The segment of the race & egrave; been dominated by Russians Maria Vigalova favorites / Egor Zakroev (57.83), substantially involved in a confrontation at a distance with the Canadian Seguin / Bilodeau and fellow Fedorova / Miroshkin. In the end, the performance of the pair of Perm, gi & agrave; clear winner of the stage of Tallinn, & egrave; was & Outdoors, height of the rivals to the ultimate success in the circuit and & egrave; earned them a new personal record as well & eacute; the second performance of the season behind Seguin / Bilodeau.
Students of Valentina Tiukova have placed a serious claim on the third successful career in qualifying stages of the Grand Prix race is dominating the segment on the technical side than on the components of the program. L & rsquo; single barb has again covered the input wire of the double lutz of Vigalova, but the problem seems to be solved. In any case, should be highlighted the quality & agrave; execution of the rest of the elements, in particular triple twist and triple Rittberger launched.
L & rsquo; crowded fight for the second position has now awarded to young Russians Daria Beklemisheva / Maxim Bobrov (50,29), are able to improve by five lengths with respect to race held in Dresden last week. Coached by Artur Dmitriev in Moscow and together only by the end of spring, Beklemisheva / Bobrov have now demonstrated a & rsquo; interesting solidity & agrave; technique demonstrated by which they are already familiar with & agrave; able to perform triple twist and lifting of group three. As for the race today, it is still & nbsp; & rsquo a bit; of regret for the & rsquo; landing & ldquo; stuttering & rdquo; triple Rittberger launched, but the whole thing & egrave; well mitigated by the concrete possibilities & agrave; to win to qualify for the final.
Despite two falls, the American people can smile even Chelsea Liu / Brian Johnson (47.55) and third in the race to fully access the & rsquo; concluding act of Barcelona. Students of Todd Sand, in fact together a few months, they have improved the score in Dresden few days ago alternating elements of quality & agrave ;, species triple twist and lift mandatory group three, steps to empty the Rittberger launched and on the double lutz in parallel.
In fourth place, are the Japanese Canadian school Ami Koga / Francois Boudreau-Audet (45,54), penalized by the need of the competition & agrave; to present a double twist instead of & eacute; triple.
The expected Ukrainians Renata Oganseian / Mark Bardei (44,11), on paper still in the running for the & rsquo; access to the final, they instead had to settle for a disappointing seventh position preceded by the Russian Maria Chuzanova / Denis Mintsev (45,30 ) and the Canadian Mary Orr / Phelan Simpson (45,20). Specifically, the winners of the Lombardy Trophy junior have paid duty because of the problems in the output stage of the lifting unit for three landing a triple Rittberger launched with both hands on the ice.
The Blues White Manacorda / Niccol & ograve; Macii (39,51) have closed the segment of the race in tenth position in confirming their ease of lifting and group three elements of torque. However, as has happened in the stage of Tallinn, lost ground to the burrs on the double lutz in parallel and for the & rsquo; landing with step-out triple Rittberger launched.
In the light of the standings today, Vigalova / Zakroev, Bekelmisheva / Bobrov and Liu / Johnson would reach the final in the Canadian Seguin / Bilodeau and Russian couples Fedorova / Miroshkin and Gainetdinova / Alexeev. However, there are still cut off the Japanese Koga / Boudreau-Audet, called for & ograve; to recover positions in the free program that disputer & agrave; tomorrow, from 14:30.
