The ventitrenne Japanese, according to the short end of the program, & egrave; was the absolute star of the segment pi & ugrave; long race, receiving acclaim open scene by the large audience of & ldquo; Prospera Place & rdquo; Kelowna.
The Japanese movement, despite the recent withdrawal of Oda and Takahashi, has thus produced igrave; filed his second victory in as many stages of the circuit, waiting in the Lexus Cup of China next week, take the field Olympic champion Yuzuru Hanyu. & nbsp; The son d & rsquo; art Walls & egrave ;, however, became the tenth skater in the history of the discipline to break the threshold of 173 points in the free program, a goal previously passed by five other compatriots (Oda, Takahashi, Kozuka, Hanyu, Machida).
The winner of the & rsquo; s latest edition of the Championships of the Four Continents, took to the track on the famous notes of the vocal version of the & ldquo; Phantom of & rsquo; s Opera "by Andrew Lloyd Webber, it & egrave; the luxury of complete impeccably two quadruple toe loop and seven triple jumps, including two impressive axel. The only problems were caused by the lost levels on the elements of spinning top, especially the top angel change the foot that, in any case, at best, could come to a level three instead of & eacute; the level one obtained. In addition, Walls, for the first time in his career, he crossed the wall of the eighty points in the sum of the components of the program, setting the record straight with the pretenders to the role of third force in the Japanese movement.
Javier Fernandez favored Eve and winner of short program, you & egrave; had to settle for the local d & rsquo; honor confirming the 'main alternative to the current Japanese dominance that is likely to characterize the season. L & rsquo; student of Brian Orser, higher than the direct opponent of spins and steps, had to raise the white flag because of the problems nell''esecuzione two quadruple salchow presented, not to mention that in the final budget weighed a Rittberger run double instead of & eacute; triple. There & ograve; Accordingly, the new free program, choreographed by David Wilson trusted to the tune of & ldquo; The Barber of Seville & rdquo; Rossini & egrave; appeared very expensive in terms of energy expended and full of passages of transition, which is why andr & agrave; evaluated more carefully when the condition Fernandez will & agrave; at the top.
The fight for the step pi & ugrave; of the podium was dominated by the American Max Aaron who mocked for pennies compatriot Stephen Carriere, returned to speak at good levels after four Olympic lived in & rsquo; anominato. Specifically, the & rsquo; student of Tom Zakrajsek has laid the foundation for third place Failing to complete two quadruple salchow and seven triple jumps, including two axel placed in the second half & agrave; of music. Career, however, has well-executed a quadruple toe loop and seven triple jumps, but & egrave; been betrayed by a fall on the second triple axel.
The thirty-one Russian Konstantin Menshov on the podium after the short program, it & egrave; went over the fifth place, losing the chance & agrave; to become the skater more & ugrave; elderly person in history to finish a stage of the Grand Prix in the top three. Fatal proved to be a quadruple toe loop and triple jump at least another missed all & rsquo; s appeal in the segment pi & ugrave; long race.
After that, you & egrave; placed French Florent Amodio, who & egrave; demonstrated much more & ugrave; combative than the latest releases and especially not & egrave; went well & igrave; away from completing the quadruple salchow with which he opened a dispute for the past two years. The twenty-four trans preceded the two main disappointment of the race, aka the Czech Michal Brezina, author of too many steps to empty the elements of the jump, including an error in the calculation of the double toe loop that executed the & egrave; more cost & ugrave; seven points, and the Japanese Takahiko Kozuka, distant relative of the skater & Outdoors, beginning last four Olympic was able to keep up with Patrick Chan. Specifically, the & rsquo; pupil of Nobuo Sato gave the feeling of not being in possession of the best physical condition, or perhaps I should say "integrity & agrave; physics", proving in trouble & agrave; also elements of a time for him trivial as the triple axel and triple bet.
