Only in the Grand Prix, so without considering the & rsquo; ISU Challenger Series, five girls have gone beyond the threshold valicandola qualified for a total of nine times. These numbers assume for & ograve; even more relevant when you consider that, analyzing what happened in the past editions, scores over two hundred were only six with four athletes involved.
The reasons for the exponential growth in the pipeline are manifold. First, not only & egrave; become habitual perform two double axel and seven triple jumps, but & egrave; increased quality & agrave; in which each branch is & ldquo; & rdquo ;. packed Consequently, c & rsquo; & egrave; It was a & rsquo; soaring important degree of execution, for the truth & agrave; also it concerns steps and spins. Second, the ratings on each item of the program components have risen dramatically to the point that athletes of medium-high level stationed now frequently well beyond the & rsquo; eight medium stakes in some cases close to or above nine.
Between eleven skaters in business & agrave; capable career to get at least two hundred points in top-level events or similar, apart Kostner who has not yet played games, the only ones to not be successful in the current season are Russian Julia Lipnitskaia and Japan's Mao Asada, who & ograve; no & egrave; gone away.
In this scenario, it is clear that as more and more & ugrave; athletes will have to resort to trying to raise the level of & rsquo; crossbar on the technical side to try to gain ground or fill any gap. In this sense, they should interpret the statements of Alexei Mishin related to the need & agrave; Elizaveta Tuktamysheva to enter a second triple axel in the free programs of the future. & nbsp; Similarly, it explains the willingness & agrave; Mao Asada short program to run in the four triple jumps of greater value. Not surprisingly, more and more & ugrave; athletes are training the triple axel, and some see the Canadian Alaine Chartrand & egrave; gi & agrave; He got to present it in the race, although the results are not exceptional. & nbsp; Everything is silent, however, on the front of the quadruple jumps, but also in this case not & egrave; possible that between now and 2018 will see toeloop & nbsp; and salchow with clear advantage in terms of basic value and possibly also for the degree of execution. In fact, triple axel and quadruple jumps, as well as having a value far higher than other triple jumps, can generate when they are well run a small advantage in the degree of execution that can & ograve; up to 3 points against 2.1 of the other triple jumps.
In Barcelona, ​​the record holder seasonal Evgenia Medvedeva has approached the feedback received in the last Olympic Games by compatriot Adelina Sotnikova surclassandola in both segments of the race on the technical side, an accomplice, as regards the free program, the & rsquo; increase in the value of the triple toe loop and triple salchow than in the recent past. Ci & ograve; Accordingly, right in the final segment of the race & rsquo; student of Ethers Tutberdize clocked the fourth score of the history (147.96) placing behind Yu-Na Kim (148.34 and 150.06) and Adelina Sotnikova (149 , 95), the only ones capable of overcoming the previously ducentoventi points.
Medvedeva aside, other & ldquo; & rdquo ;, duecentelliste have improved significantly their personal best. The list includes, in fact, Anna Pogorilaya and elena radionova, scollinate ducentodieci over quota, but also Satoko Miyahara and Ashley Wagner.
In virt & ugrave; the current situation, it is difficult to assume from here on ISU Championships medalists in the senior class with less than two hundred points, unless collective disasters.
