The performance in the Memorial Panin, alas also hit the headlines for the serious injury suffered on Thursday by Alexander Smirnov, was with two faces. In fact, after a short ambitious, but dirtied by too many mistakes on the elements of jump, Righini has completed a quality free without burrs, enhanced by the presence of seven triple jumps all well executed, including a great triple axel in opening.
In the first segment of the race, skated to the tune of "Bolero" by Ravel, he landed a quadruple toe loop on two feet rolling completed and then proposed a double axel, that the intent was supposed to be triple. '' The biggest mistake is, however, came in the second half of the disc when, because of a landing on two feet resulting in setp-out of a triple lutz tano, failed to complete in a valid combinazone , despite having tried to attack in some way a double toe loop. In the free, however, the musical choice fell on "C'' was a time in America" ​​by Ennio Morricone.
