The ranking does not have to & ograve; He spared no surprises as the best of the day & egrave; was the novice & nbsp; Alisa Fedichkina, thirteen stationed in St. Petersburg held last season fourth among Russian girls not yet in agrave & et; juniors behind Tsurskaya, Gubanova and Nugumanova.
The young student Evgeni Rukavitsin has revealed a good safety elements jump in presenting an opening double axel preceded by the moon and placing in the second half & agrave; music combination triple lutz / triple toe loop and a triple flip preceded by step. The jumps, not notable for height and width, were characterized by speed un''elevata & agrave; of rotation. Fedichkina, flawless even on elements of spinning top, has created a vacuum on the technical side of almost seven tenths ahead of the pi & ugrave; sailed compatriot Maria Sotskova, on paper the main favorite for the final success. Fifteen Moscow, nell''occasione able to retouch the personal best, he has stolen the 'eye proving, unlike dell''anno past, now in condition and claiming a greater maturity & agrave; interpretation compared to the opponent. Best of the day on each item of the program components, the winner of the final of 2013 has performed in an exemplary manner and the combination triple lutz / triple toe loop that the triple flip, placed in the second half & agrave; disk, but, as usual, he has paid the price for a double axel not exceptional and botched flying sit on top.
In third place, with a gap from the top to the next five points, you & egrave; He attested fifteen Japanese Kaori Sakamoto, author of a total performance of quality & agrave ;, but suffers from the usual problems on the triple lutz, taken from un''evidente inner wire.

Both economies have, however, improved their personal best by presenting the same technical content of Russian girls.
The 'waiting Yuna Japanese Aoki, novice national champion in office, you & egrave ;, however, had to settle for the fifth coin, thanks to a step-load sull''axel open in flight and completed only single. The thirteen year old Yokohama City has lost the opportunity trivially & agrave; to go and place behind the Russian, but he deserved the applause of the limited audience of Riga for the perfect execution of the combination triple lutz / triple Rittberger, by far the 'element of greater value accomplished back in the race.
Next, you & egrave; He placed the sixteen year old American Amber Glenn, suffering from a bad fall on the triple lutz, which preceded the 'Ukrainian Anastasia Gozhva, thirteen Ukrainian author of a program more & ugrave; simple compared to those who 'predecessor, but performed without any burring.
