Thursday 24 September 2015 8 minutes reading time
As so often happens early in the season, there have been glaring errors and many programs have seemed very far dall''essere "registered" on every single aspect, but, overall, it & egrave; treated to competition from more & ugrave; that reasonable level during which there have been attempts by elements prized value.
The main protagonist & egrave; Max was the American Aaron, best of the day on the technical front, but, listen, listen, even in the sum of the components of the program. The twenty-three student Tom Zakrajšek presented a program already & agrave; run-as used in the second half & agrave; last season, and, for the first time in an international competition, & egrave; He was able to execute the elements of the planned jump finally dispelling the tab & ugrave; the short-program segment of the race that for one reason or the 'other had always turned his back. Aaron opened the trial with a remarkable combination quadruple salchow / triple toe loop and then completed smoothly concluding a triple axel jump elements with a triple lutz preceded by step. The sore & egrave; It was represented by the spinners, who & ograve; They did not prevent him for the first time you break the barrier of the eighty points.
In second place, just under five lengths from the head, & egrave; certificate Canadian Elladj Balde, by an impressive six points compared to the previous personal best. The almost twenty-five stationed in Quebec performed quadruple toe loop, triple axel combination and triple lutz / triple toe loop paying duty than Aaron because of landings less clean, but managed to recover ground lost on the jumps thanks to a quality & agrave; top of steps and elements of spinning top. If the 'exploits today will not stay & agrave; isolated, the 'athlete seen in Oberstdorf would seem that you have the credentials to become the third force in the Canadian movement behind the unreachable and Nguyen Chan. In this regard, they await confirmation from the free program.
Third place & egrave; was won by Czech Michal Brezina, he appeared in advance on the Lombardy Trophy a few days ago. The twenty-five now at home in Bavaria, as well as having announced the upcoming wedding with the 'former skater agonist Danielle Montalbano & egrave; He was the author of a program characterized by lights and shadows. On the positive side it resembles a fine triple axel, which for & ograve; They have countered by a fall on a quadruple salchow attempt to open properly and a combination of a triple flip, but closed with a double toe loop instead & egrave; triple.
Among the positive notes of the race, stands out the performance of the Belgian Jorik Hendrickx, returning after a long break due to injury, but then be able to keep the wake of Brezina. The twenty-three of Turnhout, filed a triple axel with the 'help of a step-out well has completed a combination triple lutz / triple toe loop and a Rittberger preceded by step becoming overwhelming sequence of steps ending brilliantly built to the tune of "You Raise Me Up "by Josh Groban.
Next, you & egrave; placed the German Peter Liebers, author of the third technical score, ahead of the Russian Konstantin Menshov, where & egrave; Failure quadruple salchow pianficato, and the French Florent Amodio, capable of complete opening quadruple salchow and triple axel, but then betrayed by spinning tops made in a rough and especially by the lack of serious points of the combination. In key podium, not & egrave; creasing matrix out even the twenty-five US Grant Hochstein, eighth, but a little more detached from Brezina & ugrave; of four points.
Except Hendricx and Liebers, the first eight in the standings have not spared an effort to quadruple jump, now a sine qua non to be able to occupy positions of excellence.
The free prorgramma you disputer & agrave; tomorrow, from 19:00.
