World Junior Championships, Russia dominates the short female with Radionova, Sakhanovic and Medvedeva. Miyahara also shines

During the third day of the World Junior Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria, was held the first segment of the race for the women's competition, which Analogously to the men's short program was held during the'' period of several hours. , only the first 24 out of 42 athletes enrolled, in fact, have had the chance to qualify for the free program.

At the command of the race are still a hat-trick of home with Elena Radionova Russia, well-known face of the grand prix this season, currently in first place with a score of 66.90, slightly lower than his personal best. '' The pupil Goncharenko presented at the opening of the program a triple lutz-triple toe loop combination perfectly executed, and then complete steps and spins four level. In the second part of the disc, however, Elena presented the double axel and triple loop, elements required by regulation. In second place with more than two steps away is the'' waiting Serafima Sakhanovic (64.65), the debut in the World Championship event. The fourteen-year St. Petersburg has instead proposed at the beginning of the program a top inverted and the sequence of steps, both of Level Four, and then run in the second half of the year'' elements including the combination triple jump flip-triple toe loop. Slightly lower than the fellow, however, the degrees of execution of the elements, however, all very high, as well as the score of the components of the screening program. The heels in third position, Evgenia Medvedeva (63.72), which offers a very similar technical content, but without reaching the level four on the sequence of steps. Much appreciated the presentation of the skater's pupil Tutberidze, which in fact recorded a highest score of Sakhanovic right on the components of the program. In fourth place, a beautiful Satoko Miyahara (63.57) which is not too distanced from Russian colleagues. Performed with the elements of fluency jump with a beautiful triple lutz-triple toe loop combination, Satoko has reached the level four on all remaining technical elements, however, only stopping at 25.73 components of the program. Especially the choice to insert two spins in opposite directions of rotation towards the end of the program for the combined top gear foot, which is particularly difficult to perform and that is rarely seen in competition, but that is one of the so-called "difficut variations" necessary for the achievement of level four. It is distinct, though not among the last groups of skating down the ice, the U.S. Amber Glenn, currently fifth with 56.58'' thanks to a good triple flip-triple toe loop combination. Sixth Only compatriot Karen Chen (56.09), gold in the Slovak grand prix this season, which offers triple lutz-double toe loop but then misses the loop, but with triple landing on two feet and step out. In seventh place an'' imperfect Chartrand (54.68), which falls on the combination while brilliant was the Finnish Saarinen (53.76): the fifteen-year Tampere is currently in eighth place. Rounding out the top ten of the U.S. and South Korea's Choi Pierce. Bad day for Guia Tagliapietra (39.21) that ends the race in 30th place without being able to qualify for the final. Two major mistakes n this program, the first on the lutz combination, that Guia does not complete due to a step out on the jump landed on two feet, and that fact is degraded, and the same error is repeated on the triple loop attempt. '' The student Romina Poles, however, has achieved the level of all four spinning tops and even on the difficult sequence of steps, characteristic only of the athletes of the highest level. Perhaps for the Italian junior champion would have benefited from more experience at international level, whereas the'' athlete here has improved his personal best despite the serious mistakes: a sign that the potential of the'' athlete may easily exceed the score today. Later, at 18 hours Italian, the free program will take place for couples to dance, isu visible streamed on the site. Junior Ladies - Short Program Result Details Pl Qual.
