The first act of the competition & egrave; been dominated by Alexa Scimeca / Chris Knierim, who skated to the tune of "El Tango de Roxanne" the best program of career. Nell''occasione, students Dalilah Sappenfield have created a vacuum on the technical evaluation also getting more & ugrave; high on each of the five components of the program. Unlike the habits, the couple stationed in Colorado Springs & egrave; was flawless on the triple salchow in parallel, but, above all & egrave; stood out for the quality & agrave; execution of each element among which a triple twist from & rsquo; sidereal height, about to become perhaps four times in the free program, and a triple flip launched stun beauty.
The less navigated Haven Denney / Brandon Frazier were not outdone, while amassing almost six lengths behind. The fellowship trained in Florida by the staff directed by John Zimmerman has run a program without snagging, enhanced by the best triple twist of the race and a & rsquo; flawless execution of triple Rittberger launched and triple salchow in parallel.
Surprisingly, the step pi & ugrave; the bottom of the podium & egrave; was temporarily occupied by rookies Marissa Castelli / Mervin Tran, however, among the first to get on the ice. The new couple for half & agrave; Canadian and half & agrave; US preceded by almost three points the expected Tarah Kayne / Daniel O & rsquo; Shea, which achieved compared to the Golden Spin of Zagreb in early December. Is one that others were known for a good execution of jumps and launched in parallel, but Castelli / Tran were able to take advantage for the quality & agrave; top of the sequence of steps and lifting group three.
After that, you are placed in pairs novices Gretchen Donlan / Nathan Bartholomey, which, against all odds, got the better of measurement on pi & ugrave; quoted Jessica Calalang / Zach Sidhu, penalized by a landing on two feet Sidhu triple salchow in parallel.
Former champions national junior Madeline Aaron / Max Settlage, because of a fall on the triple salchow Settlage in parallel from the rotation suspect, have, however, had to settle for the seventh place.
On the sidelines, it should be noted that none of the couples in the race has ever won the national title overall, which, like the place of 'honor, garantir & agrave; the qualification for the World Cup to be held in Shanghai in late March.
