Skate Canada
The forty-first edition of Skate Canada, hosted by the & ldquo; Prospera Place & rdquo; Kelowna, & egrave; pigeonholed with the women's free program, which confirmed the technical supremacy of the Russian Anna Pogorilaya, gi & agrave; emerged strongly in the initial segment of the competition.
Sunday 2 November 2014 10 minutes reading time
L & rsquo; handsome sixteen year old in Moscow & egrave; sets with good margin in both programs race to claim second successful career in the circuit almost a year after the first victory in the general amazement Lexus Cup of China in Beijing, where he was beaten compatriot Adelina Sotnikova, become Olympic champion every few months.
L & rsquo; Tsareva student of Anna, wife of club training but not Julia Lipnitskaia, completed in the free program, skated on the notes of the famous & ldquo; & rdquo Firebird; Igor Stravinsky, two double axel and seven triple jumps, including two triple lutz and two triple Rittberger. In terms of flaws, should be reported to the & rsquo; atavistic problem of incorrect input wire of the triple flip and a flying camel, usually top to toe, made with some heartache too much and too & ldquo; & rdquo ;. traveled Pogorilaya, jumps aside, has, however, revealed improvements from the point of view of art and, especially, presented programs & more ugrave; ambitious and more & ugrave; rich passages of transition than last season.
The young Russian was preceded by nearly six lengths margin of the twenty-three American Ashley Wagner, best of the lot on each item of the program components and well able to complete two double axel and four triple jumps, plus a triple toe loop and a triple Rittberger definitely under rotated. As was the case yesterday in the short program, was to & ograve; caused some perplexity & agrave; and for some hilarity & agrave; the call wire doubt on one of the two triple flip made, which would require accurate explanations. There & ograve; Accordingly, the & rsquo; impression & egrave; that & rsquo; s current Wagner did not apply in the quiver weapons to counter Russian teenager because not mastered the triple lutz and the subsequent decision to present six triple jumps instead of & eacute; seven are burdens in this historical moment too heavy to bear.
Third place & egrave; attested to the Japanese Satoko Miyahara, previously never step on the podium in Grand Prix. L & rsquo; student Mie Hamada left some points on the plate because of the usual problems of rotation of the jumps, but & egrave; still managed to complete two double axel and five triple jumps, as well as a triple toe loop and a triple lutz missing rotation. Technical aspect aside, it remains a bit & rsquo; regret for the feedback component of the program, which, though gradually increased, are still far from those of the person who 'has gone before.
L & rsquo; s current top athlete of the Japanese movement had most of the eighteen year old American Courtney Hicks, skater holding a jumping technique with few equals in the circuit and now able to touch up your personal best
Reflecting the overall high level of competition can not & ograve; go unnoticed that never, in the past, the fifth placed in a qualifying round of the Grand Prix had gone over 171 points as happened in Kelowna for the Japanese Rika Hongo. & Nbsp; L & rsquo; student of Hiroshi Nagakubo, after years with a rare inconstancy, & egrave; finally able to express its full potential, even far from Japan with a result of retouch the personal record of nearly fourteen points. The national junior champion, has completed two double axel and six triple jumps, as well as a toe loop under rotated, and, above all, along with the Canadian Chartrand, & egrave; was the & rsquo; only to the level & more ugrave; the upper hand on top of each of the elements.
Skate Canada has ruled a verdict important in view of the & rsquo; s final act of the circuit because, unless miracles not conceivable by Mary Artemyeva, & egrave; the dream vanished Russian monopolize the six places available for the final in Barcelona. Alena Leonova, in fact, after a brilliant short program concluded on the step pi & ugrave; the bottom of the podium, & egrave; wrecked in the segment pi & ugrave; long race suffers from a long series of landings uncertain, where there were three triple jumps missing elements of rotation and spinning again unappealing and poorly executed. The twenty-three in St. Petersburg & egrave; had to settle for a sad sixth staying well away from the performance expressed in the Nebelhorn Trophy in September. It goes without s & eacute; that, in virt & ugrave; the results today, & egrave; gi & agrave; time to think about the national championships in late December, a true crossroads of the season.
After that, you & egrave; placed the eighteen year old Canadian Alaine Chartrand, who, in accomodatasi kiss & amp; Cry convinced that it has completed two double axel and seven triple jumps, you & egrave; view degrade a triple salchow, which served as the boundary four triple jumps under rotated.
Pi & ugrave; unplug all the others, set by & rsquo; Australian Brookle Han, less bright than at Skate America, but in spite of everything, & more ugrave; forward a classification of a couple of places.
