The lion's share is touched to Russia, the only nation that has managed to win at least one win in each discipline. It is no coincidence that thirteen of the twenty-four places available for the final, to be held in Fukuoka in early December (5-8), have gone to skaters and couples flying the flag of Russia. Moreover, no nation, apart from Russia, has managed to qualficare athletes in each event.
Overall, there has been a positive movement of the loot'' s ambitious U.S. competitive in the women'' s habit and the main protagonist in the dance with three pairs admitted to the final. Ironically, however, the more chance to bring home a success in Fukuoka are placed in the men's race, which will be the favorite fourteen year old Nathan Chen stationed in California.
Can smile even China, strong four-stage successes achieved equally divided between boyang Jin, among the eligible candidates for the podium in the men's trial, and Yu / Jin, favorites to win the pairs in the field of art.
She licks, however, wounds as Canada, the main pretender'' s Olympic gold in the new team trials, but, for the first time since the 1998/1999 season, no athletes qualified for the final.

Bilanco in red even for Japan, was excluded from the final of the women's competition, that never happened in the sixteen previous editions. In the men, however, the now "veterans long-running" Riuju Hino and Keiji Tanaka, both in the course of last season'' junior career, reached the final act'' for the third consecutive year.
