In & rsquo; occasion, for the first time in the history of the circuit, three Russian couples have monopolized the podium equaling the achievements of China, exactly seven days ago.
Students Nina Mozer, imposed after the short program, they flirted perfection in the segment pi & ugrave; long race, skated to the tune of & ldquo; Notre Dame de Paris & rdquo; Riccardo Cocciante. Performance & egrave; was simply superb, reflecting a growth that does not seem to want to stop and that, in default of injured Volosozhar / Trankov, makes the vice-Olympic champion pair to beat. On home ice, Stolbova / Klimov took away the primacy of the season to Canadians Duhamel / Radford, but more importantly, despite a free program never before offered in an international competition, have progressed to the sum of the components of the program.
Perfect on the throw jumps and clean the lifts, they are also able to progressively fill the gap in the triple twist compared to the specialists of & rsquo; s item. L & rsquo; s unique deburring involved the combination of three jumps, but a kind of unison that has disguised the 'mistake he made s & igrave; that the degree of execution was still positive.
In second place, were placed Evgenia Tarasova / Vladimir Morozov, who have not been able to reconfirm the levels of excellence in the short program by collecting three falls between jumps and launched in parallel. However, the margin earned in the first segment of the race & egrave; was sufficient to store the best career result in the circuit and to keep alive the hope of reaching the final.
Entrants Kristina Astakhova / Alexei Rogonov confirmed the good things were said about them for some time before getting to the presence in the Grand Prix a major third. In addition, students Artur Dmitriev may also complain because the end result & eacute; the end of the free program had huge problems in making a climb lifting group five (axel lasso) and soon after were not clean on the lifting of group three, leaving a total value on the plate between basic elements and capable of running at least eight points. & nbsp; At this point, it will be & agrave; interesting to see if the Russian Federation, through some trick, to be able to allow them to participate in a second stage of the Grand Prix, perhaps taking the place of fellow Cerniavskaia / Souza-Kordyeru in the NHK Trophy in Osaka.
Astakhova / Rogonov to one hundredth of a point shy managed to resist the return of the Americans Haven Denney / Brandon Frazier, whose second score in the free program not & egrave; was enough to make up positions. With today's result, the pupils of John Zimmerman were forced to say goodbye to the final of the Grand Prix, with the complicity of the many steps to empty the elements of jump in parallel.
In fifth place, with a new personal best, were placed Americans Jessica Calalang / Zach Sidhu, authors of a free competitive program provides excellent and good jumps launched uprisings, but very deficient elements jump in parallel.
Students Todd Sand preceded the Germans Annabelle Pr & ouml; l & szlig; / Ruben Blommaert, up from Skate Canada, but, because of the physical growth of Pr & ouml; l & szlig ;, away from potential revealed last season.
The ranking & egrave; was closed by the Japanese Narumi Takahashi / Ryuichi Kihara, ill-assorted pair and various aspects regressed than in the past, and the US Dee Dee Leng / Simon Shnapir not be judged in the first international competition held side by side.
