Wakaba Higuchi rule measure Pervushkina Diana, open struggle for the final

The opening day dell''ultimo appointment qualification of Junior Grand Prix circuit, hosted by the "Dom Sportova" of Zagreb, is & egrave; It ended with the 'expected program short female.

The attention of the public and experts were addressed exclusively on Marin Honda, Wakaba Higuchi and Diana Pervushkina, still in the race to reach the final in Barcelona. The 'balance reigned supreme and the end & egrave; He won the Japanese Higuchi, who ruled for only twenty-five basis points the Russian Pervushkina while compatriot Honda contained the gap in less than three points. However, in light of the conditions of the race, the better to frame the current situation would be enough to say that between the two litigants the third enjoys. In fact, if on the one hand Honda, which just a third place to reach the final, can & ograve; sleep soundly, pressure & egrave; on the shoulders of the first two Ranked obliged to win to earn the trip towards Barcelona. Moreover, the 'analysis of the scores today does not allow launching into predictions as Honda & egrave; It was the best of each item of the program components, but, because of a double flip instead & egrave; triple, & egrave; It was the worst of the three on the technical side. Higuchi, instead, got, although among some controversy, the best technical response, but has paid the price than the two opponents on the components of the program. Pervushkina, for its part, is & egrave; placed in the middle in both cases. Ci & ograve; Accordingly, the voltage & egrave; It seemed evident for all three protagonists, authors of performance overall convincing, but after a few steps here and the vacuum & agrave ;. Dell''errore said Honda, the most & ugrave; serious in terms of points lost, Higuchi had to stick to a triple lutz double toe loop instead & egrave; triple and the triple flip preceded by the step has left huge doubts about the input wire, while Pervushkina, who performed all the jumps wagered with one arm raised, has rotated the triple toe loop-closing of the combination opened by a triple lutz. & nbsp; Obviously, the result more & ugrave; surprising is that of Diana Pervushkina, which, in the summer should not have taken part in the circuit, but & egrave; He was then selected to replace the pi & ugrave; listed countrymen Sakhanovich and Proklova. In this regard, one can not point out the obvious improvements made manifest since he left his native Togliatti and moved to St. Petersburg at the school Evgeni Rukavitsin, absent in Zagreb and now coach also Serafima Sakhanovich. As regards, however, the Japanese, struggling with a rivalry & agrave; which has deep roots, the construction of the program as well & egrave; the musical choice of Honda have seemed decidedly more & ugrave; convincing. Mambo Higuchi, in fact, continues to generate some doubts and 'impression & egrave; that this is not the issue more & ugrave; suitable for enhancing the quality & agrave; the skater, occasionally mechanical movements and almost spesata.Alle shoulders of the three claimants to the final, you & egrave; placed
