In absentia of Chinese Pang / Tong, retired from racing at the end of last season, the Russians Yuko Kavaguti / Alexander Smirnov have become the couple of the most artistic & ugrave; "Seasoned" still in business & agrave ;.
Monday 19 October 2015 12 minutes reading time
Smirnov, once nicknamed "Tarzan" to the athleticism and the willingness to show their breasts on the track, has, in fact, made thirty-one springs from a few days, while Kavaguti, born and raised in competitions in Japan, festegger & agrave; in November, the thirty-fourth birthday.
Together since away in May 2006 by the will & agrave; Tamara Moskvina, celebrated the 'entry in the tenth season side by side in developing its new personal best, set in Mordovian Ornament played in Saransk at the end of last week.
In truth & agrave ;, the improvement on the past & egrave; nell''ordine been a few tenths, but still significant because the old record by far resisted January 2010, when Kavaguti / Smirnov won the first European title of his career. Moreover, at the time, the short program could count on an item in more & ugrave; than it is now.
Intentions "warlike" of Russian couple are deduced by observing the construction of the free program, which, although still skated on the same music used in the past season (Manfred Symphony by Tchaikovsky), has a different choreography to allow the 'inclusion of the quadruple Rittberger launched. In fact, one of the objectives of the next few months & egrave; to be able to present both the quadruple salchow launched the quad Rittberger launched.
Numbers in hand, & nbsp; improved performance of the Mordovian Ornament & egrave; arrived in the short program. Nell''occasione, the couple's room in St. Petersburg & egrave; stood at 76.02, score exceeded in the past by just Volosozhar / Trankov (84.17), Savchenko / Szolkowy (79.64), Duhamel / Radford (77.01) and Stolbova / Klimov (76,15).

Ci & ograve; Accordingly, it is always difficult to make comparisons between different seasons because a few mandatory elements of the short program vary from year to year (lifting and death spiral) assuming a base value differently depending on the difficulty & agrave ;.
