L & rsquo; only minor imperfection & egrave; arrived in coincidence with the & rsquo; landing of the second double axel, but at this juncture it & egrave; Having regard to the sanity & agrave; / maturity & agrave; of & rsquo; athlete who, instead of & eacute; add a double toe loop in combination, as provided for by the plan race, made the combination a few moments after attacking the double toe loop to a triple lutz.
