Japanese Marin Honda rips Russia a junior world title

Six years later dall''ultimo success achieved by Kanako Murakami, Marin Honda has brought the world junior title in Japan putting up Russian all''egemonia that characterized the female sector in the last five seasons.

The F & ouml; nix Arena in Debrecen & egrave; It was the scene of a part of Japanese skaters showdown, taking advantage of the withdrawal of Russian Polina Tsursakya, favorite of the vigil, and Alisa Fedichkina, leader after the short program, occupied three of the top four positions in the rankings. The news of the resignation of Fedichkina, infortunatasi an ankle during heating in the gym, & egrave; however, it came when the game was still in progress. Marin Honda, fourteen of Kyoto, had the merit to skate for the first time in his career two programs without smudging notable being able to perform each scheduled entry. In pi & ugrave segment; long race, the 'pupil Mie Hamada completed so egregious two double axel and seven triple jumps, including two flip, putting a strong emphasis on the' innate lightness and remaining on the note on the top from the first second. Nell''occasione, Honda, gi & agrave; third in the final of the Junior Grand Prix, & egrave; He became the first Russian figure skater not to exceed a total of 190 points in a first-level junior competition. Maria Sotskova, Russian only survived the accident, you & egrave; to settle for second place in respect of what happened in all the pi & ugrave events; important in recent months (final Junior Grand Prix, National Junior Championships and Youth Olympic Winter Games). & nbsp; Almost sixteen stationed in Moscow, only to present a free program with two triple flip and two triple lutz, he has edited the personal best, despite a double axel sottoruotato judged by the panel, and you & egrave; deprived of the satisfaction of getting the most & ugrave assessments; High on each of the components of the program entry. The main regret & egrave; tied leaps and spins, chops, both yesterday and today, many important points because of the levels lost their way. As in the past season, the bronze medal & egrave; over to the Japanese neck Wakaba Higuchi, author of the second free program with a lot of best technical score. Fifteen of Tokyo had the lucidity & agrave; to change the score in the race giving up the risky combination triple lutz / triple Rittberger opening. The triple Rittberger not made & egrave; It has been replaced by a triple toe loop, attached at the end of the test to a double axel. On balance, the national junior champion in charge in any case completed two double axel and seven triple jumps, including two lutz, but above all has made five of seven jump elements in the second half & agrave; music, including three combinations. Unbeatable in the season in home games, Higuchi has, however, struggled just in international competitions not particularly well chosen two programs accomplices, short in the first place. Next, they placed the Japanese Yuna Shiraiwa and Kazakh Elizabet Tursynbaeva, distant in terms of points from the medals zone, but able to react to the misadventures of the short program and trace positions in the standings. The 'student of Brian Orser, in particular, has performed a free passage without any vacuum. The best North American & egrave; was the US Tyler Pierce, seventh, ahead of Latvia's Angelina Kuchvalska, far from the pomp of the European Championship, and the hostess Ivett Toth, able to recover seven positions thanks to the best free program of career. The 'blue Lucrezia Gennaro concluded the test in nineteenth place. With character, he has been able to bounce back after a difficult start caratterrizzato from a fall on a triple lutz downgraded to double from the panel. Fourteen-year stationed in Padua has, in fact, responded to the false step by completing two double axel and four triple jumps, including a salchow to the limit with the rotation. The debut in a World Championships & egrave; was generally positive cos & igrave; like the first season in the junior category, faced with a valid return from late August to late March. Japan, thanks to Marin Honda, closed the seventh success in the women's race of the World Juniors. However, only in the distant 2003, two Japanese athletes had climbed on the podium. In that edition, held in Ostrava in the Czech Republic, he was imposed Yukina Ota who got the better of Miki Ando and Carolina Kostner. The Russian skaters, instead, for the first time back in 2006 dall''ormai will return home without world titles as & egrave; unlikely that one of the dance couples can get on pi & ugrave step; top of the podium.
