The twenty-one student of Frank Carroll, fell on the ice "Skating rink de M & eacute; riadeck" on the song "Caruso", gave nearly three minutes of pure art magically managing to stay on the note on the top from the first second. In the meantime, you & egrave; the luxury of complete without worries a quadruple toe loop, a triple axel and, in the second half & agrave; the music, the combination triple lutz / triple toe loop. Moreover, thanks to the new personal best achieved at Bordeaux, the Olympic medalist is & egrave; put back in the running to win the final of the Grand Prix, but will have to be able nell''impresa & agrave; win the race.
Ten came shortly before ugrave & more; three points of the Japanese Tatsuki Machida, again confirmed in great form and the author of the music at the opening of a sumptuous combination quadruple toe loop / triple toe loop. The ruler of Skate America for & ograve; paid the price because of the levels on the top left on the street angel angel and change mainly due to a landing with his hand in the land of the triple lutz. Singular fact, the first two in the standings have the same score in the sum of the components of the program and Ten, in particular, & egrave; pushed for the first time in his career over forty points, pass far surpassed by few.
The provisional podium & egrave; was completed by thirty-one Russian Konstantin Menshov, driven by the best technical response to the day, which led him to pulverize the previous personal best. The veteran trained by Evgeni Rukavitsin had the rare merit of being able to perform in the same program a combination quadruple toe loop / triple toe loop, a quad salchow, it's not clear if it is preceded by the step, and a triple axel placed in the second half & agrave; of music. So far this season, no one was able to perform two quadruple jumps and two triple jumps in the short-program.
After that, you & egrave; placed the American Richard Dornbush, who scored a try without flaws, but conditioned by the decision not to carry out four times. The strategy, at least for now, we & egrave; turned out to be questionable as the twenty-three California with a second place would still have a chance to qualify for the final, subject to the need & agrave; to collect the highest number of points possible that clashes with the decision to give up to four times.
In fifth place is & egrave; French certificate Chafik Besseghier, brilliant combination of quadruple toe loop / triple toe loop and triple axel, which preceded the disappointing Russian Maxim Kovtun fell on quadruple toe loop and triple axel, but appeared in trouble & agrave; the elements of jump since the combination of opening quad salchow / double toe loop. The 'student Elena will Buianova & agrave; now forced to recover at least two positions in order not to jeopardize the chance & agrave; to reach the final.
Good performance also for the American Adam Rippon, the young Russian Adian Pitkeev and French Florent Amodio, finished nell''ordine between the seventh and ninth place with a lot of best evidence for each season. The 'expected Chinese Han Yan, the first appearance in the race after the' incident in the warm-up program free of Cup of China, it & egrave; had to settle for tenth place, affected by a fall on the triple toe loop, which would have been four times. In positive & ograve; remains a "ammorbante" triple axel, faced with speed & agrave; neutral and perfectly completed.
The level of competition is & egrave; revealed excellence, as evidenced by the fact that the tenth in a ranking it has reached 73.18, an event never happened in the history of the circuit.
