For the first time in history, in fact, the podium & egrave; was monopolized by Japan and China, unprecedented in any specialty & agrave; discipline.
In compliance with the prediction of the eve, success & egrave; was conquered by the Japanese Shoma Uno, who, after having dominated the short program, had to work harder to trim down the bully attack Chinese Boyang Jin, designated rival right from the start of the season.
The seventeen year old student of Machiko Yamada & egrave; cos & Igrave; became the fifth skater of the Rising Sun to establish itself in the Junior World Championships, won in the past by people such as Takahashi, Oda, Kozuka and Hanyu. In Tallinn, for ograve ;, & Japan & egrave; went further by placing, unpublished fact, two athletes on the podium thanks to his third place finish from novice Sota Yamamoto. & nbsp;
Shoma Uno, was on track to the tune of "Don Juan De Marco," he missed the 'appointment with the quadruple toe loop, doing little more & ugrave; two rotations and landing the 'element on two feet, but he had the strength to react to the passage vacuum completing seven triple jumps, including a triple axel at the limit with the rotation. For the rest, the new world champion is & egrave; confirmed at ease on steps and spins, despite a level fell by the wayside on the flying camel, and especially inflicted detachments abysmal competition on the components of the program, which, on balance, have allowed him to make up to a technical content not to ' 'height of the best releases.
Boyang Jin, remained behind in the first segment of the race, has, however, unlined heavy weapons in an attempt, unsuccessful, to catch up. The seventeen year old Harbin & egrave; was able to complete three quadruple jumps, including a toe loop in the second half & agrave; music, and seven triple jumps, six of whom performed nell''ultimo minute and a half. The 'unique deburring noteworthy covered the first quadruple toe loop, atterratto placing a hand on the ice, but it should be noted as the quality & agrave; of the technical elements of the Chinese is not currently comparable to that of Shoma Uno, despite today Boyang Jin has gone beyond the ninety lengths in the technical score.
Fifteen-Sota Yamamoto, still not in possession of a quadruple jump, not & egrave; was outdone by pi & ugrave; titrated opponents and has well-executed two double axel and eight triple jumps, including two axel, without forgetting spins and steps high bill. The 'student Hiroshi Nagakubo has cos & Igrave; demonstrated strong command of the new triple axel, to be gi & agrave; ready to take up the baton from one, now projected towards a career in the major category.
In fourth place is & egrave; attested the American Nathan Chen, penalized by the lack of triple axel and un''esecuzione not flawless two quadruple toe loop presented. Fifteen stationed in California & egrave; been to & ograve; able to perform a double axel and six triple jumps in the second half & agrave; music managed to limit the damage
The free program has not, however, smile at the quoted Russian Adian Pitkeev and Alexander Petrov, who between falls and jumps open in flight, are shipwrecked respectively in fifth and sixth position negating the excellent performance of the first segment of the race.
Afterwards, enclosed within a point, were placed on promettennte Latvian Deniss Vasiljevs, the 'Israeli Daniel Samohin, gi & agrave; protagonist of the European Championships, the Korean Jin Seo Kim, the American Andrew Torgashev, thirteen dallla amazing quality & agrave; rink, and the Russian Alexander Samarin.
The 'Italian Matteo Rizzo finished the qualifying competition in twenty-second position in the free program by performing two double axel and five triple jumps. Unfortunately, un''inopinato hiccup on the flying camel him & egrave; cost serious points and a pair of position.
