Eight athletes are still well in contention for the podium and victory and, in light of the verdict of the ice, which appears trivial tutt''altro launching into predictions.
The United States has concluded a triumphant day picking up his third victory in four segments of the race, but not the 'made with the long-awaited and publicized Jason Brown, bens & Igrave; Max Aaron. Nell''occasione, the 'old maxim who made no mistake wins & egrave; It was widely respected and in the end the 'one who has just checked & egrave; He managed to avoid smudging worthy of note.
The twenty-three stationed in Colorado Springs & egrave; was the 'only truly impeccable elements jumping, revealing the recent past also significant progress in the artistic field, usually the' weakest link. Took to the track on the demanding notes "Nessund Dorma", taken from Puccini's Turandot, Aaron completed in opening a combination quadruple salchow / triple toe loop and, thereafter, a spectacular triple axel. Arichiviato smoothly triple lutz preceded by step, placed in the second half & agrave; the music, the 'student Tom Zakrajšek & egrave; could not leave the piattro too many points on steps and spins going to set a new personal best.
If on the virt & ugrave; the findings in the morning session of training was prevedebile a thickness testing by Aaron, just as you could not tell by the Chinese Han Yan, who was not able to close in any way the quadruple toe loop. However, music & egrave; It changed completely when it counted and the nineteen year Beijing opened its test with a good quadruple toe loop by adding a triple axel quality & agrave; placed in the second half & agrave; of music. In key partial victory, fatal & egrave; was a landing on two feet and hands on the ground of the combination triple lutz / triple toe loop, but the gap from the winner & egrave; remained nell''ordine of fourteen basis points.
The Russian veteran Konstantin Menshov not & egrave; It was outdone by pi & ugrave; young opponents and & egrave; was the 'only to complete two quadruple jumps. The almost thirty-three of San Pieotrburgo opened his performance with his usual combination quadruple toe loop / triple toe loop and then performed a quadruple salchow preceded by step. The main deburring concerned the 'landing dl triple axel, however, saved with his teeth. Supported by the best technical score of the day 'student Evgeni Rukavitsin finished the test with a half point off the leader.
The seventeen year old Japanese Shoma Uno, rightly considered the favorite to win, you & egrave; He had to settle for fourth place, which was affected by a fall on the quadruple toe loop attempt preceded by step. The junior world champion in office, disconnected from the peak of just under six points, preceded by un''incollatura the seventeen Russian Adian Pitkeev, author of one of the pi & ugrave performance; convincing in the major category. The 'student Ethers Tutberidze, after completing a quadruple toe loop, performed a good triple axel and the combination triple lutz / triple toe loop, both located in the second half & agrave; music, managing to touch up your personal best.
Kazakhstan's Denis Ten, fell on the quadruple toe loop opening, not & egrave; went beyond the sixth position with regret un''esecuzione not flawless combination triple lutz / triple toe loop, depleted of value because of leap seconds sottoruotato. Americans Ross Miner and Jason Brown, only athletes took to the track without the 'intention to perform a quadruple jump, held in the wake of the group led by Shoma Uno. If & ograve; Miner completed as pianficiato without snagging, not as you can & ograve; said Jason Brown, awarded the best reflected in the sum of the components of the program. The national champion Stars and Stripes has, in fact, spotted his performance with a strange passage vacuum caused by a problem on the combination bet on what would have been a triple toe loop, but in the end & egrave; It was a useless simple toe loop.
