In accordance with the prediction on the eve of the segment of the race was dominated by the Russians Yankovskaya / Mozgov (61,79), already winners of the stage of Kosice. Students of the team headed by Svetlana Alexeeva and Elena Kustarova (mother and daughter), best technical score of the day and on each item of the program components, improved their season record of missing the personal category (Hawayek / Baker, 62, 58, Gdansk) for less than a point, not the highest levels accomplices on the sequences of quick-step on the midline and no-touch.
The fight for second place, with wide separation from the head, it is particularly tight and coninvolge four pairs, three of which are still in the fight to conquer the last place'''' s useful for the final in Fukuoka, but only with a real possibilities.
'' For now, the Americans have checked Moore / Klaber (53,79), which, however, less than an unlikely victory'','' still in the running for the final act of the Grand Prix only for mathematics. In fact, students of Pasquale Camerlengo would need to increase to nearly 89.71 in the free dance, hoping that the Ukrainians Nazarova / Nikitin remain detached at the end of the race of 11.31 points or alternatively do not reach third. Opponents aside, 89.71 is a score at the time, not within the reach of the current pair juniors.
The lowest step of the provisional podium is occupied by the Russians Morozova / Zhirnov (53.73), forced to earn at least one position to hope in unlikely'' to the final. However, to be the game in Fukuoka will have to score at least 85.04 points in the free dance, as well as inflict a gap of at least 6.58 lengths to Ukrainians Nazarova / Nikitin. As for Moore / Kleber's chances for students of Alexander Svinin are almost zero.
There remain, however, still fully in the race to reach the final Nazarova Ukrainians / Nikitin (51,89), today only quarters, but veterans of the valuable place of honor'' captured in Gdansk. The pair coached by Alexander Zhulin reach the mathematical certainty of qualification finishing the race instead of Tallinn'' s honor or third coming with a free 80.30 points.
Overall, all the athletes have shown, more or less, difficulties in the sequences of quick-step, as evidenced by a few levels three and assigned by'' only four level reached by the Canadian Delmasestro / Lum (50.76 ), fifth classified. In particular, to create trouble at all was the second sequence of quick-step in which the couple also Canadian, which includes the daughter of Bruno Delmaestro, has not gone beyond level two.
