The French association (59,74) has scored the most points of his career in a senior competition, placing in fourth position in the ranking season behind Weaver / Poje, Chock / Bates and Shibutani / Shibutani.
New students of Patrice Lauzon, for several months now moved to Canada, the couple appeared more comfortable on the dance pattern showing a speed & agrave; higher than their opponents. Rulers of the segment of the race on the technical side, stood out in particular for the quality & agrave; the mandatory sequence of paso doble. Instead, it has left some doubt l & rsquo; intricate and original straight line lift does not go beyond level two.
Papadakis / Cizeron preceded Canadians Alexandra Paul / Mitchell Islam (55,30), affected by the levels of too lost on twizzles and sequence paso doble.
The provisional podium & egrave; been completed by the Spanish Sara Hurtado / Adria Diaz (54,12), who ruled narrowly the expected hosts Piper Gilles / Paul Poirier (53,42) and the Danish School of Canadian Laurence Fournier-Beaudry / Nikolaj Sorensen (53 , 34).
The main disappointment of the day were clearly Gilles / Poirier, much appreciated by the judges, who for the first time they have extensively screened over thirty points in the sum of the components of the program, as condemned by the technical panel that does not have the level assigned to the rotational final lift.
In the margin, should be highlighted l & rsquo; excellent overall performance of the couples coached by Lauzon, and Dubreuil Hagenhauer, who occupied the first, third and fifth position reflecting the sudden growth of the school in Montreal, maybe something more & ugrave; fourth pole of the North American.
& Nbsp;
In the women's field, a convincing Gabrielle Daleman (59,38) & egrave; managed to create a vacuum in the short-program, inflicting three points behind the pi & ugrave; immediate pursuer. The sixteen year old stationed in Richmond Hill has crumbled personal record in the official opening of the program by presenting a combination triple toe loop / triple toe loop from & rsquo; imposing height. A & ograve to follow it; messed up on & rsquo; landing of the triple flip, taken from a thread extremely suspicious and completed laying a hand on the ice. For the rest, the performance of spins and steps you & egrave; proved impeccable, but, on balance, remains the & rsquo; question about the & rsquo; opportunities & agrave; to present a flip preceded by the step taken by a thread are highly non-domestic rather than any other jump is not preceded by a step.
In the second position, you & egrave; placed the eighteen year old American Angela Wang (56.38), author of one & rsquo; excellent combination triple lutz / double toe loop, but then fell on the triple Rittberger preceded by the step, which had already & agrave; given some heartache too much in the Lombardy Trophy.
The Canadian Julianne Seguin (54,18), Eclectic atelta which engages with remarkable results both in the single female in pairs of artistic, won a convincing third place with a lot of new personal record. The seventeen year old Toronto opened the drive with a combination of triple flip / triple toe loop, then executed a triple lutz, landed with l & rsquo; help of a step-out and closed the elements of jump with the best double axel of the race.
The American Barbie Long (46.48) is egrave & ;, however, had to settle for fourth place at large detachment from the podium. The eighteen choreographed by Tanith Belbin gave l & rsquo; impression of being at the limit with the rotation of all the elements of jump, faced increasingly with low speed & agrave ;, and, having saved somehow the combination triple lutz / double toe loop, & egrave; disastrously fell on a triple Rittberger clearly below rotated.
The item is not received, stands the name of the Spanish Sonia Lafuente (, 36:10), sadly tenth and divided up where he finished a disappointing last season. L & rsquo; student of Brian Orser, took the program with a much too ambitious for its current possibilities & agrave ;, & egrave; fell on a triple lutz, which had nothing of the outer edge, and then carried out the combination to get open in a flying flip, completed only twice.
The first day will end & agrave; with the pairs short program reserved for art that will agrave &; followed by the first segment of the race of the men's competition.
