The challenge with high technical content, and on the ice of the "Hala Tivoli" contrasted Boyang Jin, winner of the last edition of the circuit, and Alexander Petrov, saw out the victor young Chinese nell''occasione capable of commanding the fourth time on six attempts in a qualifying event of the Grand Prix.
The sixteen of Harbin, according to the short-term program, has turned the tables in the segment pi & ugrave; long race, claiming the overt feeling with the quadruple jumps. Boyang Jin, in line with the free program skated last season, has presented three quads, which have gone on to add seven triple jumps. If & ograve; on the one hand triples were performed flawlessly, dall''altro some problems in pi & ugrave; you & egrave; occurred on the occasion of the quadruple. In fact, the opening quad salchow & egrave; was completed with the 'help of a hand on the ice, while the first of the two quadruple toe loop programmed & egrave; been landed with a step-out, which has prevented the Chinese from attacking the planned double toe loop. Ironically, the second quadruple toe loop, perfectly executed in the second half & agrave; music, & egrave; earned fewer points than in combination or in sequence (as per regulation has obtained 70% of the value). The potential of dell''allievo & nbsp; Zhaoxiao Xu, author of by far the best technical score of the day, you & egrave; shown to be superior to the past, seen and considered the greatest master the triple axel. Precisely in this regard, not egrave &; be excluded that during the season can be increased the level of difficulty & agrave; jump, a triple axel replaced with one of the two triple lutz executed. It goes without s & egrave; that the next frontier is to add a further four times. In this regard, we should not forget that in training Boyang Jin pi & ugrave; times completed the quadruple lutz.
Fifteen Russian Alexander Petrov, despite the provision of a high bill, you & egrave; had to settle for second money with the meager satisfaction of having outclassed the 'direct opponent in each item of the program components. The young student of Alexei Mishin scored in Ljubljana on personal record in each segment of the race, but in the free program has paid the 'current non-mastery of quadruple jumps. A Petrov, in fact, were not enough two double axel and eight triple jumps, including two axel lutz and two, to stem the comeback of Boyang Jin. Moreover, the 'execution of the elements of jump, except for the combination of opening triple axel / triple toe loop, & egrave; was convincing, not to mention that spins on the Russian & egrave; yet proved more comfortable than the Chinese.
The podium & egrave; was completed by fifteen novice Russian Dmitri Aliev (185.84), which in the free program at the opening quadruple toe loop, landed with a step-out, added two triple axels well executed.
The rest of the competition, set by the American Shotaro Omori (165.97), World Championship bronze in 2012, & egrave; rimstato definitely detached paying duty, in particular, for street dell''inferiore technical baggage on the elements of jump.
On the Italian front, Matt Dalla Torre (133.09) confirmed the sixteenth position obtained in the first part of the race, making for & ograve; mark the fifteenth score in the free program. Nell''occasione, the next eighteen stationed in Baselga di Pin & egrave; has revised its personal competitions livelllo first presenting an ambitious free which included two double axel and six triple jumps. The performance of the l & agrave; some problematic and landing from a fall on the triple flip, & egrave; was still pi & ugrave; that fair to witness an overall growth compared to last season.
& Nbsp;
Previously, it & egrave; held the short-dance which was dominated by a narrow margin, the Russians Daria Mozorova / Mikhail Zhirnov (49,80), driven by the best technical feedback to the day. Students of qualified tandem Svinin / Zhuk had the better of the Canadian Delmaestro Brianna, daughter of pi & ugrave; Italian champion Bruno, and Timothy Lum (49,14), coached by Megan Wing and Aaron Lowe. In third place are, however, the American school Shpilband Holly Moore / Daniel Klaber (46,54), the best of the lot in the sum of the components of the program, as well as & egrave; only ones to get a level four in one of the sequences of silver samba, but penalized by a babbling execution of twizzles.
The pair composed of Italian Sara Ghislandi and Jonah Third Ortenzi (40,92) has revised a few tenths of the personal best finishing in seventh place with the seventh stop on both scores. Filed a season extremely affected by problems fisci, the first exit, despite some heartache too much about yet ostiche for all sequences silver samba, pu & ograve; be deemed to be positive.
The "Ljubljana Cup" will end & agrave; Saturday with the women's free program and free dance.
