The large audience of "UW & ndash; Milwaukee Panther Arena" Milwaukee & egrave; witnessed a performance by standing ovation from dell''ancora fifteen Russian ever defeat in the qualifying stages of the Junior Grand Prix and undefeated internationally dall''agosto 2014.
The 'student of Ethers Tutberidze, encyclopedic on spinners and not cos & Igrave; less on the steps, performed all the elements of jump in the second half & agrave; music completing the triple flip, opening jump of a triple toe loop combination closed, and the double axel complete with a raised arm. Medvedeva has dug a furrow between s & egrave; and the other on the technical side and & egrave; It was the 'only to respect the basic value planned, did tutt''altro trivial. Elegant movements and perfectly dropped in part, has improved, skating on the notes of the soundtrack of "Melodies of the White Nights", his personal best scollinando for the first time in his career over the threshold of the seventy points, far surpassed by few elected .
The junior world champion in office preceded the American Gracie Gold, better than the company of each item of the program components, but lingered for more than five points because of a wretched run of the jump preceded by step, completed only twice. In this regard, one wonders how matured the decision to submit a flip, historically the worst jump of the house. For the rest, the twenty year old student of Frank Carroll completed a remarkable combination triple lutz / triple toe loop and & egrave; It was flawless on the sequence of steps.
On the step pi & ugrave; down the provisional podium is & egrave; accommodated the Japanese Satoko Miyahara skilled at bringing home the combination triple lutz / triple toe loop, but then penalized by a triple flip sottoruotato judged by the panel. For seventeen Kyoto, today impeccable elements of spinning top, the leit & agrave; News & egrave; It was represented by the evaluations of program components, leavened exponentially compared to the past
Next, with a gap to the podium just under three points, they were runners sixteen US Karen Chen, making his debut in the senior Grand Prix, and the 'wait seventeen Russian Julia Lipnitskaia, in the past always been able to achieve' ' Final Act. Both have left some points on the plate because of a jump sottoruotato, but, especially Chen, they roost on the elements of spinning top.
The fight for the podium in the race also still sees the nineteen Canadian Alaine Chartrand and fifteen Kazakh Elizabet Tursynabeva, both athletes dell''affollata stable of Brian Orser respectively sixth and seventh The pi & ugrave; navigated the two paid duty, as usual, on the combination triple lutz / triple toe loop, triple toe loop characterized by a degraded double, but showed a significant growth on the program components. The Asian novice, however, & egrave; He appeared unsure on landings of all jumps aimed losing ground because of the degree of realization.
In eighth place it is & egrave; attested Japanese Miyu Nakashio able to touch up of almost five points the personal best and precede the most & ugrave; listed compatriot Haruka Imai, eventually ninth.
On the sidelines, it should be noted that, except for the Korean So Youn Park, all the athletes in the race may have tried a combination with two triple jumps, reflecting a technical rate that season after season is growing increasingly ugrave & ;. Ironically, the jump preceded by the step has generated a total of more & ugrave; problems with respect to the combinations with two triple jumps.
