Pang / Tong conquer the first career win in the Eric Bompard Trophe

The second day of the Trophée Eric Bompard in Paris, now in its twenty-seventh edition, opened with the free program pairs artistic.

The success in the segment of the race went to the veterans Chinese Pang Qing / Tong Jian, who, as has happened in the short-program, preceded measurement Canadians Meagan Duhamel / Eric Radford winning the tenth career victory in a stage of qualification the Grand Prix, as well as to Paris. Both couples, by virtue of today's result, they gained access to the'' final in early December in Fukuoka adding to the Russians Volosozhar / Trankov, winning Skate America and NHK Trophy. Students of Bin Yao, while not going beyond the fourth technical feedback in the free program, they did pull a vacuum on each component of the program. Almost flawless on the elements in pairs, have, however, paid duty on the jumps in parallel, the difficulties of the accomplices sore Jian Tong. In terms of throw jumps, on the one hand, the execution of the'' triple Rittberger was fine,'' another from the triple salchow was landed on two feet. Canadians Duhamel / Radford have thrown away the opportunity to'' win the first successful career in the circuit due to an error in Radford on the triple Salchow that would open the combination, strategically placed in the second half of the disc. However, a landing with hand on the ground did not allow the skater Canada to attack the double toe loop expected. The winners of the last edition of'' the Four Continents Championship have appeared, however, up from Skate Canada, but on lifting twist and still far from the quality of execution of the older Chinese. More than discrete, however, both the triple lutz in parallel, which had given worries in previous apparizion that launched, especially the triple lutz. In third place, driven by the best technical score in the free program, were placed Americans Caydee Denney / John Coughlin, did not go far from the personal best in both the segment of the race that the sum of the two programs. The performance of the students of Dalilah Sappenfiled, opened by a triple twist spettaccolare from sidereal'' height, was immune from imperfections worthy of note, although it was missing elements of a certain difficulty, especially the cast. The main critism l'' unison on the jumps in parallel, failed on the triple toe loop that is even more evident on the combination double axel / double toelooop / double toe loop. The expected Russian Vera Bazarova / Yuri Larionov, after a short convincing, were wrecked in the free program, accomplices problems both on the jumps in parallel, considering the point lost due to the fall on the double axel, have earned their only twenty-four cents. Notable, however, both the triple twist in the second half of the disc that the triple flip launched. In any case, the pair coached by Nina Mozer has appeared far from the best condition, as evidenced by the different levels lost here and there, including sollevamente. Moreover, by virtue of the fourth position today, it has become almost prohibitive aspire to the final, unless an unlikely victory'' in the Rostelecom Cup in Moscow. Fifth place went to the French Vanessa James / Morgan Cypres, today spectacular on the jumps in parallel. all perfectly executed (combination triple toe loop / double toe loop / double toe loop and triple salchow). Overall, fall on the triple Salchow cast aside, the performance was convincing, despite the lifting will be noticed less security than in the past because of the after-effects'' right wrist injury suffered by Cypres. A follow have already placed the Canadians advanced Natasha Purich / Mervin Tran, authors of the personal best, and the Germans Annabelle Prölss / Ruben Blommaert, be sure that the couple will be carefully monitored from next season. This free program today has to smile even blue pair composed of Nicole Della Monica and Matthew Guarise, able to crush the occasion in'' personal best in both the segment of the race that the sum of the two programs. The students of Oleg Vassiliev reached almost 150 points, but considering the errors occurred in the short and imperfections of today's triple Rittberger jumps in parallel and launched the'' impression is that they can also apply 160 points. In particular, there was a significant solidiità elements of torque, lifting in the first place, and most importantly, the growth on the components of the program was significant compared to previous appearances.
