 'objective perfectly achieved to enhance the lightness and the complicit & agrave; that have always characterized the students of Tamara Mosvkina. Not by chance, albeit in a context in which the generosity & agrave; by the courts has been the norm, the European champions showed in the free program averaged more than nine on the items of the program components & nbsp; coming in at 73.52, passed in the past by just Volosozhar / Trankov (77.83), Savchenko / Szolkowy (74.07), Pang / Tong (73.61). In this sense, the choice to resubmit free last season to the tune of "Manfred Symphony" by Tchaikovsky & egrave; revealed surely help.
As for the technical side, ten out of twelve elements were performed with great skill, refinement on details and undisputed quality & agrave ;. The first of two errors & egrave; He arrived on that which would be due perhaps be a sequence of double axel in parallel, but that is & egrave; ended with a landing problematic Kavaguti the first double axel. The second step in vacuum has, however, covered the quadruple salchow launched, ended with a crash. Moreover, by observing the position of the elements in the free program and making levers on the statements of Mosvkina summer, it seems certain that the way the quadruple launched become two because & egrave; will add & agrave; all''appello also Rittberger, placed immediately after the salchow. Season & egrave ;, however, started with a bang as Kavaguti / Smirnov have retouched a few tenths the personal record that resisted the way back in January 2010, when the couple in Tallinn stationed in St. Petersburg & ograve conquered; the first European title of his career.
The Mordovian Ornament & egrave; It was the 'debut event for the new Russian couple formed by Natalja Zabijako Enbert and Alexander, both veterans of negative experiences with different partners. Students Nina Mozer were presented to the public to reach almost two hundred points at the first exit, that clearly has not earlier. Among other things, the significant milestone & egrave; It was missed because of un''ingenuit & agrave; Enbert of the death spiral of the free program. Fast and gi & agrave; possess excellent unison, they proved solid on every aspect presenting smoothly lifting of enormous difficulty & agrave ;, on all reverse period, and throw jumps non-dot (double axel and triple Rittberger) without burrs, without forgetting the combination triple toe loop / double toe loop / double Rittberger. The second jump in parallel & egrave; was chosen for a double salchow, but & egrave; likely that the way can become triple.
The score obtained in Saransk enable & agrave; to Zabijkao / Enbert, now widely in head all''alternate list, to be considered to fill any vacancy for one of the stages of the Grand Prix.
The ambitious Lithuanian Gofa Butkute ​​/ Nikita Ermolaev, forgotten a disastrous short, recovered from sixth to third place, highlighting, errors aside, an interesting technical background, gi & agrave; However it ermerso at the Lombardy Trophy in Sesto San Giovanni. And '' so vanished dream to have even in the race for the podium a couple of artistic monochrome Russian. In fact, Arina Cherniavskaia / Antonio Souza Kordyeru have had acconentare the fourth place by the Lithuanians fought for only thirty-six cents.
As expected, the first edition of the Mordovian Ornament is & egrave; ended with four wins and eight podium finishes Russians on-year to arrangements which. & nbsp;
