Specifically, to make up for all & rsquo; elimination of a lift, the international federation has decided to increase the value of each item. Therefore, each level of twizzles, the spinner and the sequence of steps in pairs (diagonal, circle, midline, serpentine) & egrave; was increased by six-tenths of a point, cos & igrave; as the level of each lift & egrave; increased by half a point. In addition, to complete the & rsquo; work, starting this season, & egrave; been attributed to each pair the faculty & agrave; instead of making & eacute; a choreographic lift, the present value 0.3 (up to 0.2 last season), a top choreographic worth 0.6 points. On balance, the program technically perfect, I mean that skated by Davis / White and Virtue / Moir at the last Olympic Games, & egrave; passed by a & ldquo; based TES & rdquo; of 43.20 to a & ldquo; based TES & rdquo; 43.50. However, to maintain homogeneity & agrave; with scores of overall race of the past, even small changes were made to the values ​​of the elements typical of the short-dance. In fact, if on one hand the value of the sequences of steps in parallel (midline and circle) & egrave; rose six-tenths level, the value of the two sequences of patterns & egrave; decreased by one point per level. Moreover, one of the two sequences of patterns & egrave; been replaced by a creative sequence pattern on the theme of dance (for the paso doble this season). The short-dance technically perfect, I mean that from skating Davis / White during the recent Olympic Games (& hellip; but also by Cappellini / Lanotte in the last edition of Skate America), & egrave; dropped from a & ldquo; based TES & rdquo; 32 points in a & ldquo; based TES & rdquo; 31.7. In summary, although with small oscillations between short-dance and free dance, the highest & ldquo; based TES & rdquo; reached during a race & egrave; was of 71.50 points.
