The sixteen year old Russian, however, you & egrave; faced with a task is not easy as & egrave; fell on the ice of & rsquo; Oriental Sports Center in Shanghai a few minutes after compatriot Elizaveta Tuktamysheva had set a new seasonal record. However, the & rsquo; pupil of Ethers Tutberidze handled the delicate situation flawlessly, scoring the best technical score and assessment ugrave & more; high on the components of the program. Compared to last season, for fear of getting a call from the wrong thread, the combination triple lutz / triple toe loop & egrave; was replaced by a pi & ugrave; smooth triple toe loop / triple toe loop and partially compensate for the lost points, double axel & egrave; was placed in the second half & agrave; music along with the triple flip preceded by hand. Lipnitskaia, who skated to the tune of & ldquo; & rdquo ;, Megapolis has made the most of each element of jump and has built its success on the tops, especially the upturned end, unmatched among competing today.
Un''ottima Elizaveta Tuktamysheva you & egrave; had to settle for second place, separated by little more & ugrave; of a point and a half, but can & ograve; considered extremely satisfied with both the new personal best for the & rsquo; s entry in the final of the Grand Prix next to be ACQUIRED.

The main bright spot for & ograve; & Egrave; represented by the sum of the components of the program that, for the first time, you & egrave; stood above the thirty-one points.
On the sidelines, can not & ograve; go unnoticed that, considering the junior category, the six best seasonal performance in the short program belong to skater Russian (in & rsquo; s order Lipnitskaia, Tuktamysheva, Leonova, Sakhanovich, Radionova and Pogorilaya) in & rsquo; waiting for the Olympic champion Adelina Sotnikova make its debut on the international stage.
The step ugrave & more; of the podium & egrave; was occupied by Japan's Kanako Murakami, who has so & igrave; the most celebrated the twentieth birthday. L & rsquo; pupil of Machiko Yamada has made a good combination triple toe loop / triple toe loop at the beginning of the program, but has paid the price compared to Russia because of a landing a little & rsquo; complex triple flip preceded by step, much to the limit with the rotation.
The fourth & egrave; moved all & rsquo; s emerging Canadian Gabrielle Daleman, & Outdoors, sixteen other hopefuls author of tecnicamene convincing evidence, characterized by a good command of the jump, among them being the combination triple toe loop / triple toe loop ..
Below you & egrave; placed the seventeen Zijun Li of China, appeared in a revival since the last appearances of the past. The hostess made the absolute most valuable combination (triple flip / triple toe loop), losing out to the one who & rsquo; preceded by a fall on a triple Rittberger preceded by step, short rotation.
L & rsquo; expected US non-Russian origin Polina Edmunds & egrave; gone beyond the seventh, suffers from a bad fall on a triple lutz missing from the rotation, which was to open the combination and not recovered for mysterious reasons. The sixteen year old stationed in California would, in fact, been able to stick a double-triple toe loop filp, well-executed after the initial fall. Edmunds & egrave; surprise was preceded by twenty-six Swedish Viktoria Helgesson, able to limit the steps to empty the elements of jump over previous releases.
