Joshua Farris, thanks to a total of 228.32 points, he graduated from Junior World Champion in 2013 making the second free day and his personal best with 152.48 pts. '' The U.S. has defended the better the margin accumulated in the free program on fellow American Jason Brown author of a performance standing ovation. Completing the podium Shotaro Omori.
It 's the first time in history that the United States totally monopolize the podium of the Junior Worlds.
The student Christy Krall and Damon Allen (class 95) completed the best 8 triple jumps and three double staining his program with the fall in the landing place on the quadruple toe loop at the beginning of the program and taking it with a wire does not clear the combination of three triple flip / triple toe loop / double Rittberger. Fantastic open the program skated to the tune of Piano Concerto No. 2 in C Minor with the combination triple Axel / triple toe loop and spins all of level 4.
A supply of high value if you think that with such a score would be entered in the top 10 of last senior World Cup, with all the caveats of the case.
The silver medal went to Jason Brown who has completed the best program of day at 154.09 points. The winner of the Junior Grand Prix Final in 2012 has not committed any inaccuracy on the elements of the proposed jump storing 8 triple jumps including a splendid Axel, not the dish of the house, which allowed him to score the second best technical day, thanks also to the wonderful spins and steps of the proposed level 4. The athlete coached by Kori Ade, Rob Peal has made the difference with rivals on the second score. For him 73.06 points in the segment result of a magnificent interpretation of Liebestraum (Franz Liszt), which involved the entire audience.
Completing the podium Shotaro Omori. The young American, coached by Tammy Gambill, made a slight mistake in landing on the triple Axel, performed with step out, but proposed a solid clear by 133.52 points he made to secure the bronze. Over ten point gap with Brown on the components where he revealed a lack of artistic maturity.
The first of those excluded from the podium (over 12 points) proved to be the Chinese Jin boyang which featured two quadruple but has completed only one, that of opening the program. Not perfect execution of the triple Lutz soiled incoming as well as the combination triple Salchow / double toe loop. The young Chinese, born in 1997, has paid duty on the second score because of an interpretation of cold medley of Charlie Chaplin in which he showed his young age.
Historical fifth place for the Filipino Michael Christian Martinez, who starred in the recent Four Continents Osaka that preceded the Russian Mikhail Kolyada in recovery after short program deficit and author of the best free fifth.
Seventh place for Shoma Uno (187.08) who put on ice in the usual quality spinners and components but paid duty on the technical score because the thread is wrong on the triple Lutz and in general the difficulties proposed because of the chronic lack of triple Axel in the program.
Performance dotted with many errors Antonio Yachts for which, however, has recovered two positions with respect to the short program by ending the competition in twenty-second place thanks to 22 ° in the free score. The nineteen year old Venetian fifth to the last Italian Championship in the Senior category, for instance in Turin under the technical guidance of Claudia Masoero and Edoardo De Bernardis, who also took part choreography performed a program with a number of mistakes made on the elements of where to jump part of a successful discrete elements with the double Axel has soiled all landings. Who performed the tune of Sing Sing Sing performed a program with several question marks even from the point of view of interpretation, unlike the benefit in the short run there seemed bubbly and cheerful.
Recall that the long program at the junior level includes the performance of 12 elements including 8 of jump. Unlike the senior category is not performed the sequence of steps choreographic.
