The result for now smile at the two skaters in Europe, ready to take advantage of a bad fall on the North American triple lutz that was supposed to open the combination.
The nineteen year old student of Frank Carroll, took to the runway to the tune of & rsquo; & Ldquo; Adagio for Piano and Orchestra in A minor & rdquo; Edward Crieg, then tried to remedy the step-load attaching a double Rittberger toleoop three times, but nothing has been done to bridge the gap with the enemy, today & Outdoors, height of the situation also on the elements of top.
In the lead is a convincing Leonova (66.72), capable in & rsquo; opportunity to shatter the previous record of personal and cross for the first time in his career is 35 points TES (tecnical elements score), that the 31 points component of the program. & nbsp; & nbsp; On balance, the first release under the guidance of Evgeni Rukavitsin you & egrave; been positive since, technical aspects aside, the choreography designed by Olga Glinka & egrave; seemed perfectly sewn on the characteristics of the skater. The Russian has completed nearly twenty-four opening triple toe loop combination / triple toe loop and, in the second half & agrave; program, presented a very good triple flip and a double axel done with some heartache too, but above all, spinning upside-down aside, & egrave; able to obtain the level pi & ugrave; the upper hand on each item.
TUKTAMYSHEVA (64,94) & egrave; addrittura was higher than the fellow on the technical side and has edited the personal record by nearly three lengths. The seventeen year old coached by Alexei Mishin, who is absent today because & eacute; in the wake of Petrov engaged in Tallinn in the Junior Grand Prix, & egrave; managed to save with stubbornness & agrave; landings of combination triple toe loop / triple toe loop and triple Rittberger preceded by the step running in the second half & agrave; music the best double axel of the day ,. In particular, the improvements with respect to the successful exit in the first leg of the Cup of Russia have been tangible elements on top, especially flying upside down and sit. However, the day's program, choreographed by Tatiana Prokofieva to the tune of & nbsp; & Ldquo; Bolero & rdquo; Ravel, & egrave; appeared less finished than that of Leonova and, in the presence of the evaluation of the judges, has assumed too much waiting before each element of the jump.
Behind Gold (61,82), at least not yet cut off from the speech for the win, you & egrave; placed the brilliant Finnish Julia Turkkila (52,57), she also able to touch up your personal best. The nineteen year old from Helsinki, lower than the athletes that & rsquo; predecessors in terms of speed & agrave ;, has well completed a combination triple toe loop / triple toe loop, but, unlike in the past, having missed an element of jump (Rittberger open in flight only single), he had the strength to react to the step-load running in a flawless spins, and double axel sequence of steps in the second half & agrave; of the disc.
L & rsquo; Australian Broklee Han (52,41), which appeared more physically & ugrave; tonic with respect to the US Figure Skating Classic two weeks ago, finished the short program in fifth place, ahead of the US Mariah Bell (50.72), author of the new personal best, and the Canadian Veronik Mallet (50.08), penalized by a fall on the triple flip.
