The students of Irina Zhuk and Alexander Svinin danced the exercise of a new arrangement of the best performing Bolero an open program of the sequence of Twizzle excellently executed, embellished lifting of good caliber if you exclude the one curve. Very nice sequence of steps resulting circular applause the best pair in both the technical score in both program components and close to a memorable season best closed by absolute rulers.
Evidence of the ill-fated couple transalpine Gabriella Papadakis / Guillaume Cizeron heavily affected by the accident suffered by the beautiful Gabriella in heating before the race that still has not prevented them from making a free of 81.68 points. For them get a well deserved silver. The exercise was, however, of great value despite the interruption in the middle of the program for the excessive pain he has caused even a small mistake on Twizzle. The two get along well have displayed great maturity and expressive technique and gave us a glimpse a very high potential.
