In the end, all of the predictions of the vigil have consistently been confirmed, but the claims of the new students of Marina Zoueva and fifteen Californian proved to be more & ugrave; suffered expected.
& Nbsp;
In the dance, Aldridge / Eaton (141.70) came out winners at the end of a tight head-to-head with the Canadians Nicole Orford / Thomas Williams (141.02), came back to express good levels of competitiveness & agrave; After an entire season of complete bewilderment. The couple American & egrave; failed to win by a narrow margin in both segments of the race, but, in key victory, were the episodes to make a difference and, in this regard, the association coached by Mr and Mrs Wing / Lowe rimpianger & agrave; long l & rsquo; mistake on the lift in a straight line costatogli final victory.
The third place, with new personal best, & egrave; Americans went to Anastasia Cannuscio / Colin Mcnamus (126.44), which in the free dance were able to bypass the Canadian Mari & egrave; ve Cyr / Benjamin Brisebois Gaudreau (121.58).

In fact, the second triple lutz and double axel first clearly devoid of rotation, & egrave; Adding a disastrous fall on the triple Rittberger, without forgetting that the input wires of both triple flip performed have left some doubt as not properly interior.
Hicks, however, has had the merit of performing at their best six triple jumps, but he missed the first train for the win instead of completing double & eacute; one of the two planned triple lutz and the second for giving up to execute the sequence of two double axel landed without major problems after the first double axel. The eighteen year old was born and raised in competitions in California, however, remodeled in & rsquo; occasion all primates match officials and in the free program clocked by far the best technical feedback. Edmunds, for his part, & egrave; managed to save the ratings success thanks to pi & ugrave; higher on each component of the program.
Provision of day apart, the programs are free to both skaters Americans have proved very ambitious because the & rsquo; intention, albeit with different placement of the elements, & egrave; to perform two double axel and seven triple jumps, including two and two flip lutz.
The podium & egrave; was completed by the Japanese in California stationed Riona Kato (161.69), the only skater to have won the race in level four on the sequence of steps, but wrecked in the second part of the program, more technically & ugrave; complex, after being impeccable in the first two minutes.
