Students of Dalilah Sappenfiled, imposed after the short-program, were reconfirmed at the top in the segment pi & ugrave; long race by re-score the best technical score and assessment pi & ugrave; high on each component of the program.
Moreover, the audience of the Coliseum Convention Center in Greensboro in North Carolina & egrave; spectator was a historic moment for the movement in the US since the couple stationed in Colorado Springs has revised the primacy of national championships, but mostly performed admirably a quadruple twist, item ever made by a pair of artistic stars and stripes. For the rest, Scimeca / Knierim proved impeccable launched on the jumps and passed unscathed the 'atavistic bogeyman called triple salchow in parallel. The main deburring concerned the sequence of double axel, but the first single axel Knierim and the 'landing strip with step-out of the second axel by Scimeca, have passed largely unnoticed.
The place of 'honor, with over ten points behind, & egrave; was conquered by Haven Denney / Brandon Frazier, who, like the winners, they tore the ticket for the World Cup in Shanghai. The former junior world champions have confirmed the significant improvements made manifest during the season by presenting a free of undisputed quality & agrave ;, characterized by an excellent triple twist and excellent lifting. Also in this case, a landing with hand in the ground of the triple Rittberger launched and a small uncertainty of Denney on the sequence of double axel (landing of the second axel on two feet), have not minimally affected the performance. & Nbsp;
The podium & egrave; was completed by Tarah Kayne / Daniel O''Shea, that despite a fall on the triple Rittberger launched, preceded by a wide margin the former national champions juniors Madeline Aaron / Max Settlage, themselves victims of a fall on the triple salchow launched. It should, however, remarked how the performance of both pairs have been very competitive, reflecting overall growth of the sector.
Following were placed Jessica Calalang / Zach Sidhu, who preceded novices Marissa Castelli / Mervin Tran, foundered after an approximate free program, very distant dall''incoraggiante level expressed in the first segment of the race. Ci & ograve; Accordingly, considering the few months of work, the 'impression & egrave; that the potential for Castelli / Tran can be quite interesting.
