L & rsquo; impact & egrave; was awesome violence as the skaters were traveling at speeds & agrave; supported and were about to try their jump. The real entity & agrave; for each of the physical consequences is not yet known, but despite the pain, they both wanted to compete equally. Yan, who suffered a shoulder and a cut on his chin, closed the stage home in sixth place, while Hanyu, wounded in the chin and neck, he received his second final position despite having racked up five falls. Go to & ograve; noted as the nineteen year old Sendai, heedless of what happened earlier, he stoically attempted two quads and seven triple jumps and are then accompanied to arms kiss & amp; cry and burst into tears pouring down upon learning the result.
The reason he wanted the two athletes take to the track, but eventually prevailed l & rsquo; s love for skating and the great respect for the public, including those who are blinded by it forms more & ugrave; becere of typhus. In any case, the emotions generated today are as good as those of perfect performance in & rsquo; appointment & more ugrave; prestigious.
Of course, there & egrave; know if tomorrow Han Yan and Yuzuru Hanyu will take part in the Gala shut & agrave; the third leg of the Grand Prix. The Chinese, however, when he was in the locker room, he suffered a dizzy and & egrave; was carried on a stretcher on & rsquo; ambulance to the hospital directly to make the necessary investigations. Hanyu seems, however, planned an overnight stay in the hospital and unless complications are expected to return home later in the evening tomorrow.
As for the & rsquo; s competitive aspect, the nineteen year old Russian Kovtun has scored the most points in both segments of the race, leaving & ograve; on the plate so many points on the difficult jump elements presented. In third place, behind you Hanyu & egrave; placed the American Richard Dornbush, for the first time on the podium of his career. For twenty-three progressed California, there are about & ograve; regrets because & eacute ;, in the free program, having skated for nearly three minutes on levels of absolute excellence & egrave; completely lost at the end.
The fourth & egrave; went to the sixteen year old Canadian Nam Ngueyn, ahead of Misha Ge so in a sweep by presenting nine triple jumps, however well executed, instead of & eacute; the eight permitted by regulation. L & rsquo; eccentric Uzbekistan still has crumbled previous personal best showing exponential growth, the result, in particular, the & rsquo; mastered the triple axel.
Further investigate the technical aspects of the men's free program Cup of China would leave things as they are as athletes, that after the short program occupied the top six in the standings, were affected by what happened in their performance in the warm-up and took to the track without the necessary serenity & agrave; and concentrated to give their best potential.
