In the free dance, skating to a thousand all''ora the tune of a medley of Elvis Presley, students of Barbara Fusar Poli and Stefano Caruso allowed themselves the luxury of overcoming the technical minimum to take part in the World Cup with a lot of senior small recrimination for a couple of points lost trivially on top.
