The Canadian Patrick Chan, who won the French leg of the Grand Prix three times, set a new world record in the segment of the race, breaking for the first time in the history of the wall of the 46 points in the components of the program.
The evidence of three-time world champion, received standing ovation from the audience'' of Paris, was almost perfect, as evidenced by the remarkable valuations obtained the degree of execution. Furthermore, the fact that the top angel gear Angel'' was the only element that does not reach the level four is no reason to regret having been built to stop at three. The twenty-two to clear Chinese origins has opened the disk with a sumptuous combination quadruple toe loop / triple toe loop and then passed without any heartache triple axel, notoriously certainly not the dish of the house.
'' The Japanese Yuzuru Hanyu yet eighteen, fell on the ice immediately after the exploits of Chan'', did not let affect in any way showing off the best performance of his career. '' The student Brian Orser was impeccable on every front deserving the highest level available on all tops and especially introducing two elements leap in the second half of the disc. Red circle, in particular, for the quadruple toe loop preceded by the step and for the triple axel preceded by a controvenda. Compared to the leader of the race, Hanyu has lost a level on the sequence of steps, but it is also able to get the best technical score of the day. However, despite having obtained a new personal record, he missed only 18 cents for the Asian record set by compatriot Daisuke Takahashi seven days ago.
The top two finishers were definitely benefited from the choice of having re-programs have been run in the race last season, to the tune of "Elegie in E Flat Major" by Sergei Rachmaninoff in one case and "Parisian Walkways" by Gary Moore in '' other.
The provisional podium was completed by'' great American Jason Brown, author of a dummy test four times, but without the slightest smear, which earned him the new staff. The eighteen year old junior vice-world champion has proposed, as usual, spinning tops of the highest quality solid showing on the triple axel, an element that is the real novelty of this season.
In fourth place is the Chinese Han Yan, not so far from the splendor of the Cup of China, dominated a couple of weeks ago. The seventeen year old stationed in Beijing presented a great triple axel and a quad toe loop preceded by the equally valid step, but botched landing strip'' on the triple toe loop, which closed the combination with the triple lutz. In addition, it was not so punctual on the elements of the dish, leaving some top level too. Remarkable, however, the performance in terms of speed, confirming a huge potential above all on skating skills.
To follow, with more than ten points behind fourth place, finished the landlord Florent Amodio, penalized by a landing on two feet than quadruple salchow and a combination opened by a double lutz, triple instead. The vice-European champion preceded the Czech Michal Brezina, unusually fell on the triple axel after completing a remarkable quadruple salchow. The last two positions in the ranking are occupied by Nan Song of China, the author of a remarkable combination quadruple toe loop / triple toe loop, but in trouble on the other elements of the jump, and the Swede Alexander Majorov, in occasion'' completely out of register.
