Debut season with lights and shadows for Adelina Sotnikova

Si & egrave; Closed Friday & igrave; past the third stage of the Russian Cup, hosted by the training track of & rsquo; Iceberg Sochi, home of the twenty-second edition of the Olympic Games.

Unlike what happened in the previous appointments, the highlight of the & rsquo; event & egrave; was the junior women's race, orphan Tsurskaya and Gubanova, but the open women's competition, which saw the tapes starting Adelina Sotnikova in season debut, Serafima Sakhanovich, ruler of the qualifying round of the Junior Grand Prix circuit, Polina Korobeynikova in back in the race after a & rsquo; s absence of almost ten months, Mary Artemyeva, dealing with rehearsals before facing a dual commitment in the Grand Prix. The success & egrave; went to Adelina Sotnikova (196.31) which, although not charming, it & egrave; sets in both segments of competition, proving to be on the right track to find the best physical condition, but still far from the top. The Olympic champion, struggling for some time with an ankle problem, has presented programs still not finished and, with regard to the free, with a schedule of safe jumps. In particular, with respect to the customs, has highlighted some difficulties & agrave; on the double axel, without proposing the & rsquo; s usual combination with the triple toe loop. In the free program to the tune of & ldquo; Je Suis Malade & rdquo; with the voice of Lara Fabian, completed a double axel and six triple jumps dramatically decreasing intensity as & agrave; in the second part of the music, but appearing more & ugrave; This timely and up steps and spins with respect to the short program (Swan Lake), where he landed with a step-out triple toe loop combination that was supposed to open, then became to need & agrave; triple flip / double toe loop. & Ldquo; It & egrave; Treaty of season debut, and especially the first race after the Olympic Games & rdquo ;, said the Olympic champion at the end of the competition, & ldquo; It & rsquo; been a long time from & rsquo; s last race I've played and & egrave; was nice to enjoy the atmosphere of the race again. The result & egrave; was positive and I hope to be able to express in a better way in the next round. I'm still struggling with a minor injury, not easy to leave behind, but at least & nbsp; in the free program has not given me any problems. & Nbsp; I've had feedback from the audience and the judges that made me realize that everything & egrave; was well prepared. & Nbsp; I look forward to competing in the Grand Prix & rdquo ;. In second place, it & egrave; placed a Serafima Sakhanovich (183.85) less brilliant than usual and short of breath at the end of the free program where & egrave; disastrously fell on a triple lutz attempt and then bungled on top upside down and combined with input jump. In the first segment of the race, however, & egrave; fall on the triple flip that was supposed to open the combination, but as if nothing had happened, he then attached to a decent triple lutz triple toe loop. On the sidelines, it should be noted as the & rsquo; pupil of Ethers Tutberidze obtained the best technical score in both segments of the competition. The podium & egrave; was completed by the sixteen year old Diana Pervushkina (156.86), which preceded Mary Artemyeva (150.86), slightly up compared to last appearances, and Alsu Kayumova (145.90), author of the third free. Polina Korobeynikova (136.69) not & egrave; went beyond the seventh position The eighteen year old Muscovite, filed a good short program in which he presented a combination triple salchow / triple toe loop, & egrave; completely wrecked in free fall over features two triple jumps and many lack the required rotation. There were reasons for interest in the race for the pairs of art because, in addition to the first seasonal Ksenia Stolbova / Fedor Klimov (208.88), there & rsquo; s & agrave was curiosity; for the & nbsp; debut of the new association, strongly backed by Nina Mozer, consisting of Zabijako Natalia and Yuri Larionov (174.82). In the short program, the Vice continental champions, World and Olympic have paid the price back in the race mulling on the triple toe loop in parallel (landing with step-out of Klimov) and ending with a fall on the triple flip launched, but then skated, to the tune of & ldquo; The Hunchback of Notre-Dame & rdquo ;, a free showing of excellence solidity & agrave; of all the elements and, above all, speed & agrave; not in possession of other couples on the international scene. In particular, it should be remarkability improvements on the triple twist, one element in the race program almost a year ago and gradually became more and more & ugrave; large and safe. Zabijako / Larionov (174.82) were immediately impressed by the solidity & agrave; over jumps in parallel and launched, showing a reverse period gi & agrave; from the first class that somehow offset the decision to present the double twist instead of & eacute; triple. Moreover, the score & egrave; was affected by episodic problems in the free program on spriale death outside back on top and a couple who are both going to zero. In the men you & egrave; clearly imposed a twenty-Gordei Gorshkov (212.39), which, pending receipt of a call for the Grand Prix, he had easily because of Moscow's Evgeni Vlasov eighteen (181.05) and disappointing student ethers Tutberdize Kvitelashvili Moris (178 27), completely abandoned the triple axel and not at ease as on other occasions on the quadruple toe loop. In the dance, however, easy success for the pair of Togliatti Evgenia Kosigina / Nikolai Moroshkin (140.30), gi & agrave; clear winner of the first stage of the circuit. Students Oleg Sudakov once again preceded by a wide margin Margarita Belyakova / Dmitry Volkov (100.88), a pair of room in Nizhny Novgorod. & Nbsp; At the junior level, the women's race & egrave; was dominated by twelve year old St. Petersburg Elizaveta Nugumanova (186.07), which is clearly set in both programs of race, completing the free two double axel and seven triple jumps, including the triple combination Rittberger / Rittberger triple and double axel / triple toe loop / double toe loop. L & rsquo; pupil of home Mishin & egrave; appeared to & ograve; often to the point with the rotation of the jumps and, not surprisingly, it & egrave; view judge under rotated the second triple lutz presented in the segment pi & ugrave; long race. Nugumanova preceded the same age as well as & eacute; new training partner Sofia Somodurova (165.07) and fellow citizens, but members of the rival school (Academy), Stanislava Konstantinova (159,32) and Elena Pavlova (153.31). In the dance, the young finalists of the Junior Grand Prix At Loboda / Pavel Drzod (144.64), couple trained in Moscow by Ksenia Rumiantseva, preceded Sofia Evdokimova / Egor Bazin (138.58), the combination Togliatti able to establish itself in the first round held Samara. In the men, success for the & rsquo; s interesting Petr Gumennyk (211.52), twelve-year old St. Petersburg gi & agrave; in possession of all the triples, excluding axel, and able to perform spins quality & agrave; complete with a Biellmann position. The young student of Tatiana Mishina preceded the seventeen year old Vladislav Tarasenko (207.28), able to complete the segment pi & ugrave; Long race a quad salchow and two triple axels. Third place & egrave; went to Vladimir Samoilov (202.42), author of the best technical score in the free program with two double axel and seven triple jumps well executed.
