In respect of the predictions of the vigil, the Americans Maia and Alex Shibutani were able to regulate competition, but, curiously, have not been the best No & egrave; on the technical side, n & egrave; the sum of the components of the program.
Students Marina Zoueva, took to the track to the tune of "Coppelia", have not gone beyond the level of two sequences ravensburger waltz, but well-executed twizzle, partial sequence and especially the final rotational lift. In any event, as can count, they were quite distant from the score achieved by compatriots Chock / Bates Nebelhorn Trophy in the past week.
In place of 'honor, with a detachment headed just over half a point, amounted Penny Coomes / Nicholas Buckland, immediately convincing in their first racing since he moved to Novi at increasingly & ugrave; crowded court Igor Shpilband. Filed a season characterized by physical problems of varied content, the couple British & egrave; afforded the luxury of getting the best feedback on program components and has filed two good levels three sequences of patterns. The lack of precision on the partial sequence has deprived them of the first position, but has not in any way intaccatato positive impression aroused.
Canadians Piper Gilles / Paul Poirier, only to reach the level three is that the sequence of partial sequences ravensburger waltz, not & egrave; It was simply the best technical score to go beyond the third coin, but the gap is not exceeded by Shibutani eighty basis points.
On balance, the three couples stationed in North America, although trained staff from different technical, closed the short-dance in a situation of substantial equality & agrave; and will & agrave; free dance, scheduled for tomorrow starting from 16:00, to determine whether the deputy US national champions able to repeat the success of last season.
The hosts Federica Testa / Lukas Csolley were placed fourth with a significant gap from the podium, but also with a marked advantage over the Germans Kavita Lorenz / Panagiotis Polizoakis, far from the pomp of the Nebelhorn Trophy.
The Italian couple recently formed, composed of the former single skaters Victoria Manni and Saverio Giacomelli, concluded the first segment of the race in seventh place, reconfirming the levels expressed in Lombardia Trophy two weeks ago.
In general, it should be stressed as the technical panel has proved less forgiving than was the case in recent races of Sesto San Giovanni and Oberstdorf. Obviously, it remains to appuare if the severity & agrave; emerged in Bratislava is due to the demerit of the couples took to the track. It is, however, of situations nell''incipit regular season.
