Today's result takes for & ograve; a special flavor because & egrave; the three protagonists are all born and raised in the Russian capital.
Success & egrave; was won by Elena revived Radionova, that lasciatasi behind the third place with some heartache too in the Cup of China, & egrave; back to speak at an excellent level crumbling personal best. The 'student of Inna Goncharenko has unsheathed a character to be sailed champion answering his part to a score of excellence posted a few minutes before by Evgenia Medvedeva, always fought in direct confrontation of the past.
The battle between the two sixteen year olds, both have qualified for the final of the Barcelona & egrave; It was exciting. Both have performed two double axel and seven triple jumps, seasoning everything with steps and spins of high school who have earned the level pi & ugrave; High available. In the segment pi & ugrave; long race, driven by one of the best technical scores of the story, the 'Medvedeva won the day for twenty basis points, but the margin earned by Radionova in the short program you & egrave; It revealed unbridgeable.
The podium & egrave; It was completed by Adelina Sotnikova, still far from the best condition, but able to skate with energy the first two and a half minutes of free program. Calata physically in the final has collected a series of errors heavy elements jump, but has shown a quality & agrave; in terms of transitional passages and variety & agrave; steps without equal throughout the current women. Best of the lot in the sum of the components of the program, has left serious points on the plate because of the combination triple lutz / triple toe loop and double axel / triple toe loop, triple toe loop in common is that & egrave; It was downgraded to a double.

Japan's Rika Hongo, brilliant second in the Cup of China, has undermined the 'access to the end is not going beyond the fifth and preceded the Canadian Alaine Chartrand, far from the pomp of the short program. Moreover, having nothing from the end, the nineteen coached by Michelle Leigh & egrave; He went all-in starting his test with an attempted triple axel not been successful and degraded double. From the & Igrave ;, you came forward other two crashes and problems in series on the elements of jump.
Good news for the Italian movement as in a race of high profile Roberta Rodeghiero got a convincing seventh place by improving personal best official. The twenty-five tesserata for Ice Lab has confirmed that growth on the components of the program emerged in the last short program and for more than two minutes of free & egrave; It was impeccable. Being scollinata over the hundred and five points in the segment of the race with a fall on the triple flip second, finished in repetition, and a double Rittberger, bodes well for the forthcoming appointments.
