The races were hosted by an ice rink located in the Northern District of Tianshan to over 1,600 meters above sea level. L & rsquo; & egrave occasion; It was propitious to see & Outdoors; work all prominent athletes of the Chinese movement.
Obviously, the attention of experts and enthusiasts were mainly directed at the men's race and the one reserved for couples of art, which have provided very interesting.
The highlight of & rsquo; & egrave event; It was represented by the challenge increasingly & ugrave; He felt among the nearly eighteen Boyang Jin, now close to international debut in the senior category, and the nineteen year old Han Yan. In this regard, to expectations we were not disappointed, and both segments of the race were marked by a high technical level, witnessed by scores of absolute international value.
In the short program, Boyang Jin, took to the track on non-trivial notes & ldquo; Tango Love & rdquo ;, was close to one hundred lengths, performing at the opening a & rsquo; unusual combination quadruple lutz / triple toeloo and then a triple axel decidedly more & ugrave; convincing than those presented in the past season. To close the circle, the vice junior world champion completed a quadruple toe loop in the second half & agrave; program, which has contributed significantly to guarantee him a technical score equal to 58,69. In this regard, & egrave; important to remember that so far in the races of the first level no one has ever gone beyond 54.84. Jumps aside, Boyang Jin, amounting to a 97.84 siginificativo, also highlighted a significant increase from the artistic point of view constantly remaining on the note and, especially managing the pi & ugrave; of the time to look away from the ice vaccations what happened in the recent past.
Han Yan, struggling with the new short & ldquo; Sing, Sing, Sing & rdquo ;, Buttle piece of memory, & egrave; It has been less touching 94.25 share thanks to a quadruple toe loop, impeccably finished, which was followed by triple axel combination and triple lutz / triple toelooop, both located in the second half & agrave; of the program.
In the segment pi & ugrave; long race, the tables have turned, and Han Yan, as well as having had again the better of each item of the program components, & egrave; He won for un''incollatura also the technical side gaining the victory with 276.11 points. Performance & egrave; It was characterized by a timely execution of each of the jump, a quadruple toe loop among which two triple axels with six triple jumps to act as a boundary. In particular, the new program choreographed by Lori Nichol on the song Kissing You, the soundtrack of the film Romeo + Juliet, & egrave; seemed tailored Han Yan of highlighting their strengths, quality & agrave; skating in particular.
Boyang Jin, meanwhile, has tried four quadruple jumps, landing the lutz with a & rsquo; clear step-out and closing the salchow direct style. Nothing to complain, instead, on the two quadruple toe loop, the first in combination with a double toe loop, performed well in the second half & agrave; of music. Possibilities & agrave; to win the ultimate success, just missed pi & ugrave; five points, they are & ograve; vanished because of a trivial fall in & rsquo; entrance of the flying camel and a passage to empty on what should have been a combination triple flip / euler / triple salchow. Result of the day aside, leaps to & rsquo; s eye & rsquo; intention to free with a technical score of the base (with spins and steps to four) more than one hundred lengths (100.45). Basically, taking advantage of what is currently allowed by the Regulation, Boyang Jin has indicated that it is ready to complete four quadruple jumps and six triples, raising the & rsquo; rod to previously unimaginable levels.
Between pairs of artistic, they have imposed Wenjing Sui / Cong Han (206.40), which preceded Peng Cheng / Hao Zhang & nbsp; (197.22). In the short program, the difference between the two leading associations of Chinese movement & egrave; It was minimal, but it is one that others, with their peculiarities ;, & agrave proved the piece navigating around settanquattro points, something more & ugrave; something less. In the segment pi & ugrave; long race, there are, however, no-smudge noteworthy, but, as regards the vice-champions champion, & egrave; It showed clear progress on lifting. Sui / Han also performed the quadruple twist, desisting from groped quadruple salchow launched, completed without worries in training. The sore, not a novelty & agrave; for Chinese couples, & egrave; It was represented by the spinners, while, on the front of the throw jumps, & egrave; s & Igrave; came a fall of Sui on the combination triple toe loop / double toe loop / double toe loop, but l & rsquo; indigestible triple salchow & egrave; It has been completed.
Peng / Zhang, clearly beaten on the components of the program, they caught a bad day on the elements jump in parallel and have also paid the price because of a fall on the triple salchow launched and for the renunciation of the quadruple twist.
Both couples have presented new racing programs choreographed by Lori Nichol, already in the past & agrave; engaged with Peng / Zhang, but the first experience with Sui / Han.
In absentia Yu / Jin, exceptionally engaged in the race won by junior coach, the third & egrave; Xuehan went to Wang / Wang Lie (166.54), authors of two trials subdued during which emerged worrying difficulties & agrave; of all the jumps and launched in parallel
In the dance, Shiyue Xinyu Wang and Liu (138.48) confirmed their supremacy, versoimilmente continental ahead Yue Xhao / Xun Zheng (129.36) and Yue Cong / Zhuoming Sun (122.52).
The main surprise & egrave; It came from the women's race, which saw the favorite succumb Zijun Li (152.88), in great difficulty & agrave; in & rsquo; fit & Outdoors; altitude. Success & egrave; Ziquan went to Zhao (157.04), second at the end of the short program, but then able to take advantage of the sudden collapse of the pi & ugrave; listed on the opponent, wrecked in a free program featuring two fall over and many jumps landed barely. The images have mercilessly highlighted the difficulties & agrave; Li, who withdrew from & rsquo; execute a couple of combinations just for the & rsquo; anxiety of the moment. & Nbsp; Zhao, however, doing the right homework & egrave; managed to get the & rsquo; & ugrave statement more; important career, completing in the segment more & ugrave; long race a pair of double axel and four triple jumps, equally divided between toe loop and Rittberger.
