Five of the six athletes stepped on the ice of the CCIB in Barcelona are over sixty points, that previously had never happened in a competition junior tier, and the fifteen-Russian Evgenia Medvedeva (67,09) has improved the world record in a short program at the junior snatching compatriot Elena Radionova (66,90 obtained in & rsquo; last World Championships in Sofia).
L & rsquo; pupil of Ethers Tutberidze & egrave; was l & rsquo; only to the level pi & ugrave; high available on steps and spins, but above all, unlike the habits, not & egrave; view call the wrong wire entry on the triple lutz preceded by step. In truth & agrave ;, the technical panel has expressed some doubts on the triple flip, but the judges rightly have not fooled by a questionable reading not penalizing a degree of execution negative combination triple flip / triple toe loop. On balance, the evidence today & egrave; was precon ssoch & eacute; impeccable from the technical point of view, as was recently the case in the fourth stage of the Cup of Russia.
Medvedeva preceded the training partner Serafima Sakhanovich, only the top five classified as not having touched the personal best. The favorite of the eve is & egrave ;, however, expressed at levels of excellence paying duty than the leader of the race because of a bloody level lost on the flying camel final and because of lower accuracy on the sequence of steps. Moreover, in quest & rsquo; occasion, weighed l & rsquo; landing a bit & rsquo; at the tip of the triple lutz preceded by step, not to mention the double axel not slipped to better output. & nbsp; The fourteen year old St. Petersburg has partially recovered as lost on the technical components of the program due to the closing segment of the race with little more & ugrave; of a point of detachment from Medvedeva.
On the sidelines, it should be noted how the students of Ethers Tutberidze have performed each element jump in the second half & agrave; of music.
In third place is & egrave; placed the Japanese Yuga Nagai, who deserves all the effects of the palm skater most improved during the season. The sixteen year old Tokyo has interpreted sublime notes of "East of Eden" by performing impeccably elements jump presented, including, in addition to the combination triple toe loop / triple toe loop opening, stands an excellent triple lutz preceded by step. Nagai, author of the best sequence of steps of the competition, has to & ograve; lost his way a level is inverted on top and on the flying camel.
At the foot of the podium & egrave; attested fourteen Russian Maria Sotskova. The defending champion has not committed smudges noteworthy losing ground compared to the best countrymen in virt & ugrave; a quality & agrave; execution of the lower elements performed. Ci & ograve; Accordingly, the trial today, opened by a combination triple flip / triple toe loop, & egrave; was by far the best of the season to witness a condition found after the physical worries summer.
L & rsquo; waiting thirteen Japanese Wakaba is Higuchi & egrave; due to settle for fifth provisional position, thanks to the call on the wrong thread triple flip, that, between the base value lost and unable to run negative, the & egrave; cost over two points. For the rest, the Japanese junior champion confirmed the & rsquo; usual mastery of the triple lutz, run smoothly in the second half & agrave; music, and & egrave; was the only one, apart Medvedeva, to archive the highest level available on each & nbsp; element spinner.
In compliance with the prediction of the eve eighteen Japanese Miyu Nakashio closed the segment of the race in last place with a large detachment from opposing paying duty mainly because of worries about triple lutz, historically certainly not the strong point.
