The segment of the race & egrave; was dominated with proportions well beyond expectations by American Nathan Chen, who had easily because of Japanese Sota Yamamoto, on paper one of the favorites for the final victory.
Compared to the past, the sixteen year old trained by Rafael Arutunian has unsheathed a triple axel quality & agrave ;, which allowed him to create a vacuum on the technical side. Impeccable as usual on combination triple lutz and triple flip / triple toe loop, elements performed in the second half & agrave; music, has, however, strangely, left on the plate several points due to levels not all''altezza on spinners. Chen, took to the track to the tune of a medley of Michael Jackson & egrave; It was the best of the day with even margin on each item of the program components, and especially after three long years & egrave; He managed to touch the personal best. & nbsp;
For many, considering that the young American & egrave; also in possession of the quadruple toe loop, it remains the regret of not being able to see all''opera in the senior version of the Grand Prix, where he could play an important role. Ci & ograve; Accordingly, a testimony to the value dell''atleta, & egrave; just remember how the previous best performance of the season, held by the Latvian Vasiljevs, was under sixty points.
The 'expected Yamamoto, betrayed by a step-load sull''axel open in flight and completed only single, has accumulated twelve lengths of delay, ten of which attributable to the lack of the triple axel. Fifteen stationed in Nagoya has performed the rest of the elements without particular worries, subject to a reporting of suspicious wire on the triple flip that left some doubt considering that the problems in the past have focused mainly on the lutz. Technical aspect aside, the new short program, choreographed by Kenji Miyamoto on the notes of the poet Vincente Amigo, & egrave; seemed still being tested, without forgetting that it is not easy for a skater cos & Igrave; young confuse this the best a flamenco theme used in the past by authentic totem of discipline among them Stephane Lambiel.
After a tight battle on the edge of tenths, the third & egrave; He went to the landlord Anthony Bocuher, which, at almost nineteen, had the 'honor to debut in the CITY where & egrave; used to train. The "veteran" of the original Colorado preceded the seventeen year old Ukrainian Yaroslav Paniot, the only addition to Chen to have successfully carried out the triple axel as well & egrave; that stands out for triple flip and triple lutz performed with both arms raised. In virt & ugrave; detachments tight to Boucher, remain in contention for the podium olds Daniil Bernadiner and Tomoki Hiwatashi, the first Russian and the US the second, which, surprise, they had the better of the quoted seventeen Israeli Daniel Samohin, betrayed by a fall on the triple axel and a triple flip atterratto with an obvious step-out and taken from a wire not internal.
The free program, which will be held & agrave; night in Italian, to be particularly interesting in that at least four athletes lesineranno the 'use of quadruple jumps, but not & egrave; except that the company can expand.
