The opening day of the second stage of the Junior Grand Prix, hosted by Volvo Ice Arena Riga, you & egrave; ended with the men's short program, a segment of the race which held in suspense the local public, the truth & agrave; few in number, until & rsquo; last second.
Thursday 27 August 2015 10 minutes reading time
The 'Pending & egrave; It was for & ograve; well rewarded because & egrave; partial success & egrave; It was won by the host Deniss Vasiljevs. The sixteen year old trained by Alexei Urmanov tumbler has the usual quality & agrave; Skating getting more & ugrave evaluation; high on each component of the program. Always perfectly timed on the note, the great hope of Latvia reacted in a class by a fall on the triple axel initial panel also judged under rotated, completing impeccably and the combination triple lutz / triple toe loop, the triple flip, placed in the second half & agrave; of music. The highlight, as usual, & egrave; It was for & ograve; the sequence of steps, worthy of the best interpreters of the senior class.
Vasiljevs preceded narrow measure of the Canadian Nicolas Nadeau, appeared greatly progerdito than in the recent past as to complete the triple axel pi & ugrave; convincing the competition. The almost eighteen of Boisbriand has compromised the chance to close the program in the first position by performing a double instead filp & egrave; triple, not to mention that compared to rival paid duty on the tops.
In third place, with little more & ugrave; a point behind the head, & egrave; certificate from the US, born and raised in Russia, Alexei Krasnozhon, best of the lot on the technical side thanks to a faultless performance on the elements of the jump, including triple axel. The 'student of Peter Cain lost & ograve; ground because of a reviewable execution of tops, combined of all, and left points on the plate too heavy on each component of the program, thanks to a choice of music is not simple and a quality & agrave; Skating lower overall.
The Russian rookie Petr Gumenyk you & egrave; fifth place, preceded by eighteen French Aymoz Kevin, he allla first appearance in the Junior Grand Prix despite dell''et & agrave ;. The thirteen year old home Mishin filed a smudge proof, ennobled by the perfect execution of the combination triple lutz / triple Rittberger, complete with a raised arm on both jumps. Moreover, although it is still lacking the triple axel, & egrave; He managed to keep ahead of the competition on the technical front, accumulating the majority of the gap from the top because of low valuations of the components of the program.
The 'expected compatriot Dmitri Aliev, favorite to win according to several addeti the work, you & egrave; had to settle for sixth place, but, in the light falls on the triple axel and triple lutz that was supposed to open the combination, detachment from the first position can & ograve; riappresentare a small consolation. In fact, the sixteen year old trained by Evgeni Rukavitsin will have & agrave; recover less than nine points, but potr & agrave; rely on attempts to quadruple toe loop.
On the sidelines, it should be noted how the overall level has grown exponentially compared to the modest step of Bratislava. In Latvia, increased efforts to triple axel unsuccessful and also the number of combinations with two triple jumps made & egrave; He grew exponentially.
& Nbsp; The free program will be held & agrave; Saturday from 09:30. Obviously, headlights aimed Vasiljevs that could give Latvia the first podium of history in the men.
