The students of Ingo Steuer, winner in pair Mandy WÖTZEL in the first stage of Russian history, presented a short-program much more finished in detail with respect to the Cup of China three weeks ago doing a triple toe loop in parallel quality , and reached their highest level available on the reverse difficult period, on the top end, and on the steps on the spiral of death. The'' one-step vacuum has again focused on the triple axel launched ended with a disastrous fall of Aliona Savchenko, however, appeared limping at the end of the test. So far, the risky element did not generate benefits for the four times world champions, I decided to gamble everything to do anything to win the Olympic title is lacking in the rich bulletin board. In particular, the choice raises concerns because the flip Tripo launched the German couple element is able to get to seven points, then half a point less than the base value of a well-landed triple axel launched.
Fall apart, Savchenko / Szolkowy were clearly the best in the race on both the technical score in each item of the program components.
In second place, we have placed the Russians Vera Bazarova / Yuri Larinonov, forced to win the home leg to reach the final of the circuit. New students of Nina Mozer, after a difficult start because of the toe loop in parallel to double-and triple-Larinonov with hand-ground for Bazarova were almost perfect on every element, especially the triple twist and reverse period.
The lowest rung of the podium is occupied with regret by the Canadians Kirsten Moore-Towers/Dylan Moscovitch, now penalized by a drop Moscovitch on the triple toe loop in parallel, only snagging a program that for over a year continues to riscuoteri consensus.
The fourth place went to Russian debutants Julia Antipova / Nodari Maisuradze, authors of the best triple twist of the day, but lingered on the components of the program were compared to couples currently on the podium.
Following the Americans were placed Alexa Scimeca / Chris Knierim, able to retouch the personal record despite a double salchow in parallel only for Knierim.
The expected Russian Ksenia Stolbova / Fedor Klimov are not, however, went beyond the sixth position, due to a fall on the triple flip and launched a hiccup on the death spiral, the cost value of the item and a'' double dip. At this point, the chances of reaching the final for the couple was born and raised in St. Petersburg, but then moved to Moscow at the court of Nina Mozer, were significantly reduced.
The ranking is closed by the Americans Lindsay Davis / Rockner Brubaker, today especially penalized by an error of Brubaker on the death spiral, and Japanese Narumi Takahashi / Ryuichi Kihara, not yet ready for a race like the context of quality.

Un anno fa vivevamo il dramma di Matteo Franzoso: a La Parva un incidente che mai sarebbe dovuto accadere
Era il 13 settembre 2025 quando, in quel maledetto sabato mattina in Cile, il velocista ligure finì a velocità elevatissima contro una staccionata, troppo vicina a bordo pista (e ora non più presente per gli allenamenti delle nazionali presenti anche quest'anno nella località). Due giorni dopo, a Santiago, Matteo si spense.
