Students by Richard Gauthier, rulers of both segments of the race, set a new record of the event the points and they also regained the record seasonal snatching back the Russians Kavaguti / Smirnov, who won at Skate America.
Moreover, in order to find success in the Canadian circuit, & egrave; need to go back to back in 2007 when Dub & egrave; / Davison triumphed at Skate America, while the & rsquo; s last statement in the stage of house branded Sal & egrave; / Pelletier, dated back to 2001.
Although this season has failed the bonus for lifts and jumps performed in the second half & agrave; music, Duhamel / Radford have improved personal best in the segment pi & ugrave; long race with growth both on the technical components of the program. In the free, as usual choreographed by Julie Marcotte on a medley of the Muses, the pi & ugrave; listed Canadian couple was close to seventy points TES (total score elements) by performing the best of all elements of the couple and the challenging jumps in parallel (triple toe loop combination and triple lutz / double toe loop / double toe loop). The only smudge came landings of throw jumps, including a quadruple salchow worth a mention to the complete rotation.
Second place, with over twenty-six points off the top, & egrave; was conquered by the young Chinese Wenjing Sui / Cong Han, who preceded or almost as & eacute; peers Russian Evgenia Tarasova / Vladimir Morozov, just able to get on the podium at the Grand Prix debut. Actually & agrave ;, is one that others have taken just one day not great on the jumps in parallel and with regard to the vice-world champion junior also on the cast. However, both pairs have distinguished themselves in the positive twist, performed four times by the Chinese and triple high quality & agrave; by the Russians. Sui / Han, unlike rivals, had the merit to do so much better the throw jumps, making even the most experienced claims major category.
The fourth & egrave; deservedly went to the emerging US Madeline Aaron / Max Settlage, who managed to improve placement and score Skate America remodeling within two weeks, the personal best by more than twenty points. Students of Dalilah Sappenfield offset some problems too on the jumps in parallel with the obvious improvements on the triple twist and good performance of the triple-cast, but especially with respect to the previous stage, went up by as many as six points on the sum of the components of the program .
Next, they placed a disappointing Vanessa James / Morgan Cypres, unusually betrayed by steps to empty the jumps in parallel and a lousy job of lifting group three, usually trivial for them. The French couple preceded novices Canadians Kirsten Moore-Towers / Dylan Moscovitch, still in a phase of work in progress, but still more & ugrave; that the first discrete output when, as expected, & egrave; missed something over jumps in parallel and launched. The third Canadian couple in the race, made up of the & ldquo; massive & rdquo; Brittany Jones and Joshua Reagan, he finished in seventh place, improving personal best and doing the best & most ugrave; German navigated Mari Vartmann / Aaron Van Cleave, tail lights of the competition.
