Fifteen Muscovite athlete pi & ugrave; young race, & egrave; became the first athlete to overcome in the course of the season the center thirty points in the free program, but above all, unprecedented fact in his career, has broken the barrier of two hundred points, going to occupy the seventh position in the ranking all-time behind Kim, Sotnikova, Kostner, Asada, Lipnitskaia and Gold.
The performance of & rsquo; student of Inna Goncharenko segment pi & ugrave; long race & egrave; was simply superb. Radionova, or almost as & eacute; impeccable elements of spinning top, completed in fluency two double axel and seven triple jumps, including two lutz and two Rittberger, placed in the second half & agrave; of music. Moreover, without much more & ugrave; relevant in view of the upcoming appointments, & egrave; increased by three points on the evaluation of program components managing to definitely take precedence in relation to listed Lipnitskaia and Wagner on each side. In essence, the music of two of the many masterpieces by Rachmaninov, & egrave; arrived for the world junior champion in office, the best performance ever at the senior level.
Julia is Lipntiskaia & egrave; had to settle for second place, but, cos & Igrave; like the historical rival, it & egrave; qualified for the final in Barcelona reaching countrymen Tuktamysheva and Pogorilaya. However, the defending European title has accumulated in the free program over eighteen points behind Radionova, confirming that they are still searching for the squaring of the circle. Moreover, compared to the Cup of China has made some changes in the placement of the elements of jump, which, at least for now, has given only partially paid off. In the end, the sixteen year old based in Moscow has completed two double axel and four triples, falling on a triple flip, double properly degraded under rotating a triple lutz and performing a double instead of Rittberger & eacute; triple. A partial excuse, still has to be stressed as the free program presented in the qualifying stages of the Grand Prix was set up hastily in & rsquo; last month and a half after that & egrave; was shelved a previous idea is not considered suitable.
In confirmation of the result of the short-program, the twenty-three Ashley Wagner closed the Troph & egrave; and Eric Bompard in third position, but, because of a bad day on the flip, regular strength, has jeopardized the qualification to the final of the Grand Prix . Nothing & egrave; definitely compromise, but to be sure to be the game of Barcelona bisogner & agrave; wait for the results of & rsquo; last stage of Osaka, where Miyahara, Murakami, Gold and Edmunds will present themselves at the starting line with a chance & agrave; eliminate Wagner.
Afterwards, you & egrave; placed the eighteen year old American Courtney Hicks, as usual pi & ugrave; at ease in the free program, which enabled it to recover a few positions.
The hostess Mae Berenice Meite has, however well defended fifth place by completing two double axel and seven triples, clear testimony of the technical potential of a skater in trouble on the artistic side. The French national champion preceded the Russian Maria Artemieva, able to pulverize the personal best despite three falls in the free program, l & rsquo; matte American Samantha Cesario and Japanese Haruka Imai.
Definitely pi & ugrave; unplug all other, governed by Czech Eliska Brezinova, author of the primacy of the season.
