In the men, it & egrave; imposed by the absolute ruler of the fifteen Russian Alexander Petrov (231.53), which, in & rsquo; occasion, skated the best free program running in a career or almost as & eacute; impeccable two double axel and eight triple jumps, including two axel and two lutz. Moreover, for the first time in seven games played Seasonal & egrave; managed to get the level pi & ugrave; high available on steps and spins, but mostly has largely broken through the wall of the seventy points in the program components. Continues perci & ograve; in the best way the march to the final of the Junior Grand Prix circuit in Barcelona, ​​where he will have & agrave; face big guns such as Chinese and Japanese Boyang Jin Shoma Uno. By virtue & ugrave; the score obtained in Warsaw, l & rsquo; student of Alexei Mishin, gi & agrave; Volvo Cup winner in Riga, has posed a serious threat to the victory in the first edition of & rsquo; ISU Challenger Series.
Petrov has preceded the eighteen year old Filipino Michael Christian Martinez (213.38), author of the national record, improved by over thirteen lengths, and much progress on the triple axel, suddenly became the most & ugrave; stable between triple jumps.
The podium & egrave; was completed by the young Italian Matteo Rizzo (168.46), who has edited the official record of the race, but in the Warsaw Cup & egrave; appeared pi & ugrave; convincing in the short program, ended at the foot of the podium. The sixteen year stationed in Sesto San Giovanni has however well executed in the segment pi & ugrave; long race two double axel and four triple jumps, while finding a day not positive on the triple lutz, usually one of the strengths.
In dance, & egrave; came the predictable success of Italian-Slovak Federica Testa / Lukas Csolley (143.36), which confirmed once more & ugrave; the important progress of the current season. Students Roberto Pelizzola, previously winners of the Volvo Cup Riga, have raised the level of & rsquo; rod in free dance managing to improve again the primacy Slovak national. In second place were placed Ukrainian youth Alexandra Nazarova / Maxim Nikitin (136.90), students of Alexander Zhulin able to first appearance in the senior category to go beyond the previous record with a lot of personal best technical score of the day in the segment pi & ugrave; long race.
Third place & egrave; went to surprise the interesting Chinese Shiyue Wang / Xinyu Liu (133.44), which in the free dance have finally managed to get the minimum technical score to take part in the World Championships. The expected Russian Evgenia Kosigina / Nikolai Moroshkin (131.44), second after the short-dance, have rushed in fourth place, penalized by the points lost on the sequences of steps in pairs, and preceded the disappointing Turkish Alisa Agafonova / Alper Ucar (129.94). As for couples Italian, Federica Bernardi / Saverio Giacomelli (118.76) finished the race in seventh place ahead of the training partners Sofia Sforza / Leo Luca Sforza (115.86).
Between pairs of artistic success & egrave; went to rookies Canadian Lubov Iliushechkina / Dylan Moscovitch (163.02), who have had the better of the competition in both the competition programs claiming a quality & agrave; higher overall skating, witnessed by the evaluations obtained on componemigliore nti program. Definitely at ease on lifting and elements of torque, the students of Lee Berkell and Bryce Davison have renounced the triple twist in the segment pi & ugrave; long race, revealing some predictable problem elements jump in parallel as Iliushechkina landed with a step-out the triple toe loop, which was to open a sequence with a double toe loop, and performed a double salchow instead of & eacute; triple pinned him down on the spot.
Next, you have placed the Russians Lina Fedorova / Maxim Miroshkin (158.16), authors of the best technical score in both segments of the race, but, as usual, inconclusive on the elements jump in parallel and in the free program nonpoint landings of the cast, usually certainly not a problem.
The step pi & ugrave; the bottom of the podium & egrave; was occupied by rookies Italian Valentina Marchei / Ondrej Hotarek (154.60), which, in line with all the other couples in the race, have passed the minimum technical score to take part in the World Championships. In the free program, & egrave; showed a good level of competitiveness & agrave; on lifting, including a fine reverse period, and both triple launched planned were completed, cos & Igrave; as the triple toe loop in parallel. The main problems concerned the complex death spiral BO and the combination triple salchow / double toe loop, open from Marchei with a salchow simple.
Finally, in the women's short program, you & egrave; sets easily the Russian Elizaveta Tuktamysheva (67,83), not gone far from the personal best, despite a double axel acceptable but not outstanding as usual. L & rsquo; student of Alexei Mishin has nonetheless admirably completed both the combination triple toe loop / triple toe loop that triple lutz preceded by step putting l & rsquo; mortgage on the victory of a race which for her is only a possibility & agrave; to train in the best way.
L & rsquo; former record holder seasonal preceded the fifteen Finnish Lubov Efimenko (53,41), able to complete a triple flip-triple toe loop combination and a / triple toe loop, and the fifteen-Armenian Anastasia Galustyan (51,04), which has a combination presentanto triple flip / triple toe loop and a triple lutz preceded by the step in the second half & agrave; of music. L & rsquo; waiting Latvian Angelina Kuchvalska (38,20), because of a bad day on the elements of jumping, not & egrave; gone beyond the thirteenth position, but not & egrave; ruled out a comeback in the free program. L & rsquo; blue Micol Ciristini (43.82) is & egrave ;, however, placed all & rsquo; eighth touching up a few cents the record official. The seventeen year old from Bergamo & egrave; fall on the triple Rittberger initial, but you & egrave; then redeemed by running in the second half & agrave; music double axel d & rsquo; order and a good combination triple salchow / double toe loop.
