The Italian dance is going through a unique phase in its history, in some ways contradictory. On the one hand we celebrate the successes of pairs of top Cappellini / Lanotte and Guignard / Fabbri, both stars of a high-profile season, from & rsquo; another recording or are all & rsquo; horizon numerous separations that will radically change the movement's views.

Last December, the first to abandon velleit & agrave; racing in pairs were the brothers Sforza, which preceded a few weeks Victoria Manni and Saverio Giacomelli. After the Games Youth Winter Olympic & egrave; was the turn of Francesca and Pietro Righi Papetti, deputy national champions juniors, and, at the end of the season, even Misato Komatsubara and Andrea Fabbri decided to take different roads. Last but not least, it seems to have come to an end l & rsquo; experience of Sarah and Jonah Ghislandi-Third Ortenzi, returning from a brilliant career in the junior category culminated with the tenth place finish in the World Championships in Debrecen.
In essence, the Italian movement is entering the pre-Olympic season with two pairs of & eacute; lite and few certainties as regards the rest, except the fact that proseguir & agrave; l & rsquo; activity & agrave; competitive Jasmine Tessari and Francesco Fioretti.
The situation & egrave; indeed ironic when you consider that, by virtue & ugrave; Results stored in 2016, there will have six participations at stages of the Junior Grand Prix, three seats for the next European Championships and two seats for both the World Championships for juniors that of higher category. Moreover, the combined effect of the placings achieved in the Boston World by Cappellini / Lanotte and Guignard / Fabbri has not guaranteed for a & rsquo; inezia third place for the World Championships in Helsinki, which will also have Olympic qualifying value.
In light of the situation, & egrave; duty to question the why & eacute; It is becoming more & ugrave; difficult to carry on sustainable projects, but the answer & egrave; for s & eacute; trivial. L & rsquo; activity & agrave; high level requires substantial costs, exclusively on the shoulders of the families, and also the results below expectations often go to disrupt the relationship on ice, not to mention as the & rsquo; agonism involves prolonged painful sacrifices and privations. Of course, in this scenario, the Fed does not & egrave; able to plan alcunch & eacute; and normally not & egrave; party.
Announces perci memorize options l & rsquo; yet another shuffling of the cards on the table resulting in the birth of new partnerships. In this regard, at this time, they are beginning to leak out the first rumors, which as such should be taken.
Andrea Fabbri (23 years old) could be paired with Federica Bernardi (24 years), he remained idle for a season after having skated alongside Saverio Giacomelli in 2014 / 2015. & nbsp; The partnership unborn child should train at the & rsquo; Agor & agrave; Milan under the guidance of the team led by Barbara Fusar Poli.
Still on the Agor & agrave ;, if it becomes official separation from the historic Ortenzi partners, will be & agrave; need to find a mate for the & rsquo; yet seventeen Sara Ghislandi. In this case, bisogner & agrave; take account of & rsquo; et & agrave; the skater, still eligible for two seasons in the junior category. A & rsquo; intriguing internal solution could involve nearly sixteen Nik Folini, which, therefore, after graduating deputy national junior champion, will ease from & rsquo; artistic dance. As for Jonah-Third Ortenzi, not & egrave; except that it can abandon the & rsquo; agonism cos & igrave; as it happened in the months leading to Sofia Sforza and Saverio Giacomelli.
Victoria Manni seems, however, destined to skate alongside of & rsquo; Swiss Carlo R & ouml; thlisberger, who last season defended the colors of the Swiss native flanking Valentina Sch ä; r. In this case, there would be the faculty & agrave; deciding which country to compete, provided that it will not be & agrave; can take part in international competitions until November 22, 2016. Should take root l & rsquo; hypothesis defend the Swiss colors, it would be of & rsquo; yet another loss / escape for the blue team. L & rsquo; Italy, despite a number of practitioners reduced to & rsquo; bone, has, in fact, produced in the years athletes of international level and, in recent times, you & egrave; gi & agrave; granted the luxury of export three skaters of Lorenza Alessandrini caliber, Carolina Moscheni and Federica Testa, who have found home respectively in France, Hungary and Slovakia. Moreover, the Italian-Swiss union does not represent a novelty & agrave ;, seen that in the final part of his career Pasquale Camerlengo teamed with Diane Gerencser competing for the & rsquo; Italy.
The eighteen Leoluca Sforza, meanwhile, has decided to return to try their hand in the field of artistic couples and for several months he has been training with the partners of a Giulia Foresti time, seventeen year old from Bergamo a few years stationed in Neumarkt in Alto Adige. In the past, the combination Sforza / Foresti has gi & agrave; He took part in the World Juniors getting a thirteenth place in 2013.
Something is cooking even among the very young. L & rsquo; still twelve Lucrezia Beccari, inserted in the spring of 2015 neo ranks of the national youth team of dance, not skating pi & ugrave; alongside Peter Turbiglio and, in addition to running the solo career, he would be looking forward to the artistic couples sector. Not surprisingly, video circulating on the network attempts to parallel jumps out together with the sixteen year old Paolo Balestri. However, if the & rsquo; interesting transaction were to go through, l & rsquo; unpublished Turin couple no potr & agrave; take part in international competitions until July 1, 2017, date on which it will become Beccari & agrave; eligible to compete in the junior category.
In conclusion, in the coming weeks are expected novelties & agrave; and ufficializzazioni on several fronts, including those not explicitly mentioned. Unless changes of course, in most cases it ripartir & agrave; from zero. Clearly, the possibility & agrave; It can be at the start of the upcoming Championships ISU will represent & agrave; a & rsquo; important stimulus for all.
