A great surprise, the success in the segment of the race and in the stage of Estonia & egrave; for & ograve; went to the Japanese Miyu Nakashio (160.64), which interrupted the streak of seven consecutive successes of Russian girls. E & rsquo; remained perci & ograve; inviolate the record of eight in a row statements made by skaters the United States between 2006 and 2007.
Almost eighteen years of Hiroshima, fourth in Courchevel at the end of August, he actually pulls out a performance of excellence by completing two double axel and seven triple jumps, which they did as a side dish worthy of the level spins and steps pi & ugrave; high available. L & rsquo; unique deburring, however, announced, covered the triple lutz faced with a wire that had not alcunch & eacute; external. Nakashio, with stubbornness & agrave ;, & egrave; managed to save several landings at high risk for running & ograve; the best combination double axel / triple toe loop / double toe loop, spearhead of its program all together & rsquo; optimal sequence of steps. If you really want to find hair in & rsquo; egg, you can & ograve; discuss the value of the seven triple jumps completed in that, for those who had abnormal & egrave; holding a full load of luggage, were performed two toe loop and two salchow.
L & rsquo; waiting Sotskova (159.67), still far from the condition clearly evident in the important moments of the past season, you & egrave; had to settle for second place, which at the time, endangers the qualification to the final because, in the & rsquo; latest round of this season in Zagreb in two weeks, a second place may not be enough to earn a pass for Barcelona.
The fourteen Moscow has, however, revealed character being able to react to adversity & agrave ;, represented in this case by the disastrous fall on the first triple lutz that was supposed to open the combination with the triple toe loop. In fact, not giving himself to win, Sostkova then completed two double axel and six triple jumps, including the combination triple lutz / triple toe loop recovered along the way. However, to limit the rotation of triple salchow and triple toe loop is & egrave; proved crucial in negative depriving it of success.
The third place & egrave; was conquered by the Russian fifteen Alsu Kayumova (157.71), which, cos & igrave; as the pi & ugrave; listed compatriot, & egrave; fell on the ice with the & rsquo; going to run two double axel and seven triples, including two and two flip lutz. L & rsquo; student of Inna Goncharenko, author of the best technical score of the day, there & egrave; gone far away from & rsquo; objective, non only because of the & rsquo; landing on two feet in the triple toe loop combination closuree with a double axel. Just this error & egrave; cost Kayumova success.
The Japanese Rin Nitaya (154,26), winner of the short program, & egrave ;, have descended in the fourth position, which has suffered from a fall on the triple lutz, which has served as a prelude to a simple Rittberger and a double salchow.
In fifth position, thanks to the performance of the fourth day, & egrave; lifts Na Hyun Kim (143,64), a rare example of difficulties in Korean & agrave; with the lutz, despite being at ease with the other triple jumps. The fourteen stationed in Gwacheon City preceded the disappointing American Amber Glenn (142,83), smarritasi jumps between single, double and under-rotated when you open the program with a combination triple lutz / triple toe loop.
In light of today's outcome, the only Mary Sotskova among athletes engaged in Tallinn, still has a chance to add to the concrete countrymen Medvedeva and Sakhanovich, at the moment the only ones qualified to the final in Barcelona.
& Nbsp;
Before the women's free program, you & egrave; played l & rsquo; concluding act of the dance contest, which the couple smile more & ugrave; titrated in & rsquo; view current juniors.
The Russians Anna Yanovskaia / Sergei Mozgov (152.00), reversing the result of the short-dance have, in fact, won the fourth successful career in the qualifying stages of the circuit, five counting the final dominated last season.
Nell & rsquo; occasion, the vice-world champions juniors, it has nevertheless had to be overcome to get the better of Canadians Mackenzie Bent / Garrett MacKeen (144.51), eventually convincing seconds. Not egrave &; perci & ograve; a coincidence that the first two pairs have classified clocked the best scores season with very wide margin over the competition.
To tell the truth, in the free dance today & egrave; emerged in the superiority of a bully & agrave; Absolute Yankovskaia / Mozgov, in fact a senior couple paid to the minor category. Students of Svetlana Aleexeeva are distinguished, on the one hand, for the quality & agrave; execution of the evidence presented and, on the & rsquo; another, for the maturity & agrave; art, which makes them inaccessible at the time for the other less than steps to empty striking.
Bent / MacKeen have, however, confirmed the solidity & agrave; Technical gi & agrave; emerged in the short-dance and race in Ostrava by a draw with the winners on the level of the elements and easily qualifying for the final in Barcelona. Moreover, in virt & ugrave; Victory of the Russian pair, Canada celebrated the & rsquo; access to the final even Edwards / Pang, which, after the victory of Aichi, lacked the & rsquo; ufficialit & agrave; mathematics.
When there are still two stages at the end of the qualifying stage, as well as two Canadian couples, even the Russians Loboda / Drzod are gi & agrave; certain to leave for the. The fourth ticket available will come & agrave; assigned to those among Russians Popova / Vlasenko, Americans McNamara / Carpenter and Canadians Delmaestro / Lum imporr & agrave; in & rsquo; event of Dresden in the program at the end of next week. The remaining two places seem, however, gi & agrave; in the hands of Russian couples Morozova / Zhirnov and Yanovskaia Mozgov, in that & rsquo; latest step in Zagreb will be able to afford even to close in the third position.
The podium of the race of Tallinn & egrave; been completed by the Ukrainians Alexandra Nazarova / Maxim Nikitin (128.59) edged up from sixth to third place thanks to the first test technically competitive in their disappointing season so far.
Afterwards, they placed the young Americans Christina Carreira / Anthony Ponomarenko (127,60, which preceded by a & rsquo; gluing the Italo-Hungarian Carolina Moscheni / Adam Lukasz (127,43) and the Americans Holly Moore / Daniel Klaber (126 , 95).
