The press conferences of the first day of the Cup of China have offered interesting ideas. It & egrave; past dall''incidente Cappellini / Lanotte during the warm-up to the analysis of Javier Fernandez and Boyang Jin satisfied, but not in the way, for what has been achieved on the track.

DANCE - SHORT DANCE Anna Cappellini & ndash; & Ldquo; During the warm-up, we were victims of an unexpected fall beating both the head. Somehow l & rsquo; incident has affected our performance, that & egrave; It was flawless, but below what we would actually & agrave; could do. " Madison CHOCK & ndash; & Ldquo; I made a mistake on the twizzle, we & egrave; cost him dear, especially because & eacute; occurred in short-dance. In any case, our program & egrave; high level and I would say that has grown compared to two weeks ago & rdquo ;. Elena ILINYKH & ndash; & Ldquo; It & rsquo; Always exciting to take part in a stage of Grand Prix. Our performance & egrave; It was good, especially as regards the & rsquo; technical aspect. As for the music, we're young and we feel able to experience something new & rdquo ;. & Nbsp; SECTOR FEMALE - SHORT PROGRAM Mao ASADA & ndash; & Ldquo; Today I played the first program of Grand Prix since I came back to racing. My intent & egrave; It was to present elements pi & ugrave; difficult than in the past. & nbsp; I feel I can raise the level of & rsquo; rod and I trained hard with this very goal. I think today's performance may represent the best motivation for the free program tomorrow & rdquo ;. Rika HONGO & ndash; & Ldquo; Before skating felt a little nervous, but I tried to address each element with an attitude of attack & rdquo ;. Courtney HICKS & ndash; & Ldquo; I am very satisfied for what has been done. For me it is the best performance in an international competition.

For this reason, I set out to esguire a good short program and follow a free program just as competitive & rdquo ;. & Nbsp;  SECTOR MALE - SHORT PROGRAM Javier FERNANDEZ & ndash; & Ldquo; Today I performed for the first time in the race's new short program and the start & egrave; It has been positive. I made a smudge on the quadruple salchow, landing l & rsquo; item on the spot. In any case, there are some aspects to work on, see the sequence of steps that got level three instead & eacute; four & rdquo ;. Boyang JIN & ndash; & Ldquo; I felt nervous at the thought of taking part in the first race of the senior Grand Prix of my career, but I think I have shown the level on which I can express myself. My technical background & egrave; It was quite high on the elements of jumping, but I want to improve on tops and on the quality & agrave; Skating & rdquo ;. Sergei Voronov & ndash; & Ldquo; By comparing what has been done today with the Finlandia Trophy, the improvements are tangible. Not everything for & ograve; It worked perfectly. I made a mistake on the combination quadruple toe loop / triple toe loop, but I fought for every element to obtain the best possible result and I was rewarded with a degree of execution positive & rdquo ;. & Nbsp; PAIRS OF ARTISTIC - SHORT PROGRAM Wenjing ON & ndash; & Ldquo; The performance & egrave; It was good despite a mistake on the triple toe loop in parallel. Today we showed what could be our level and we hope to be able to express ourselves even better in the free program tomorrow & rdquo ;. Alexander SMIRNOV & ndash; & Ldquo; We are quite satisfied with today's performance, especially for the attainment levels of each element. Yuka skated to the big remaining always on the music, and I could have done better as far as the & rsquo; interpretation of the choreography & rdquo ;. Yang JIN & ndash; & Ldquo; We had some problems in training with different elements, but we were able to fix the problems before the competition. In the end, our performance & egrave; It was positive & rdquo ;.
