& Nbsp; After a short program frankly below expectations, accomplices extenuating circumstances related to rust for the & rsquo; & agrave inactivity; racing, period of & rsquo; year and altitude, music & egrave; partly changed in the segment pi & ugrave; long race. Many are, in fact, managed to raise the level of & rsquo; dipstick, as witnessed by the seven quadruple jumps completed. However, the triple axel & egrave; He remained an enigma for many unsolved and in the second part of the test there have been sudden failures.
In any case, the first important event of the senior circuit has confirmed the trend of recent years. For those who want to aspire to top positions, present in the free program at least three elements of quadruple jumps and triple axel is the minimum wage, considering that the normality & agrave; It is becoming farther. Obviously, it will & agrave; interesting to see what could be the physiological limit to this development, but the season has just begun expect precise answers. In this sense, the headlights will be focused on the Japanese Yuzuru Hanyu, who announces two triple axels three quadruple, and the Chinese Jin Boyang, who could groped l & rsquo; chance to run four quadruple. It goes without s & eacute; now that l & rsquo; the balance is shifting increasingly & ugrave; on the technical side, that, objectively, provides a greater number of points with respect to the components of the program. The threshold of one hundred points of TES (total elements score) starts to be the target of many athletes, it being understood that the maximum score that can be achieved in the PCS (program components score) remains the same (100), but without forgetting that gi & agrave ; get to eighty is a & rsquo; enterprise and ninety points remain affordable for a select few.
In Salt Lake City & egrave; imposed the 'Israeli Samohin Daniel, who snatched at Alexeu Bychenko, not gone beyond the seventh, the national record. The seventeen year stationed in California has had the merit to do three quads in the free program, confirming the 'absolute mastery of the quad toe loop emerged a few weeks ago in the stage of the Junior Grand Prix held in Colorado Springs. Samonin has also completed four triple jumps in the second half & agrave; music and, despite the 'now customary fall on the triple axel and a top lost its way, showed the best technical score of the day.
