The twenty-five of Toronto presented in both segments of the race fine combination quadruple toe loop / triple toe loop. Compared to what was announced on the eve, & egrave; Failure & Outdoors; call the second triple axel of the free program and the final flip & egrave; was performed twice instead & eacute; triple, but were completed two quads. Overall, Chan has revealed a clear increase in physical condition than previous releases, and especially & egrave; He appeared more & ugrave; mentally ready to face the most of & rsquo; competitive engagement. As a result, the rust-generated abundant year of inactivity & agrave; pu & ograve; considered a problem exceeded. The battle for second place has not complied with the predictions of the vigil. L & rsquo; Nam Ngueyn expected, won the title in 2015 in absentia of Chan & egrave; was completely abandoned by collecting three quadruple jumps fall over on as many attempts. Moreover, the decision to return to the short program last season did not pay dividends, notwithstanding the difficulties & agrave; to deal with a piece of Bach in the segment more & ugrave; long race. On balance, the seventeen year old of Vietnamese origin has lost the podium because of valuations clearly more & ugrave; lower than the competition on the components of the program, that render & agrave; required a & rsquo; careful analysis of the situation.
L & rsquo; student of Brian Orser not & egrave; went over the fourth position from outclassed & rsquo; incredulous Liam Firus (237.20) and by reviving Kevin Reynolds (236.18), returned to comment on discrete levels after remaining idle for too long because of un''interminabile die of injuries. Both the & rsquo; one that the & rsquo; another, although they have had the merit of & ldquo; & rdquo contain; & Nbsp; the gap from the winner in less than sixty points, they padded the programs of various kinds of errors highlighting major difficulty & agrave; on triple axel and quadruple jumps.

Only in the free dance, the winners of the last two finals of the Grand Prix have collected twenty-six & ldquo; ten & rdquo; forties available.
After that, they are placed Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier (179.82), who have quietly confirmed the second strength of the movement, while the fight for the step more & ugrave; the bottom of the podium & egrave; decided on the edge of tenths and has seen the emergence Elisabeth Paradis / Francois-Xavier Ouellette (165.83), able to precede in the pi & ugrave comeback; Listed training partners Alexandra Paul / Mitchell Islam (165.61), who squandered a lead of more than five points accumulated in short-dance. Certainly, regret for a long time lifting cornering final run with huge trouble.
Between pairs of artistic, Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford (221.75) have been imposed for the fifth year in a row for confirming & ograve; to be more & ugrave; vulnerable than the triumphant last season. In & rsquo; occasion, c & rsquo; & egrave; been some step-load on the elements jump in parallel, including triple lutz, and & egrave; presented a version of the free program that does not include the quadruple lutz launched. Fair is & egrave ;, however, revealed the & rsquo; execution quadruple salchow launched, while twist and lifting were impeccable.
Julianne S & egrave; guin and Charlie Bilodeau (221.40) were placed in the second position containing detachment from titrated countrymen in & rsquo; order of ten points. The couple ever more & ugrave; He progressed over dell''ultimo year skated a free program without the bench & eacute; minimum smear revealing high quality & agrave; on each item, with note on the jumps in parallel.
On the step pi & ugrave; the bottom of the podium were accommodated Lubov Iliushechkina and Dylan Moscovitch (204.22), authors of the best race of the short career side by side. A polished as ever, committed only one error noteworthy mulling over what the intent would have to be a combination triple toe loop / double toe loop (two double jumps to Iliushechkina). In particular, he stole the & rsquo; eye the perfect execution of throw jumps and lifts.
Kirsten Moore-Towers and Michael Marinaro (183.58) have not gone beyond the fourth position with a large detachment from the podium. L & rsquo; opening words of the short program & egrave; It was characterized by a & rsquo; unusual fall in torque in the preparation of the triple twist, which then negatively affected the & rsquo; entire race.
In the women reigned supreme l & rsquo; uncertainty, but in the end & egrave; It was the 'actual technical rate to make a difference. Success & egrave; went to Alaine Chartrand (201.99), for the first time on the step pi & ugrave; top of the podium. & Nbsp; The twenty Prescott concluded instead d & rsquo; honor both segments of the race and had the merit of avoiding the usual empty script elements of the triple axel jump giving wisely. & Nbsp; Filed a short program of rare cleanliness and precision, l & rsquo; student of Michelle Leigh and Brian Orser presented two double axel and seven triple jumps in the segment pi & ugrave; long race, including a flip taken from the wrong thread and under-rotated a triple toe loop.
The defending champion Gabriella Daleman (197.99), thanks to the best free program, you & egrave; placed in second position managing to precede for only twelve cents Kaetlyn Osmond (197.87), winner of the short-program. Decisive, in favor of & rsquo; student of Lee Berkell and Brian Orser, you & egrave; proved the best command of the triple jumps that made it possible to make up for the superiority & agrave; artistic and in terms of quality & agrave; Skating clearly evident from Osmond.
