They are now expected choices in view of the upcoming European Championships in Stockholm, which in some cases will be obliged by the constraints on the minimum technical score required by the international federation.
In dance, Gabriella Papadakis / Guillaume CIZERON have won the first national title of his career by storing, as expected, scores greater than those obtained in the international field in & rsquo; excellent first part of the season. Specifically, the current leaders of the movement have reached the level pi & ugrave; high available on each element presented, except for the sequence of steps in parallel and sequences of steps in pairs that have stopped at the third step.
After that, you are placed partnerships recently formed the first appearance in the national exhibition. Eventually, Marie Jade Lauriault / Romain Le Gac (116.55) l & rsquo; have checked measurement of P & egrave; roline Ojardias / Michael Bramante (108.08) reversing the result of short-dance in the free dance. L & rsquo; Italian export Lorenza Alessandrini, paired with Pierre Souquet (108.08), ended the race in fourth position ahead of Aubry Laureline / Kevin Bellingard (102.49).

Students of Claude Peri did not however expressed at the top of the potential confirming atavistic problems on the triple twist and mulling over the jumps in parallel of the free program. No problem, however, as regards the lifting and launched, despite a & rsquo; not flawless execution of triple flip in the short-program. Popova / Novosolev have, however, immediately submitted programs decidedly ambitious, especially on lifting and launched, highlighting for & ograve; some difficulties & agrave; too much in terms of performance. Moreover, in the free program, after a bad fall on the triple flip launched, you Popova & egrave; had to stop for a pain, it is assumed in the stomach, causing a penalty of five points in the final tally.
In the women, Mae Berenice Meite (163.14) repeated her success of twelve months ago, having easily because of the young competitors. The defending champion, & nbsp; despite some degree lost here and l & agrave ;, skated a short program without major flaws, but has revealed some problems in pi & ugrave; segment pi & ugrave; long race falling on a triple flip and land from the wire suspected fatigue triples salchow presented. Goes to & ograve; remarked the attempted combination triple lutz / triple toe loop, not gone far from & rsquo; be realized. Nell & rsquo; opportunity, & egrave ;, in fact, not part of the rotation to the triple toe loop end.
The second position, in accordance with the prediction, & egrave; went to Laurine Lecavalier (148.42), which for & ograve; has struggled to get the better of fifteen exceedingly Lea Serna (148.12), author of a short program of quality & agrave; earned him the provisional place d & rsquo; honor. The eighteen year old coached by Katia Lemaire overturned ranking getting the best technical score in the segment pi & ugrave; long race, but, on balance, preceded the young fellow with the ground gained in & rsquo; arc of the competition on the components of the program.
On the eve of the race pi & ugrave; appeared uncertain than men, which in effect confirmed the expectations. Perhaps surprisingly, l & rsquo; won the day Florent Amodio (214.73), back from a troubled period during which & egrave; was sanctioned by the French federation for their actions in Troph & egrave; and Eric Bompard and has also decided to change the technical staff relying on Claude Peri. The twenty-four Brazilian-born won a fourth career title imposing itself in both segments of the competition, because of a test tone below the main rival Chafik Besseghier (197.72), abandoned by fundamental quadruple toe loop and not gone beyond the third position.
It & egrave ;, however, expressed at good levels of competitiveness & agrave; Romain Ponsart (209.45), which finally & egrave; managed to get a long rigmarole of physical problems getting un''incoraggiante second place and showing a & rsquo; & agrave excellent properties; the triple axel, in addition to a wealth of interesting triple.
Amodio had the better thanks to the ground gained on the components of the program, but, in line with the latest appearances, the programs have been characterized by several steps to empty. To fall on the quadruple salchow in the short-program, completed item fatigue in the free, you & egrave; adding un''inspiegabile approximation on the elements of spinning top, not forgetting that in the segment pi & ugrave; long race were completed only four triple jumps.
Deserves, finally, a mention, the nineteen year old Simon Hocquaux (191.58), fourth with the best technical score in the free program.
Whereas not Ponsart & egrave; possess the minimum technical score to take part in the European Championship, will Amodio and Besseghier to defend the French colors in Stockholm. For the same reason, Popova / Novolosev not leave for Sweden, while for the women and dance, notwithstanding the presence of Meite and Papadakis / CIZERON, expect news.
