The segment of the race was dominated by defending champion Ashley Wagner, who has posed a serious threat on the'' entry in the final. The U.S. national champion, favored by some mistakes of direct rivals, has had it pretty easy confirming the levels of excellence Skate America. Moreover, in the occasion'', has completed a clear round getting the best technical score and the highest rating of each component of the program, the result among other things of a more convincing interpretation of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", great success of Pink Floyd. The twenty-two pupil of Rafael Arutunian, in fact succeeded John Nicks, opened the disc with a combination of triple flip / triple toe loop, with the second jump closer to that'' s downgraded underrotated, but from then on has not nothing wrong with reaching an unusual level four out of spins and steps, not to mention the remarkable performance in the second half of the disc with a triple Rittberger preceded by the step and double axel ordinance.
In second place, with a gap of close to seven points, set itself the fifteen Russian Anna Pogorilaya, who had the best for two cents on the most quoted compatriot Adelina Sotnikova. The surprise winner of the Cup of China has shown a remarkable growth of almost three points on the components of the program, but compared to two weeks ago, has paid duty on the technical score because of the double axel attempt failed and because of some lost on level spins, however, certainly not the specialty of the house. It should be remarked how it was again the combination sumptuous triple lutz / triple toe loop, nowadays by far the best in terms of quality of the circuit. Regarding the call of the wrong wire on the triple lutz, you could open a long discussion, which will surely be further reason to approfondimeneto by the editorial staff "figure skating" of NeveItalia.
The vice-European champion, forced to close the Trophée Eric Bompard in the first two positions to reach the final, has, however, caught a miserable day on the elements of jump landing all the way forward triple Rittberger the combination with the triple lutz, properly degraded. In addition, after performing a valuable triple flip preceded by the step, completed a single instead of double axel, going to almost zero on'' element.
In the wake of the young Russian, is the nineteen year old American Christina Gao, author of a good combination triple toe loop / triple toe loop at the beginning, but hampered by the rotation of the missing triple Rittberger preceded by the step. Follow Ranked compatriot Samantha Cesario, went close to completing the combination triple Rittberger / triple Rittberger (FAILURE TO is a quarter turn abbonandante on the second jump), France's Mae Berenice Meite, capable of presenting a program almost clean with a single small burr on the execution of the'' triple Rittberger preceded by the step, and the veteran Canadian Amelie Lacoste, underpaid on the components of the program, but as at Skate Canada, at ease on the elements of jump, triple flip understood.
The ranking is closed by the Swedish Viktoria Helgesson, in trouble on the triple Rittberger and'' landing on the double axel, and by'' Ukrainian Natalia Popova, not perfect on the triple flip atterragio'' which opened the combination with the double toe loop, but, in particular, non-competitive in the face of the enemy on the components of the program.
