To want to try the hair nell''uovo, the fourteen year old Russian Polina Tsurskaya, without being able to count on the choreographic sequence in the free program, it got within juniors feedback pi & ugrave; the top of a pair of points, but the case of subtleties ...
Filed a convincing victory in the short-program, the 'student of Hiroshi Nagakubo you & egrave; reconfirmed also in the free program, choreographed by Kenji Miyamoto on the song "Reel Around The Sun". As was done at the end of last season, Hongo & egrave; He took to the track with the 'goal to run two double axel and seven triple jumps, including two lutz. Nell''occasione, & egrave; all''appello missed a triple Rittberger, opened in flight after a single spin, and did not again, the combination triple flip / triple toe loop & egrave; seemed missing rotation on the second jump. For the rest, the spinners were built and executed to achieve the highest level available and the sequence of steps, not overwhelming, as suggested yesterday, & egrave; proved competitive. Clearly, in terms of presentation there is room for improvement, but the program rather well for construction, has enhanced the quality & well agrave; dell''atleta and being scollinata now over sixty points on the sum of the components of the program is a great business card in view of future events.
In second place, it & egrave; placed Julia Lipnitskaia, who, even today, has confirmed the 'impression aroused at the end of the first segment of the race. The seventeen year old Russian & egrave; demonstrated masterful elements of spinning and & egrave; seemed improved from the artistic point of view, thanks to a better use of the upper body and, above all, a good capacity & agrave; seize accents proposed by music. The main problem, apart from occasional lack of speed & agrave ;, & egrave; was represented dall''evidente wheezing elements jump. From today's program & egrave; disappeared the Rittberger, but in any case the other jumps taken by the wire does not have stood for quality & agrave; (Double salchow and double axel not slipped as in the past). Moreover, thanks to a break passive and 'be ended immediately off-axis & egrave; came a fall on the second triple flip. On the positive side, it should, however, underlined the non-called wire suspicion on the triple lutz. On balance, Lipnitskaia completed two double axel three triple jumps, but in terms of scoring & egrave; remained at high altitude thanks to the overall assessment pi & ugrave; high on the program components.
Third place & egrave; It was obtained with merit from the Swedish Joshi Helgesson, the third of the season and increased week after week. The twenty-two Scandinavian, in fact, not & egrave; He went away from the personal best in the free program, built with his usual mastery. In particular, every race, & egrave; increase their command of the jump, as witnessed by the two double axel and six triple jumps, including two lutz (the second to the limit with the rotation), presented today.
Next, you & egrave; I placed the Korean So Youn Park, who gave up combinations with two triple jumps and denoted again problems with the flying sit, but & egrave; seemed progressed artistically and pi & ugrave; lowered into the part than in the past, provided the few passages of transition. & nbsp;
The real surprise of the race brings, however, the name of Viveca Lindfors, able to touch up your personal best by more than fifteen points thanks to a free two axel and six triple jumps, including two good lutz and a flip taken by a thread not internal . The sixteen year old Finnish hostess in the sense pi & ugrave; of the word, he got a surprising fifth place conveniently storing the minimum technical score to take part in the World Cup. Moreover, in the recent past, often he happened to meet Finnish holding a good lutz, but the music for the new generation seems to have changed.
The race in Espoo was also attended by the 'Italian Ilaria Nogaro, you & egrave; placed in sixteenth position.
