The technical level is & egrave ;, however, proved excellent, although not comparable with what is currently delivered by the Russian movement. Goes to & ograve; remarked as technical panel and courts are respectively inflexible on calls of the elements and evaluations equating the competition today in an international event of the first level.
The partial success & egrave; went all''emergente Rika Hongo, a veteran of the final Grand Prix in Barcelona. The eighteen year old coached by Hiroshi Nagakubo had the merit of presenting a complete package performing flawlessly the points top that jump, starting from the combination triple toe loop / triple toe loop to close with a triple flip preceded by the step and the double axel ordinance , both executed in the second half & agrave; of music.
Hongo, who won the junior title last season, preceded by more than two lengths Satoko Miayahara, believed to be the favorite of the eve by insiders, but nell''occasione penalized by un''incertezza on the triple flip preceded by step, seemed to limit with the rotation. No problem, however, the combination of opening triple lutz / triple toe loop.
The podium Provisional & egrave; was completed by the national junior champion Wakaba Higuchi, athlete sar & agrave; eligible for the senior international competitions since July 2016. 'still thirteen Tokyo confirmed to be in possession of one of the best triple lutz dell''intero circuit, performing at best even the triple flip, usually not certainly the strong point. Moreover, on the technical side & egrave; was second only to Hongo proving to & ograve; to have something more in terms of quality & agrave; jumps.
Surprisingly, in the fourth position is & egrave; attested Nakashio Miyu, who had the strength to get behind the 'opaque final Junior Grand Prix circuit.

Afterwards, you & egrave; placed the sixteen year old school US Riona Kato, solid from a technical standpoint, but quite far from direct opponents on each item of the program components. The 'student of Anthony Liu preceded the' elegant Yuka Nagai, triple toe loop combination game with un''eccellente / triple toe loop and a triple lutz valid preceded by step, but penalized by value fell by the wayside because dell''axel of a single rotation performed.
Un''incredula Kanako Murakami & egrave ;, however, had to settle for ninth place in nearly seven points behind the step pi & ugrave; the bottom of the podium. The wonder of the twenties coached by Machiko Yamada & egrave; was determined by a score well below his expectations and those of the public, that at the end of the test had bestowed a heartfelt standing ovation. For the 'athlete Japanese pi & ugrave; titrated activities & agrave ;, Fatal & egrave; revealed the rotation is missing on the combination triple toe loop / triple toe loop that the triple flip preceded by step, placed in the second half & agrave; of music.
Overall, however, has ruled the 'balance witnessed by ten points separating the poor first ten in the rankings. Moreover, whereas eighteen athletes are enclosed in fifteen lengths, the free program tomorrow seems to lend itself to rising from a distance and, in any case, not promises dall''esito granted.
