The hosts Meryl Davis / Charlie White have been imposed for the fourth consecutive season in the stage of winning the U.S. Grand Prix victory in the fourteenth corcuito, four of which came in the final. The defending World Champions have therefore established a sensational record, pulling a length of the French Anissina / Peizerat, winners in thirteen occasions. However, businesses of the students of Marina Zueva do not stop there. The streak of consecutive statements in the Grand Prix has risen at an altitude of thirteen, twenty-five programs won twenty-six starts. Clearly, these numbers speak for themselves and that testify to the greatness of two dancers destined to become a full member in the history of the discipline.
In today's free dance Davis / White have made the gap on the technical score and, as has become habit'' d have achieved the highest rating of each component of the program taking the lead to higher all opponents. What is impressive is the ease with which, even in the month of October, we have approached their world record, barring unforeseen circumstances destined to fall short. On balance, the new free dance, skating to the tune of "Scheherazade" by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, was rewarded by the judges with a high degree of execution of each element, despite a rotational lift did not go beyond level three, as well as ostiche sequences of steps, in the case circle and diagonal.
Italians Anna Cappellini / Luca Lanotte have confirmed the second position obtained yesterday in the short-dance record by the sum of the two programs the new national record. L'' interpretation'' s challenging "Overture The Barber of Seville" appeared immediately convincing as both athletes fell the most in the part. It goes without saying that some piccoii details, see the top or the level of the circle will be placed along the way ensuring likely performance over a hundred points in the segment of the race. The dancers stationed at the Forum, however, started the season on the right foot collecting the'' eighth podium finish in the Grand Prix and especially by making the first step towards the final conquest of non-trivial.
The fight for the lowest step of the podium was dominated by a'' gluing Americans Maia Shibutani / Alex Shibutani, that both programs have got the better of his countrymen narrowly Madison Hubbell / Zachary Donohue. Beyond beyond today's result, it is currently difficult to consider a higher torque'' s other as brothers of Asian origin preceded by Pasquale Camerlengo students on the technical side of the free dance, succumbing, however, the components of the program, the opposite situation to what happened in the short dance.
The tight battle for fifth place he dominated the Japanese Reed / Reed on the French Carron / Lloyd and Lithuanians Tobias Stagniunas, pairs enclosed within thirty-five hundredths of a point. The Azeris Zlobina / Sitnikov, the termin-fifths of the short-dance plummeted in the last position, thanks to some problems too suil'' execution of the set of twizzles and soprauttutto of the top.
