The credit is not & egrave; dell''atteso been much publicized and Jason Brown, but Max Aaron, who, after a fight on the edge of cents with the young Japanese Shoma Uno, has conquered the "UW & ndash; Milwaukee Panther Arena" Milwaukee, home to Skate America. Moreover, to find a successful stars and stripes nell''appuntamento home, & egrave; must go back to the distant 2009, when Evan Lysacek won at Lake Placid.
The thirty-fourth edition of Skate America & egrave; perci & ograve; ended in triumph for the US movement, able to get two wins and podium finishes in each competition.
The twenty-three Aaron, after having skated a flawless short program of note, you & egrave; repeated segment pi & ugrave; long race showing a consistency on elements of jump, given intermittently in the past. Took to the track on the notes of the soundtrack of the film "Black Swan", the 'student Tom Zakrajšek performed impeccably salchow two quads and six triple jumps, including two axel high bill. The 'One small step-load & egrave; arrived on trivial final double axel, but not stained in any way a benefit from the first class. In particular, the impression has aroused considerable athletic condition of the winner, able to perform in the second half & agrave; music quadruple salchow, a triple axel and the combination triple lutz / euler / triple salchow. The quality & agrave; highlighted elements of jump, combined with a choreography designed specifically to hide the main defects, allowed Aaron to break down for the first time in his career the threshold of eighty points on the sum of the components of the program and to touch up all personal records. On the sidelines, it should be stressed as the 258.95 achieved in Milwaukee represents the third all-time performance for the US movement behind the findings achieved last season by Brown (263.17) and Farris (260.01)
The 'still seventeen Japanese Shoma A & egrave; It was the best of the lot in the free program, but to debut in the Grand Prix with a successful & egrave; Failure all''appello little more & ugrave; of a point and a half. The world champion Junior & egrave; He failed to execute the jump layout planned by completing two quadruple toe loop, the second after three minutes of the program, seven triple jumps, including two axel, and a double axel. The only minor niggles concerned the 'landing the first quadruple toe loop, saved with dexterity, and the top combined final where & egrave; failure to one of the required positions. For the rest, the 'student Machiko Yamada & egrave; pointed to the 'innate ability & agrave; to remain always on the note delighting the audience with a convincing interpretation of Puccini's Turandot.
In a free program in which all the athletes have made at least one attempt to quadruple jump, the top two finishers were evacuated abysmal taking the lead of the competition.
The podium & egrave; It was completed by the American Jason Brown, who, despite the mistakes on the elements of jump higher value & egrave; He managed to stay in share through better reflected in the absolute sum of the components of the program. The test sample national stars and stripes & egrave; It was caratterizata dall''eccellenza of steps, spins and steps transition, but marred by too many uncertain landings.
The Chinese Han Yan and the young Russian Adian Pitkeev, fourth and sixth respectively, have lost the chance & agrave; on the podium missing a triple axel attempt, opened in flight photocopies after one rotation. The seventeen year old student has to Tutberidze Ethers & ograve; He completed two quadruple toe loop, taking off the satisfaction of crumble the personal best. In between you & egrave; placed Russian Konstantin Menshov, that in the stages of Grand Prix has already & agrave; racked up six placings in fourth and fifth place. The almost thirty-three of St. Petersburg, on the podium after the short program, & egrave; betrayed by a fall on quadruple salchow and second quadruple toe loop attempt not been successful.
Worth a mention of the 'eighth final of the twenties son of' art Brendan Kerry, the first Australian in history to break the barrier of two hundred points. Among other things, numbers aside, have not gone unnoticed the 'good quadruple toe loop and two triple axels completed in the free program.
The painful notes of the race named after Denis Ten and Takahito Mura, eventually ninth and tenth, accomplices physical problems of different sorts. The twenty-two Kazakh confirmed its complex relationship with the Grand Prix, revealing a clear impression of loss after each of the three falls of the day. To photograph the performance of Olympic medalist, & egrave; simply remark that the first four elements of jump have guaranteed to cause a little less than ten points instead & egrave; more than forty-planned net of the degree of realization.
Thanks to Max Aaron, the United States filed the nineteenth happened in a qualifying round, which must be added in the final two statements (Abbott and Lysacek).
