The sixteen year old Russian, despite the boos of an ungenerous and unwarranted public impolite and even less competent, dominated the short program revealing a clear superiority & agrave; technical than the competition.
The principal value of dell''allieva Ethers Tutberidze & egrave; It was to not commit any deburring using a read-tactical stretegica impeccable. Medvedeva, in fact, unlike many rivals, Japan and the US in the first place, you & egrave; placed in a condition to present elements leap at risk, either because of problems of input wire, both for difficulty & agrave; nell''eseguire rotations required. Proof & egrave; was perci & ograve; characterized by cleaning and fluidity & agrave; with important feedback on program components, grew exponentially compared to previous releases. On the technical front, jumps first all''occhio the choice of placing each element of jump in the second half & agrave; program and secondly mastery nell''eseguire spins best of the lot. On the sidelines, it should be stressed as the short-program of the three stages of Grand Prix which took part, Medvedeva has always received the highest level available not only on the elements of spinning, but also on the sequence of steps.
In light of the partial classification, the table seems set for rival Mao Asada and Yu-Na Kim, only athletes able to establish itself in the space of twelve months is in the final of the Junior Grand Prix in one of the senior circuit.
In second place, with a heavy detachment of more than five points, you & egrave; attested elena radionova, another product of the "cantera" Russian. Almost seventeen Moscow has unsheathed the usual character of lioness fighting to take home each element. The vice-champion, continental & egrave; distinguished for the ability & agrave; to change the score in the race and, having landed with some heartache triple lutz opening losing the chance & agrave; to perform the planned combination, & egrave; He was able to attack a triple toe loop to triple Rittberger transforming an error in a strength. Ci & ograve; Accordingly, nell''occasione, & egrave; He was outclassed by Medvedeva on each item of the program components and especially sull''esecuzione each element presentanto.
Radinova preceded by three tenths Japan's Mao Asada, the author of a great triple axel, the tops of quality & agrave; and un''enciclopedica sequence of steps, but penalized by the combination triple flip / triple Rittberger, judged short rotation on both jumps, and by the lack of an element as & egrave; failed the jump preceded by step. However, the 'absence of the planned triple lutz, the twenty-five of Nagoya has nonetheless reached almost seventy points by adjusting the enemy on each item of the program components.
Remain in contention for the podium even the Japanese Satoko Miyahara, fourth in the slipstream to Asada, and the American Gracie Gold, now well below expectations. The seventeen year old Kyoto & egrave; He was penalized by an incorrect call input wire on the triple flip, while the winner of the qualifying phase has marked a nice zero under "jump preceded by step." For 'student of Frank Carroll, masterful sequence of steps, fatal & egrave; doppo been a flip, the wire also suspect, obviously worthless for scoring purposes.
It seems, however, destined to end the streak of consecutive podiums in the final of the stars and stripes national champion Ashley Wagner, sadly last with a gap of more than six points from Gold. The twenty-four stationed in California drew a black day on the elements of jump and ungenerous & egrave; He was punished with the feedback pi & ugrave; low on the components of the program. In this regard, & egrave; for & ograve; important to remember as the difference between the first and the sixth was of little pi & ugrave; of two points. Translated, this means, for those who still had doubts about it, that the races are won before with the technical content and then with the rest.
