Nell''occasione, they were retouched primates personal and national, but, above all, two athletes have broken the threshold of two hundred points, that has few precedents in the qualifying stages. In the past, we have managed the sun Kim (210.03), Asada (207.59 and 204.55) and Radionova (203.92).
The race & egrave; was won by Russian Evgenia Medvedeva fifteen (206.01), undefeated internationally away from August 2014. The 'student of Ethers Tutberidze, to debut in the Grand Prix, showed a maturity & agrave; art that goes far beyond the 'et & agrave; confirming that fundamental "consistency", so far trademark of young career. However, after a short program or almost as & egrave; perfect, made an inadvertent error in the segment pi & ugrave; long race falling at the end of a double axel. For the rest, completed in absolute fluency two double axel and six triple jumps, including two flip, but not risked combination with three triple jumps, that nothing in pi & ugrave; He would guarantee the technical score.
In second place, with a gap of just over three points, you & egrave; attested the US Gracie Gold (202.80), the author, to the tune of "Firebird" by Igor Stravinsky, a sumptuous free program, points to hand the best career. The twenty stationed in California has well completed two double axel and six triple jumps, including valuable combination triple lutz / triple toe loop and double axel / triple toe loop / double toe loop. Possibilities & agrave; to play for the success are & ograve; vanished because of a double salchow performed instead & egrave; three times in the final with his performance, characterized by a combination of steps and spins high quality & agrave; and unmatched among the competition. Gold is & egrave; also deprived of the satisfaction of calling the shots on each item of the program components approaching for the first time in his career the sixty-nine points.
The seventeen year old Japanese Satoko Miyahara (188.07) is & egrave; He had to settle for the third position, placement that could complicate exceedingly the run to the final. The vice-champion standings has amassed a considerable delay from those who 'preceded by paying duty in the free program because of a triple flip sottoruotato and a fall on a triple lutz equally sottoruotato. However, forget the glories of the Japan Open house, & egrave; eclipsed the 'idea of ​​running in the opening combination triple lutz / triple toe loop and, appropriately, were presented two combinations double axel / triple toe loop, both placed in the second half & agrave; of music. As was the case in the short program, data & more ugrave; relevant in the future & egrave; represented by the significant growth of each item of the program components, even in spite of this versanto it was largely defeated by Gold and Medvedeva.
Next, you & egrave; He placed the fifteen-Kazakh Elizabet Turzynbaeva, able to retouch the national record thanks to a free two double axel and seven triple jumps, including two lutz and flip closed with a fall. All''allieva Brian Orser, athlete pi & ugrave; young race, & egrave; failure, in particular, the quality & agrave; landings, but the feeling & egrave; that is the presence of a skater with the "complete package".
Turzynbaeva preceded the sixteen US Karen Chen, now abandoned by the triple lutz, and seventeen Russian Julia Lipnitskaia, grappling with un''evidente crisis on the elements of jump, although the program has been simplified.
The revelation of the race named after Nicole Rajicova, twenty Slovak rise exponentially in the free shots today choreographed by Nikolai Morozov. The 'student Igor Kokravec, very bright on the elements of spinning top, had the merit of completing a flawless double axel and six triple jumps, including two lutz and two Rittberger.
Thank Medvedeva, Russia has closed the thirty-seventh victory in a qualifying round, which must be added in the final five statements. No country can & ograve; boast a greater number of successes.
