However, the performance on the ice tumbler from'' Iceland Sports Complex in Louisville have left some doubt among experts.
In fact, in line with what happened in the first segment of the race,'' the student of Yuka Sato and Jason Dungjen showed enormous problems on the elements of jump failing to complete even a triple in the free program. In particular, after a convincing start, characterized by the good performance of the combination double axel / double toe loop, is ruinously Czisny fell on a triple lutz attempt, however, missing from the rotation, and from that time forward has presented only double jumps. In addition, it is clearly in the final descent of shots finishing the race in trouble. In'' occasion, Czisny skated a program choreographed by Marina Zueva the tune of "Ice Palace" and "Gone with the wind", music by Max Steiner, injuries permitting, already wanted to play last season.
In the limited context of a regionals, today's performance is still worth to be the best technical score the highest rating on each of the components of the program, but to aspire to one credential with three seats available for the Olympic Games in Sochi It will require a radical change. That said, the fact of having obtained 94.98 points well with a "record" of double jumps represents incontrovertible evidence of a'' potential'' s athlete, always on hand spins, although the upside is the lack of a feature to quattto get to the level of order.
In second place, it has placed the twenty-two of Buffalo, but based in Bloomfield Hills, Amber Walczyk (125.95), which he did in the free flap game with Chelsea Christopher (121,73), alone among the athletes in the race to complete more than a triple jump. The nineteen year old Springfield Ohio, not a thunderbolt of war on spinners, took off the luxury of getting the second technical score with such a remarkable combination of triple lutz / double toe loop opening, to which he added a triple Rittberger and a sequence triple salchow / double axel.
'' The last place available for the Midwestern Sectional Championships was won by twenty-one of Asian origin Alicia Hsu (111.04), athlete stationed in Nashville Tennessee, which, despite a record of double jumps, was able to easily Alexie Mieskoski bypass (106.94), fourth at the end of the short-program and before deleted.
In the next trio of regionals, will fall on the ice Rachael Flatt. The winner of the U.S. in 2010 will be engaged in Vacaville California, home of race of the Central Pacific Regionals.
