'' The challenge waiting on the ice "Capital Indoor Stadium in Beijing" among Russians Ekaterina Bobrova / Dmitri Soloviev and the French Nathalie Pechalt / Fabien Bourzat has seen winners go out the reigning European champions, despite the overall performance was deficient for all.
In'' occasion, in fact, none of the couples present was able to skate a program error free and compared to the first two stages of the Grand Prix there was a steep fall in the scores, primarily reflecting lower levels concerning the essential elements
'' To provide a more precise idea of ​​the situation, during the race, was awarded a four level only on the sequences of finnstep, obtained from the U.S. Chock / Bates, however, did not go beyond the level one on the second sequence. Furthermore, the degree of execution on most of the elements has remained decidedly low for all.
Bobrova / Soloviev have built the provisional leadership on the technical score, while recording a three level over the first occurrence of finnstep a level and two on the second. Moreover, in terms of unison, were not perfect nor even on the set of twzzles, paying duty on the degree of execution. On the front of the delicate components of the program, the students of Alexander Zhulin preceded Pechalat / Bourzat are under skating skills, finishing below, although measurement on the rest.
The French couple, however, has not gone beyond a three level and a level one on finnstep sequences, but mostly concluded with a sort of fall (both knees of Nathalie Pechalat resting on the ice) stragiht the final lift line.
For the third place Chock / Bates, finnstep aside, the major problem concerned the quality of twizzles, not to mention a level left on the street because of a smear of Madison Chock.
I'm already out of contention for the podium, the remaining pairs regulated by the U.S. rookies Aldridge / Eaton. The transalpine Carron / Jones, allenatri by Barbara Fusar Poli, are not, however, went beyond the fifth place, with the complicity of a mistake on the twizzles Jones and low overall levels on the sequences of finnstep.
Surprise on the face of China as the most popular and navigated Yu / Wang, affected by a fall on one of the two sequences finnstep, were preceded by measuring rookies Zhang / Wu.
