The seventeen year old stationed in St. Petersburg, the second at the end of the short program, dominated the segment pi & ugrave; long race getting a well-deserved standing ovation from & rsquo; Oriental Sports Center in Shanghai. Analyzing the performance today, we see that the evaluation of the components of the program have increased significantly for the first time by touching sixty points. Moreover, considering that one of the two presented lutz & egrave; was completed twice instead of & eacute; triple and virt & ugrave; levels of spins and steps that they stopped at three, two hundred point, now missing for just over & ugrave; three points seem well within reach. In the free program, Tuktamysheva completed two double axel and six triple jumps, performing, among other things, a combination triple toe loop / triple toe loop just before entering in the second half & agrave; of the program. L & rsquo; student of Alexei Mishin, after having taken part in no less than six competitions in less than two months, potr & agrave; now has five weeks to make the most of the final Grand Prix, a milestone for the third time in four years.
L & rsquo; waiting for you Julia Lipnitskaia & egrave; had to settle for place d & rsquo; s honor in the free program revealing clear limits of physical condition. The Vice-World Champion after achieving a & rsquo; s excellent combination double axel / triple toe loop / double toe loop, trademark junior career, & egrave; fell on a triple salchow attempt and then botched exchange wire the flying camel, somehow managing to still get to the highest level available. Next, an archived & rsquo; s obvious imperfection on the sequence of steps, sebrava soon as she recovered from completing a triple Rittberger. In fact ;, & agrave l & igrave; forward, & egrave; turned off the light and, aided by the disappointment at not being able to repeat the combination double axel / triple toe loop planned, blew in a matter of seconds, leaving three elements of jump street even a combination. However, beyond the & agrave; today's performance clearly deficient, the construction of the program & egrave; appeared well thought out and perfectly suited to exploit the advantages of & rsquo; athlete from the technical point of view. Obviously, a more articulated view potr & agrave; be provided at the next event, which will be & agrave; two weeks in Bordeaux, venue for this season's Troph & egrave; and Eric Bompard.
Third place & egrave; placed twenty year-old Japanese Kanako Murakami, author of a free program with two faces. L & rsquo; pupil of Machiko Yamada, slow, and never fallosa about music in the first two minutes, you & egrave; then suddenly resumed skating a convincing second half, during which he performed a double axel fluency three triple jumps, including two flip, and a good flying camel with a lot of obvious final crescendo. The placement today assumes, however, an important meaning because & eacute; enable & agrave; at & rsquo; s now a veteran of the Japanese movement to fight for the qualification to the final stage of the home, where Trover & agrave; the American Gracie Gold and compatriot Satoko Miyahara, third in the previous stages, not to mention the other North American Polina Edmunds and Gabriella Daleman fourth and fifth respectively in the Cup of China, separated by just one hundredth of a point.
The sixteen year old American, after a short be forgotten, you & egrave; partially redeemed in the segment pi & ugrave; long race where he completed two double axel and seven triple jumps, including to & ograve; a lutz under-rotated and two flip taken from a thread clearly not internal. Technical elements aside, the program is free to Edmuns & egrave; revealed poor passages of transition between one element and the & rsquo; s more and far more & ugrave; appropriate for a skater engaged in the junior category.
The sixteen year old Canadian Daleman has, however, messed up the various elements of jump and, in particular, has wasted a combination at the beginning of the program by attaching a triple salchow, of course eliminated from the technical panel, a triple lutz landed with a step-out assimilable & Outdoors ; euler of the case.
Below you & egrave; placed China's Li Zijun, short of physical condition, but still able to skate for two minutes at high levels before ending the gasoline. Having completed the first four elements of a double axel jump and five triples, however, says a lot about the potential of & rsquo; athlete, appeared in clear recovery from the recent past.
Pi & ugrave; unplug all the others, regulated by the veteran Swedish Viktoria Helgesson, today & Outdoors; height of the level recorded in the short program.
