The pair of Canadian artistic ruled the roost in both segments of the race annihilating the competition on each item in the score. Moreover, reflecting the dominance of world champions in charge, not & egrave; nothing happened that was not already & agrave; It was planned ahead.
Students of Richard Gauthier, after putting on un''ipoteca victory in the short program, have spoken of even higher levels in the free program, skated on the song "Hometown Glory" by Adele. Impeccable elements of torque, Duhamel / Radford landed a magnificent quadruple salchow launched, perhaps the best of his career. To the disappointment of the public they were then given up to four times lutz launched, probably to avoid accidents in the race down & agrave; largely won. The 'unique deburring concerned the combination triple toe loop / double toe loop / double toe loop as Duhamel landed the opening jump placing both hands on the ice and being able to connect with a simple toe loop and double toe loop then expected. On the sidelines, the Canadian couple has torn the Russians Kavaguti / Smirnov primacy season and for the fifth consecutive race in the first level has exceeded the threshold of seventy points TES (total elements score).
Young Russians Evgenia Tarasova / Vladimir Morozov have easily won the second coin of twenty-five points separated by the victors, but by a margin of more than sixteen lengths on his pursuers. The emerging partnership of the school directed by Nina Mozer has performed in the free program as planned managing to bring home both elements jump in parallel (and triple salchow combination triple toe loop / double toe loop / double toe loop) and proposing throw jumps dall''altezza sidereal, but not flawless sull''atterraggio. Obviously, the highlight remains the triple twist of dizzying beauty, while the lifting placed in final emerged a bit '' of difficulties & agrave; fatigue-related. The 'axel lasso, in particular, & egrave; It was made with enormous trouble.
The sifda between pairs of school Gauthier won with the step pi & ugrave; the bottom of the podium was dominated by a narrow margin the hosts Kirsten Moore-Towers / Dylan Moscovitch, which, cos & Igrave; as Americans Marissa Castelli / Mervin Tran, they have set a new personal best. The Canadian couple has revealed vast improvements over previous releases and, despite the lifting axel lasso not risen, & egrave; managed to hold blow on the technical side, strong dell''esecuzione jumps in parallel (triple toe loop / double toe loop / double toe loop and triple salchow) and launched (triple Rittberger and triple salchow) value. The rivals have, however, proven superior on twist, lifting and elements of the couple, but they made too many mistakes on the jumps, however, equally distributed.
In fifth place they were placed the disappointing Russian Vera Bazarova / Andrei Deputat, that stood out mainly for the 'disturbing thinness of Bazarova. Behind Students Oleg Vassiliev, stood the advanced Austrian Miriam Ziegler / Severin Kiefer, authors of the new national record and able to complete a triple lutz in parallel.
The Italian couple composed of Valentina Marchei and Ondrej Hotarek did not take part in the free program because of a head injury suffered by traumo Hotarek nell''allenamento of Thursday & Igrave ;. Specifically, a worsening dell''atleta prompted the medical staff to advise against the presence in the race.
