The champion standings in office, ousted from the final of the Grand Prix due to a series of unfortunate coincidences, you & egrave; sets by a wide margin in the Golden Spin of Zagreb, crossing the wall of two hundred points for the first time this season.

On balance, the & rsquo; student of Alexei Mishin, the first on the technical side and on each item of the program components, has completed two double axel and seven triple jumps voluntarily giving up the combination triple toe loop / triple toe loop.
L & rsquo; lit three-way fight for a prize place d & rsquo; honor has dominated the Kazakh Tursynabeva Elizabet, who, taking advantage of greater solidity & agrave; Technical, & egrave; managed to prevail by a narrow margin on the US Karen Chen and Russian Alena Leonova.
Both the fifteen coached by Brian Orser that the sixteen year old Californian presented with a free two double axel and seven triple jumps including two lutz, but Tursynabeva, beyond the & agrave; a landing on two feet with a triple lutz, performed items with higher quality & agrave; without paying duty because of rotations to the limit. Leonova has, however, threw out the podium with a bad fall on the triple flip, which opened the second half & agrave; of the program.
L & rsquo; waiting Adelina Sotnikova finished the race in sixth place behind American Angela Wang. Olympic champion, for some time now in trouble & agrave; in & rsquo; run the triple toe loop combination, it presented a revised version of the free program to the tune of & ldquo; Je Suis Malade & rdquo; Lara Fabian with l & rsquo; goal of running in the central part two combinations double axel / triple toe loop, placed before and after the sequence of steps. The first three triple jumps (from wire suspicion lutz, flip and Rittberger) were carried out smoothly, so & Igrave; as triple salchow final, but the three planned combinations (double axel / triple toe loop, double axel / triple toe loop and triple flip / double toe loop / double Rittberger) are not successfully concluded (first combination ended with a fall after a triple toe loop downgraded to a double, the second combination with a closed toe loop simple, third combination is not performed due to a single flip opening). & nbsp; Beyond the & agrave; errors, l & rsquo; & egrave impression; you have found the right way to go ahead of the national championships, however, because of the changes made in recent days the program & egrave; He appeared less smooth, especially at the end, than in previous appearances,
