Beyond the & agrave; of placings and scores, l & rsquo; appointment announcing important to check the physical condition of many athletes struggling with recent injuries to the contrary.
Obviously, the attention of the experts have been mainly directed to the debut season of the dancing couple consists Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume CIZERON. In particular, the & rsquo; & egrave occasion; It was propitious to show the public the new anticipated match programs, both choreographed by Marie France Dubreuil collaboration with Romain Haguenauer, on site. The defending champions world skated the short dance to the tune of & ldquo; & rdquo Charms; Abel Korzeniowki, while for the free dance, contemporary, the choice & egrave; relapse of & ldquo; Black Rain in Your Eyes & rdquo; Ezio Bosso and & ldquo; Build a Home & rdquo; of Cinematic Orchestra.
As expected, Papadakis / CIZERON (183,90) have repeated the success achieved last season, but the numbers have shown a physical condition than expected. & Nbsp; In this regard, it must, in fact, be forgotten that Papadakis & egrave; It was still a long time between late summer and early fall due to a concussion. Each element & egrave; He appeared perfectly placed in the choreography with an obsessive attention to every detail. Style & egrave; remained the winner of last season, but it would be folly to depart after the successes. The novelty & agrave; Main related construction and type of lift, starting from stationary that opened the free dance. They are, however, got good feedback on all elements, despite the twizzles were not five stars in both segments of the competition (level two in the free dance by two barbs evenly divided) from here at the European Championships, there will be & agrave; way to acquire that speed & agrave; that from time to time & egrave; failed between steps l & rsquo; another, but, overall, the & rsquo; & egrave impression aroused; undoubtedly positive. A major strength is the & rsquo; & agrave innate complicity; of torque and a perfect match to the technical staff who are creating programs that are perfectly "sewn" on the characteristics of the two athletes.
As for the European Championships, bisogner & agrave; understand what the intentions of the French Federation, which will have & agrave; decide how many of the three places available to use. Behind Papadakis / CIZERON, we were placed Italian-French Lorenza Alessandrini / Pierre Souqeut (129.85), who clearly preceded Peroline Ojardias / Michael Bramante (118.13).
Between pairs of artistic, Vanessa James and Morgan Cipres (198.76) filed the fourth consecutive unleashing two solid performances. In the short program, except for the death spiral, every element & egrave; It was performed without any mention deburring with d & rsquo; to honor the triple twist. In the segment pi & ugrave; long race, however, Cipres & egrave; fell after completing the combination triple toe loop / triple toe loop, pi & ugrave; sometimes it performed well in the morning during the & rsquo; training, and encouraging news came from quadruple salchow launched, landed with the & rsquo; help of a step-out, but close to being mastered. For the rest, the lifting provided positive feedback cos & Igrave; such as the triple salchow in parallel. Remains admirable willingness & agrave; to raise the technical level to try to keep the wake of the couples at the top of the international scene. Second place & egrave; Camille went to Mendoza / Pavel Kovalev (115.62).
In the women, at the end of a race of two halves, you & egrave; tax for the third year running Mae Berenice Meit & egrave; (160.66), which & egrave; He managed to overturn the result of the short program in favor of Laurine Lecavalier (157.23). The winner, falling twice in the short-program, had the merit of complete, albeit with some heartache too coinciding of numerous landings, two double axel and seven triple jumps in the free program, including a toe loop under rotated. Lecavaliver, impeccable elements jump of the first leg of the race to open a triple combination toe loop / triple toe loop, threw away success in the second part of the free program where, in addition to having lost his way the top combined, has bungled, as d & rsquo; habit, on the triple flip and & egrave; fall on the second triple lutz. The podium & egrave; It completed by fifteen Nice Alizee Crozet (132.15).
& Nbsp;
L & rsquo; waiting men's competition & nbsp; & Egrave; It was dominated by Chafik Besseghier (245.48), which, after a lengthy process of podiums, won the first national title of his career. The twenty-six of Grenoble & egrave; It was masterful in the short program in which each element has performed impeccably beginning with the combination quadruple toe loop / triple toe loop and the triple axel. Proof & egrave; It was pretty convincing in the segment pi & ugrave; long race, although failure to & rsquo; call the second quad toe loop, triple run in conjunction with another triple toe loop. Besseghier nevertheless completed a quadruple toe loop, a double axel and seven triple jumps, including two axel.
In second place, with almost forty points behind, you & egrave; placed Florent Amodio, who do not seem to have greatly benefited from the care Morozov. The quadruple salchow, in fact, not & egrave; He never came, while the triple axel, well executed in the short program, did not provide the answers you hope segment pi & ugrave; long race, stained from spills on a triple axel short rotation and a triple salchow, not to mention a double lutz instead run & eacute; triple. Moreover, the defending champion & egrave; Besseghier it has been outclassed by the sum of the components of the program.
Surprisingly, the twenty year old Simon Hocquaux (196.40) is & egrave; accommodated on the step pi & ugrave; the bottom of the podium managing to get the better of an unrecognizable Romain Ponsart (184.10), accompanied kiss & amp; cry from Kori Ade and Vincent Restencourt, coaches Jason Brown.
The ball is now in the French federation that soon will announce & agrave; the names of the athletes that will take part at the upcoming European Championships.
