Obviously, the philosophy for the two major superpowers in the industry was to allow the seven athletes rush to take part in two stages of qualification, provided that if the results are not all & rsquo; height of the situation was provided for the & rsquo; hypothesis to give space to one of the designated substitutes.
RUSSIA
Before & rsquo; opening words of Bratislava, the ranking Russian was considered the following: 1) Sakhanovich Serafima [3 & deg; year] 2) Sotskova Maria [3 & deg; year] 3) Tsurskaya Polina [1 & deg; year] 4) Proklova Alexandra [3 & deg; year] 5) Fedichkina Alisa [1 & deg; year] 6) Mikhailova Valeria [1 & deg; year] 7) Mitrofanova Ekaterina [1 & deg; year]
With the role of any reservations for one of the fourteen seats available in the seven stages of qualifying, appeared Diana Pervushkina [5 & deg; year] and Elizaveta Yushchenko [3 & deg; year]
The main complication & egrave; was represented by the problems of Serafima Sakhanovich initially suspect of taking part in the fourth stage (Linz) and the fifth (Torun), but at the time, remained actually recorded only the seventh and final round (Zagreb). In truth & agrave ;, the fifteen of St. Petersburg is still among the reserves of the sixth event (Logro & ntilde; o), but, after an injury suffered a couple of weeks ago, there & rsquo; & egrave; clarity about his physical condition and not & egrave; It said it would take over one of the two companions selected for the Spanish stage. Moreover, a & nbsp; Logro & ntilde; or should compete the thirteen Alisa Fedichkina, fourth in Riga and in the running for the final with a victory, and fifteen Alexandra Proklova, recovering from physical problems and designated for the & rsquo; last stop on the calendar. In light of the current situation, there is unlikely to be Fedichkina accontonata, while Proklova all depend & agrave; the state of the form.
Incredibly, Russia, despite three wins in the first four stages, run the risk of bringing only two athletes in the final. Archived qualification Mary Sotskova winning in Riga and Linz, Polina Tsurskaya, dominatrix in Bratislava, should earn the pass to the final stage at the end of Torun, but otherwise everything seems on the high seas in virt & ugrave; the situation regarding Sakhanovich and Proklova. & Nbsp; At the same time, with a victory Fedichkina in Spain and at least twenty-six points collected from one of Sakhanovich Proklova and in the last two stages, the Russian finalists may also be four.
In the background, Diana remains Pervushkina, fourth in Linz, that in case of a flat rate of between Sakhanovich and Proklova, could take part in one of the last two events on the calendar could aspire to & rsquo; access to the final in the event of an unlikely success. Moreover, Pervushkina competed in Austria just replacing Sakhanovich.
JAPAN
Before & rsquo; opening words of Bratislava, the ranking Japanese he was considered the following:
1) Higuchi Wakaba [2 & deg; year] 2) Aoki Yuna [1 & deg; year] 3) Honda Marin [1 & deg; year] 4) Sakamoto Kaori [3 & deg; year] 5) Mihara Never [3 & deg; year] 6) Nitaya Rin [5 & deg; year] 7) Shiraiwa Yuna [1 & deg; year] With the role of any reservations for one of the fourteen seats available in the seven stages of qualifying, appeared Yura Matsuda [5 & deg; year] and Emiri Niigata [3 & deg; year].
The main problem & egrave; It was shown by the results below expectations Yuna Aoki and Wakaba Higuchi, respectively fifth and seventh in Riga in Linz. In addition, the 'unexpected victory by Yuna Shiraiwa in Colorado Springs pushed the Japanese federation to change plans in the race in an effort to try to ensure that & rsquo; to the final four female athletes.
Japan, which initially had intended Yuna Aoki and Marin Honda to sixth race on the calendar, decided to retrace his steps by entering the Spanish stage of Logro & ntilde; or Yuna Shiraiwa and Yura Matsuda and moving Marin Honda in & rsquo; last event of Zagreb where still among the participants Wakaba Higuchi. On the sidelines, the listed Yuna Aoki, after a disappointing exit in the stage of Riga & egrave; It was deprived of second chance & agrave ;.
Given the results so far accrued, Never Mihara, second in Bratislava and Linz, can & ograve; gi & agrave; book your ticket to Barcelona as it could be removed only by a combination of difficult realization (five female athletes with 28 points, in addition to already Sostskova & agrave; 30 per share). & nbsp; A Kaori Sakamoto, partner training of Mihara, could do with a second place in Torun for the almost mathematical certainty of the final (would end immediately with a certain second place with 190.46 points, assumptions unlikely). In any case, the fifteen-Kobe trover & agrave; Poland opposing widely affordable, except for Polina Tsurskaya.
Still have significant chance of qualifying also Yuna Shiraiwa, which will & agrave; just a third place in & rsquo; appointment of Logrono (and depending on the combination maybe even fourth) and Marin Honda, for & ograve ;, the light of the current situation, it would need at least to close the stage of Zagreb at least in second place, did not trivial as it will have & agrave; face Higuchi, Sakhanovich and Proklova.
The hopes of the finals to Wakaba Higuchi, favored Eve like Sakhanovich, rose from a victory in the stage of Zagreb and a series of favorable combinations, which may not be realized. Net of injuries of the enemy, the Japanese national junior champion should, in fact, hope for a debacle Shiraiwa in Logrono, where & ograve; & Egrave; better not vinca Fedichkina, and in a placement outside the top two positions for one (or preferably both) between Sakamoto and Honda in the respective second leg. However, the discussion seems uncertain as bisogner & agrave; also take into account the results of Sakhanovich Proklova and if one of them is ready to compete in the last two stages.
To date, the final pi & ugrave; appears likely that with Tsurskaya, Sostskova, Mihara, Sakamoto and Shiraiwa, while not & egrave; easy to identify the & rsquo; last qualified because & eacute; multiple combinations appear.
Among the athletes of other nations, the 'only one who can & ograve; regret for the present situation & egrave; From the Korean Bin Choi [3 & deg; year], in fact eliminated because of the insane strategy of his federation, despite having registered with the athletes to the first stages knowing gi & agrave; the names of the participants of other nations, has not had the lucidity & agrave; to direct his skater rush on appointments with less competition. For the record, Choi with the scores obtained both in Riga that in Linz, stages ended in third place, would win comfortably in Colorado Springs.
As, however, was widely expected, the US remained out of the game, despite the encouraging performance of the advanced Vivian The [2 & deg; year], third on two occasions, but unable to make a difference nell''evento home where c''era ample space to try to win.
