The first temporary position is occupied by Joshua Farris, realizing his personal best in 75.84, has distanced teammates Shotaro Omori and Jason Brown more than five points for a hat-trick with stars and stripes in the segment of the race.
The student Christy Krall and Damon Allen (class 95) completed the most of both triple Axel that the combination triple Lutz / triple toe loop despite the problems we had in the morning in the heating of these two elements. Slightly soiled landing on the triple flip preceded by a step very challenging. The American, based in Colorado Springs, he played the best notes Prelude in G Major for Cello Yo-Yo Ma getting the best score even in those parts of the program with 34.39 points.
Second place for Shotaro Omori, athlete with clear Asian origin, who made 70.82 points thanks to a second technical score after making the most of all three elements of jump program. The young American, coached by Tammy Gambill, skated to the tune of Miss Tango but has revealed a lack of artistic maturity losing ground in components than the most quoted friend and rival.
To complete the provisional podium Jason Brown who completed the program with 70.06 points. For the winner of the Junior Grand Prix Final 2012 there were some imperfections on a technical level species on the combination triple Lutz / double-triple toe loop completed only after a period of retraction of landing of the first jump is not too happy and committing a slight imperfection in ' entry in the top foot with change made in the final test. For him 36.62 points in the technical segment, the result of a triple Axel and a very clean Flip, triple, excellent quality. The components of the program, always dish of the house, he posted the best score of the day with a lead over the rest of the competition.
Historical fourth place for the Filipino Michael Christian Martinez, who starred in the recent Four Continents Osaka, who skated a clean program and well remodeled his staff made a few weeks ago, reaching 67.01 points despite not possess the combination with two triples. The distance from the medals is about three points, so still in the running to give a historic achievement for a country with little tradition on the ice.
Provisional fifth place for the young Russian, born 1998 Alexander Samarin who has completed the most of all the elements of jump program. Remarkable combination triple Lutz / triple toe loop by applause as well as the triple flip. Sin as having submitted the double Axel and triple, but at that age are few athletes able to run it without any problems. Discreet her performance where she showed obvious limits of youth.
In sixth place we find the Chinese Jin boyang with 62.82 which pays a fall on the Flip that preceded the first Japanese in the race Shoma Uno (61.66) who put on ice in the usual quality spinners and components but paid duty on the technical score due to a double Axel run only with step out.
Disappoint one of the favorites on the eve Ryuju Hino, Japanese junior champion in charge, who has paid the Lutz made a lot simpler in combination with the triple toe loop, resulting in -3 points in the technical and the triple flip broken rotated. I therefore put it achieved 57.71 points to almost 20 points from the lead of the race and away from the positions that count.
Performance Yachts for Antonio undertone that still qualified for the long program having completed the test in twenty-fourth position with a score of 46.02. The nineteen year old Venetian fifth to the last Italian Championship in the Senior category, for instance in Turin under the technical guidance of Claudia Masoero and Edoardo De Bernardis, who also took part choreography performed a program with a number of mistakes involving elements such as jump the combination triple Salchow - double toe loop where he put his hand on the ice in both landings and committing step out on the double Axel is that on the triple flip preceded by hand. Who performed the tune of the soundtrack of Casanova has however shown a good choreographic expressiveness accompanied by a fair interpretation that allowed him to earn 24.83 points in the components of the program.
Recall that the short program at the junior level is expected that between the seven elements of the program, including three leap, to run the Flip mandatory, not in combination that can not be repeated. It is therefore almost mandatory execution of the triple Lutz in combination of the big companies in order to obtain a technical score of thickness.
Fell on the ice 37 athletes representing 31 nations, but only the first 24 will access the Free scheduled for Saturday at 13.00.

Scheib rientra in Europa dopo 29 giorni tra Argentina e Cile: Un lavoro molto buono. Sarà lei la favorita a Soelden
La detentrice della Coppa del Mondo di gigante, che proprio dall'opening sul Rettenbach ha iniziato a costruire lo scorso anno quel trionfo, ha diviso a metà il lavoro tra focus sulla sua disciplina a Ushuaia e poi velocità sulle nevi cilene pensando al super-g. Rifinitura a Pitztal e poi direttamente a Soelden, il set-up finale lo definiremo in quel momento.
