While viewers of the & ldquo; Namihaya Dome & rdquo; Kadoma could rejoice in the partial success of Takahito Mura, from & rsquo; other & egrave; remained a bit & rsquo; disappointment for fifth Yuzuru Hanyu, however, still fully in the running for the final.
In fact, in the case of fifth place, the Olympic champion sar & agrave; eliminated only if it is preceded by Sergei Voronov and success go to Jeremy Abbott. In the case of second place of Abbott and fifth position for Hanyu, the US will have to go in the final & agrave; precede the Japanese of 18.23 points. However, if Abbott was second with an advantage of less than 18.23 points from & rsquo; Hanyu eventual fifth place, the Japanese would access to the final only by obtaining at least 232.18 points. If the score below, you qualify for the final of the American Jason Brown. Finally, in & rsquo; hypothesis in which success goes to Abbott, Hanyu sar & agrave; obligated to finish the race in third position.
The short program & egrave; was dominated by twenty-three son d & rsquo; Art Walls, that in & rsquo; occasion improved personal best. The winner of & rsquo; last edition of Skate Canada has performed at the opening quad toe loop combination / triple toe loop, followed by a triple axel to stun beauty and a triple lutz preceded by the step, performed in the second half & agrave; of music. Moreover, for the first time in his career was close to forty points in the sum of the components of the program, but, on balance pu & ograve; complain to the lost points because of obvious smudge on top angel with change foot and on the flying sit. Numerical evidence aside, l & rsquo; Actor of Bizet's Carmen & egrave; appeared decidedly more & ugrave; Skate Canada is brighter than that the Lombardy Trophy in late September.
In second place is & egrave; placed Jeremy Abbott, only athlete in & rsquo; last group of down on the ice not to submit a quadruple jump. The twenty nine year old American has performed without any heartache elements jump planned, including a good triple axel in the second part of the program, arguing the quality & agrave; skating as well & eacute; interpretative, probably not awarded to the bottom by the judges. Remains also regret the point penalty because a violation on time.
Surprisingly, the third place & egrave; was occupied by twenty-three Japanese Daisuke Murakami, author of the best performance of his career. L & rsquo; pupil of Frank Carroll had the merit of completing the best combination quadruple salchow / double toe loop and a triple axel followed by clocking a technical score second only to compatriot and contemporary Mura.
L & rsquo; waited twenty-seven Russian Sergei Voronov not & egrave; able to express themselves on the level of excellence of the Rostelecom Cup, penalized by a landing on two feet and with the & rsquo; support of a hand in teraa the triple axel, without forgetting that the quadruple toe loop Home & egrave; was attacked in combination a double toe loop instead of & eacute; triple. However, the fourth place the partial guarantee a comfortable qualification for the final, cos & Igrave; as a fifth, if success does not always go to Abbott.
Yuzuru Hanyu, appeared on the ball in the six-minute warm, paid duty because of a fall on the quadruple toe loop preceded by step, properly judged under rotated from the panel, and because of a problematic landing of the triple lutz, which, as was done at Cup of China, has in fact precluded performing combination. It should not be also forgotten that compared to the habits the overall assessment of the program components & egrave; decreased of at least a couple of points.
L & rsquo; blue Ivan Righini, for l & rsquo; once again greatly appreciated by the public, he finished sixth improving personal best official and breaking for the first time in his career the wall of the seventy points in a competition of first level. As happened in the Rostelecom Cup in Moscow, l & rsquo; pupil of Michael Huth has landed with the & rsquo; support of a hand on the ice the opening triple axel and not Kadoma & egrave; able to perform a combination with two triple jumps, preferring to stick to a triple lutz not perfectly landed a double toe loop. However, he arranged the elements of spinning top, all arrived at the highest level available, and especially thanks to a & rsquo; interpretation and heard on the note of the usual medley of Michale Jackson & egrave; grew up on the evaluation of the program components.
A follow you & egrave; placed the Canadian Elladj Balde, who has had the better of compatriot Jeremy Ten and the young Korean Jin Seo Kim. The last two places in the ranking were occupied by Americans Ross Miner and Joshua Farris, rather far from the splendor of the past and authors of short programs semplicemtne disastrous.
