In the men's short program, scoring & more ugrave; up & egrave; was obtained from Alexander Petrov (70,74), favored the eve but have never been on the step pi & ugrave; top of the podium in a stage of Grand Prix.
L & rsquo; student of Alexei Mishin claiming the superiority & agrave; technique compared to the competition, the result is substantially the mastery of the triple axel, but compared to the usual, & egrave; was less punctual on other elements, see, in particular, the combination triple flip / triple toe loop landed with a step-out. & nbsp;
The qundicenne St. Petersburg preceded by more than four lengths the Japanese Sota Yamamoto (66,42), penalized by a bad fall on the triple axel, faced with little speed & agrave; and correctly downgraded to double by the technical panel. The fourteen year old student of Hiroshi Nagakubo still has edited the record and personal & egrave; afforded the luxury to exceed the sum of the components of the program pi & ugrave; Listed Russian.
In the end, both Petrov Yamamoto, both of seconds in the previous efforts of the season, with a win would earn l & rsquo; access to the final, while a different result might overly complicate the situation, especially for the & rsquo; athlete Japanese.
In third place is & egrave; certificate, the seventeen year old Chinese Zhang He (66,08), remained behind, despite a flawless program, for the choice of presenting the double axel.
Following you & egrave; placed the child d & rsquo; American art Torgashev Andrew (64,70), which is promising thirteen & egrave; had the satisfaction, only one of the twenty-six athletes fell on the ice, to get the maximum level available on each of the elements of top.
It should be noted as the difference in scores between the top four was purely technical as on the front of the program components scissor & egrave; remained on the & rsquo; point order.
& Nbsp;
All second prediction also between the pairs of art, with the expected Maria Vigalova / Egor Zakroev (54.32), who had easily because of the less qualified competition. The titrated pair of Perm, in the second Junior Grand Prix Final last season as well & eacute; third in the World Championships category, has seen both the best response in each component of the program that the technical score pi & ugrave; high, despite some heartache too on the double lutz. In this regard, it should be for & ograve; emphasized as the only Czech Duskova / Bidar, tenths in the segment of the race, they were able to perform the & rsquo; component properly with much of the outer edge of the case.
The second place & egrave; Renata went to the Ukrainians Oganseain / Mark Bardei (49,09), fresh winners of the recent junior Lombardy Trophy with a score that would guarantee them second place in the senior race. & nbsp; Students of Lilia Batutina, making its debut in the circuit, revealed a & rsquo; interesting solidity & agrave; Technical unleashing a triple twist worthy of pairs of top of the senior class.
The Russians Gainetdinova / Alexeev (46,30), gi & agrave; in the third stage of Ostrava, are currently in third place in the penalized & rsquo; during the fall of Kamilla Gainetdinova on trying to double lutz with both arms raised. The pair recently formed, coached by Stanislav Morozov, preceded the Japanese Canadian school Ami Koga / Francois Audet Boudreau (45,05), the real surprise of the race. Students of Richard Gauthier, moreover gi & agrave; eligible for the senior competitions, revealed his capacity as agrave; on the triple Rittberger launched on lifting compulsory (group four) and in general the elements of the pair doing to revive the memory of Takahashi / Tran, said the association flag of Japan, which boasted the same origins, the same coaching staff, but certainly not a triple Rittberger launched.
The pair composed of Italian and Bianca Manacorda Niccol & ograve; Macii (40.66) got a pi & ugrave; that discrete sixth place, penalized by & rsquo; regulatory obligation to do elements that are not part of the & rsquo; Current & nbsp; technical background. Ci & ograve; Accordingly, as has happened in recent Lombardy Trophy, the boys stationed in Sesto San Giovanni you are left to appreciate for the & rsquo; execution of the lift and the shaft torque, going closer to completing the triple Rittberger launched today closed with a step-out. The junior national champions, however, have preceded the four North American pairs entered in the race, did not banal to the Italian movement.
It goes without s & eacute ;, that the scores in the short program today does not reflect the real value of the athletes took to the ice as l & rsquo; obligation to perform the triple Rittberger launched and the lutz double or triple in parallel remains a burden for consideration to be paid for almost all. In particular, as regards Manacorda / Macii is explained precisely cos & igrave; the score difference compared to the game played on home ice a few days ago (basically double flip and triple flip launched in parallel, performed well in the Lombardy Trophy, were substitutes for the items listed above).
& Nbsp;
In the women, Russian Maria Sotskova (52,06), winner of last season's final, you & egrave; had to settle for second place clearly preceded by the Japanese Rin Nataya (57,85), gi & agrave; in the second stage of Courchevel.
The seventeen year old Nagoya, author by far the best technical score, took advantage of the black day for all of the major opponents, who pi & ugrave; in some less obvious distress on the elements of jump.
Nitaya, in particular, has had the merit of performing a combination triple toe loop / triple toe loop well made and virtually unscathed triple lutz, located in the second half & agrave; music with the & rsquo; goal of nibbling some point, but not preceded by a required step.
The fourteen Sotskova, physically grown compared to last season, & egrave; fall into ruin on the attempted combination triple flip / triple toe loop, seeing degrade the double toe loop. In addition, from the first to the & rsquo; last second, he gave the & rsquo; impression of being focused only on the & rsquo; element of the case, probably complicit in the many physical problems had in recent times.
In third place is & egrave; placed the seventeen year old Japanese Miyu Nakashio (51,81), which preceded the Russian Alsou Kayumova (51,06), penalized by a double lutz instead of & eacute; triple, the American Amber Glenn (49,66), which did not perform the double axel after landed with clear step-out is the combination of triple flip / triple toe loop that triple lutz preceded by the step, and the Latvian Angelina Kuchvalska (49 , 21), able to retouch the Latvian national record.
& Nbsp;
The Tallinn Cup will take forward & agrave; tomorrow with the short-dance and free programs of art and pairs of male sector.
