We start from the comments on the men's race. Over all, the'' apparent enthusiasm Yuzuru Hanyu: "First of all, I was absolutely surprised by the score. I think I skated a good program from four times, but also the'' axel and lutz went well. However, I think I lost a little concentration towards the end of the program, on the steps and spins, and I regret this a bit.'' Today I felt myself wanting to put everything in the jumps, spins and steps.'m able to enjoy the race. "
Patrick Chan, of course, was not so pleased. "I'm not entirely happy with how I skated. When you get closer to perfection so much as when I skated in Paris, recurrence is very hard and it hurts, so I'm disappointed. Tomorrow is another day, it is the free program that counts for the win .. then we'll see. "
Nobunari Oda so instead explained his mistake: "I was tense and I fell on the first jump (quadruple toe loop), after which I gave an alarm. Wanted to skate well in front of the home crowd and the more I thought, the more and the thought made me nervous.'' error I can not fix all done so I hope to land four times during the free tomorrow. "
Here we have the statements of the three athletes in the top positions after the short program.
Mao Asada: "I'm really happy to have completed the triple axel.'' And the first time I can knock him down so well in the season.'' During the training I have completed about 50% or 70%, but during the race I was totally focused on his success and I think it went very well. Since I have a day off, I will rest tomorrow and then do two triple axels in the free program. "
Sotnikova: "I'm very happy with my performance.'' It was the best season so far. We are all very strong girls, four Russian forts are here, they are all very good and perform triple-triple combination jumps. They are all, potentially, the "top 3." Right now I have placed higher, and I try not to lie down on his laurels, I want just as well in the free skate to maintain this position among the Russians. "

Due giorni dopo, a Santiago, Matteo si spense.
