The fourteen year old Russian & egrave; easily sets in both segments of the race, reaching nearly 190 points and allowing himself the luxury of rewriting the record books. Previously, in fact, never a skater to debut in the Junior Grand Prix was over scollinata portion 180, considering that the record belonged to Adelina Sotnikova, which stood in & rsquo; now distant 2010 in 178.97.
On balance, the & rsquo; student of Ethers Tutberidze has also missed the world record in a junior race for less than five points, but it must be said that elena radionova, current holder of the record, reached € 194.29 at the end of the second season junior category. Moreover, to date, in a qualifying round of the Junior Grand Prix, the & rsquo; only to boast high scores & egrave; Serafima Sakhanovich (66.58 short, free, 125.38, 191.96 total).
The 'impact of Tsurskaya & egrave; It was devastating because it did not reveal any weaknesses, as demonstrated by the best technical feedback and evaluations pi & ugrave; high on each item of the program components. Safe on the jumps, characterized by considerable height and width, accurate information on the spins, shining on the steps, the teen room in Moscow has revealed a quality & agrave; Skating foreground not skimping transitional passages of varying difficulty & agrave ;. To want to try the hair nell''uovo, the 'unpublished short program & egrave; seemed altogether more & ugrave; Rich & gi agrave; run-free program, skated to pi & ugrave; shooting last season. It goes to & ograve; recalled how in the segment pi & ugrave; long race have been performed in absolute fluency two double axel and seven triple jumps, including two combinations containing triple lutz and triple toe loop. Moreover, six of the seven jump elements were placed in the second half & agrave; music, reflecting an impeccable physical condition.
In second place, with a gap of ten points overall, you & egrave; Never placed a convincing Japanese Mihara, able to crumble the previous personal best thanks to a free program that has well completed two double axel and seven triple jumps, including two triple lutz. Fifteen of Kobe, which first dell''inizio circuit was considered the fifth force set within the Japanese team, you & egrave; cos & Igrave; guaranteed to have a second leg of the Grand Prix and probably potr & agrave; fight for the 'access to the final.
On the step pi & ugrave; the bottom of the podium & egrave; attested the novice Vivian The US, instead of 'honor at the end of the first segment of the race. Even in the free program, the Texan is fifteen & egrave; confirmed at ease focused on triple jumps, especially the triple lutz ambeude performed with arms raised, but had to raise badiera white face of rivals because of the non-mastery of jumps taken by the wire. In fact, apart from a bad fall on the triple Rittberger, leaps all''occhio the choice not to have introduced triple salchow, inevitably replaced by a double lutz. In any case, the progress of Le appeared significant than in the past and represent un''importante breath of 'oxygen for the movement of stars and stripes clearly outclassed by Russia and Japan in recent years.
The fourth & egrave; He went to the Japanese sailed Rin Nitaya, which preceded the Russian Valeria Mikhailova thirteen and eighteen year old American Emily Chan, to debut in the circuit despite the 'et & agrave;. & nbsp;
From Bratislava came important indications for the Italian movement. The fourteen Lucrezia Gennaro, engaged in first international junior career, has filed a flattering seventh place, with the satisfaction of having recorded the fifth technical score in the free program. The 'student of Ludmila Mladenova, after falling on an attempted triple lutz the complete rotation, has completed two double axel and four triple jumps, confirming handling without heartache all the jumps taken by the wire. Moreover, as in the short program, the spinners have got the level & more ugrave; High available. In particular, it hits the stubbornness & agrave; Girl, archived fall, & egrave; piece remained on fighting for every jump and being able to execute everything that had been planned at the table.
On the sidelines, it should be noted as Gennaro has now exceeded the technical limit imposed by the international federation to take part in the World Championships, which for & ograve; no potr & agrave; participate before 2018. The Italian junior champion also had the merit to put behind decidedly athletes listed among which the thirteen Korean So Hyun An, gi & agrave; hired dall''agenzia management that follows the interests of Yu Na Kim and Denis Ten, almost fourteen Ukrainian Kim Cheremsky and the next nineteen German Nicole Schott, nell''ultima ninth edition of the European Championships.
