For the first time in history six athletes have gone beyond the sixty-& egrave; points, when previously the best score from a sixth ranked had slightly exceeded sixty (Ashley Wagner 60,24, GPFinal Barcelona 2014).
The partial success & egrave; It was won by fifteen Russian Elena Radionova, who reacted to champion the period pi & ugrave; difficult career, characterized by health problems dell''allenatrice Inna Goncharenko, now present on the track, and by a worrying physical growth. The hostess & egrave; He has been able to touch the personal record confirming that progress in terms of quality & agrave; Skating made manifest in the recent Cup of China. Nell''occasione the young represented the glorious CSKA Moscow & egrave; It was the best of the lot on the technical side and & egrave; deprived of the satisfaction of ottenre feedback pi & ugrave; high on the program components. Archived combination triple lutz / triple toe loop, complete with great stubbornness & agrave; despite not landing a perfect lutz, each element & egrave; It was performed without any smear with mention of 'honor for the final sequence of steps and the top inverted.
Radionova preceded by four points abundant Canadian Alaine Chartrand, again starring in Moscow where last season conquered the step pi & ugrave; Low imposing podium in the short program. The nineteen coached by Michelle Leigh collaboration with Brian Orser is & egrave; exceeded or almost as a trial & egrave; impeccably decorated with intricate steps of transition and opened by a valuable combination triple lutz / triple toe loop, finely turned to the fullest. Moreover, since the first segment of the race includes seven items, no Canadian skater had ever obtained a score more & ugrave; higher than that achieved today.
Fifteen Russian Evgenia Medvedeva, athlete pi & ugrave; young in the race, you & egrave; had to settle for the third position closely with Chartrand. The 'student of Ethers Tutberidze & egrave; He was penalized by un''inopinta fall on the triple flip, regular strength, but had not trivial capacity & agrave; to recover the lost attacking a triple toe loop combination to triple Rittberger, that the intention of the vigil would have to be preceded by the jump step.
It should be noted as the top three have been able to confirm the basic value planned on the eve getting the maximum available on steps and spins and completing the rotations of the jumps.
The 'waiting champion Adelina Sotnikova finished the test at the foot of the podium with job managing to save all elements of jump, but losing ground to the competition for not performing a combination with two triple jumps. Considering a state of form is still far dall''optimum performance & egrave; It proved positive, as evidenced by the detachment very content from the second position. The nineteen year old Muscovite has presented a program on a Latin American theme rich in transitional passages and danced on the top from the first second, which bodes well for the proeseguimento the season and for the National Championships in late December, stated goal of '' calendar year 2015.
Is not serious; was outdone the US Polina Edmunds, fifth with new personal best in front of the Japanese Rika Hongo, he appeared a bit '' less interesting than the Cup of China and costratta to pay duty because of a combination triple flip / triple toe loop clearly under rotated on the second jump.
The free program is announced entusiasamente, but will come & agrave; faced by the main protagonists for different reasons. While, in fact, Radionova, Medvedeva and Hongo be played to qualify for the final, dall''altro Chartrand, Sotnikova and Edmunds have less pressure on your shoulders and be able to face the competition without the 'anxiety of the result at all costs, not necessarily a good thing.
The twenty-five Italian Roberta Rodeghiero confirmed coinvcente performance Troph & egrave; and Eric Bompard approaching the score to Bordeaux. The main regret & egrave; represented by a botched landing the double axel, but again got more responses & ugrave; positive that the combination triple toe loop / triple toe loop and triple flip preceded by step, elements perfectly executed.
The 'blue got the same score to the hundredth of twenty-two Swedish Joshi Helgesson, but & egrave; It was ranked seventh by the best technical feedback. Japan's Yuka Nagai, third at Skate Canada, it & egrave ;, however, had to settle for ninth place penalized by a single lutz and a Rittberger under rotated.
