For the first time, reflecting the growing interest in the subject, & egrave; We were guaranteed television coverage with lots of live streaming.
The world champion took advantage of & rsquo; an opportunity to make significant changes to the short program, choreographed by David Wilson on the notes to care pubbilico Iberian Malague & ntilde; a. Fernandez, in fact, you & egrave; combined with increasingly & ugrave; numerous company of athletes willing to perform two quadruple jumps. Therefore, the quadruple salchow preceded by the step, before opening element of the program, & egrave; It has been replaced by a combination quadruple toe loop / triple toe loop, but instead of the combination triple lutz / triple toe loop & egrave; backed quadruple salchow. Points to the hand, net of GOE (degree of realization), a variation on the theme enable & agrave; & Outdoors; student of Brian Orser to earn 4.3 points on the basis of value, essentially the difference between a triple lutz and a quadruple toe loop. However, should not be forgotten as a combination quadruple toe loop / triple toe loop perfectly executed can get a maximum of three points on the degree of realization, unlike the two points to reach a combination triple lutz / triple toe loop.
With a few weeks of delay, Fernandez decided to follow in the footsteps of training partner Yuzuru Hanyu, placing almost on the same level in terms of the basic value. With the new layout, the difference between the & rsquo; one and l & rsquo; another becomes three tenths in favor of the Japanese, who, as a spinning top with input jump, presents the flying camel (value 3.2) against flying upright Spanish ( value 2.9). To date, December 21, 2015, are seven athletes who intend to do two quads in the short program (Nathan Chen, Javier Fernandez, Yuzuru Hanyu, Boyang Jin, Maxim Kovtun, Konstantin Menshov, Daniel Samohin).
Theory aside, the twenty-four Madrid has completed both the combination quadruple toe loop / triple toe loop that quadruple salchow with a spin after the & rsquo; landing, then making the most of the remaining elements, including the triple axel placed in the second half & agrave; music and preceded by a & rsquo; intricate sequence of steps. The score, as often you want in competitive national character, & egrave; It revealed quite generous as Fernandez, despite the inaccuracies on the first two elements of jump & egrave; scollinato widely over a hundred points (104.68 & ndash; 58.68 | 48.00).
In the free program (191.29 & nbsp; & ndash; 92,79 | 98,50), however, no changes were made to the disappointment of those who predicted the & rsquo; insertion of a second triple axel. In San Sebastian, compared to the three quad and seven triple jumps planned, lacked & Outdoors; call the second quadruple salchow, done three times, the triple flip, in & rsquo; when only single, and triple toe loop-closing of the combination with the first quadruple salchow .
Fernandez (295.97) closed the sixth national title of his career ahead of Felipe Montoya (203.52), which took advantage of a short disastrous Javier Raya (194,40) to ensure their participation in the European Championships in Bratislava, where the Spain will have & agrave; It has two seats. World in Boston, however, there will be & agrave; the possibilities & agrave; to deploy three athletes, but at the time, Montoya & egrave; possess the minimum technical requirements.
In the women, you & egrave; Sonia Lafuente sets the twenty-four (148.83), which preceded the twenty-two Marta Garcia (139.36), in the lead after the short program. The winner, far from the levels of a few years ago, defend & agrave; the colors in Spanish & rsquo; upcoming continental event and in the World Series, but the only two triple jumps completed in & rsquo; entire race leave no room for dreams of glory.
In between dancing and pairs artistic, took to the track only Celia Robledo / Luis Fenero, authors of a short-competitive dance, and Marcelina Lech / Aritz Maestu (132.25), appeared in growth compared to the first seasonal, but still distant, especially on jumps in parallel, by the standards required to be able to participate in a World Championship.
In the junior races in single you were imposed Hector Alonso (179.50) and Maeva Gallarda (118.38), who will take part at the World Junior Debrecen.
