Veterans Canadians have snatched the record seasonal to US Chock / Bates, but especially for quarters in history have managed to cross the & rsquo; ambitious threshold of one hundred and eighty points, it has not made any level on four different types of sequences of steps.
From the analytical study of the scores achieved in Barcelona, ​​emerges with arrogance as the actual gear change has taken place in the free dance reached almost the one hundred and ten lengths (109.80), reflected in the past exceeded only by Davis / White (12 times), Virtue / Moir (7 times), Ilinykh / Katsalapov (on one occasion). The figure & egrave; really important especially if you think that between opponents this season, no one in career & egrave; pushed over one hundred and six points.
Even on the short-dance, no pair in business & agrave; has ever achieved a score pi & ugrave; higher than that obtained by Weaver / Poje in the final of the Grand Prix, but in this case the margin & egrave; however minor and some couples were able to score or technical feedback on program components pi & ugrave; high. It remains true that, Canadians apart, the only Russian Bobrova / Soloviev broke the threshold of seventy points in the segment of the race.
It should be noted that, in the current season, twelve couples have already & agrave; reached one hundred and fifty points, that's never happened in the autumn, without forgetting that eleven of the twelve associations concerned improved their personal best. In this regard, the fact of taking into account the scores of the circuit ISU Challenger Series has certainly played a key role, but globally for all you & egrave; been a significant growth of each item of the program components, not always for & ograve; supported by a technical progress.
Reading between the lines, l & rsquo; impression, except for occasional exceptions, & egrave; that you want to focus to a greater extent the artistic component than technical. However, sar & agrave; wait fundamental commitments pi & ugrave; important of the season for making a definite judgment. It & rsquo; clear that & rsquo; absence of dominating pairs of & rsquo; last five years has left ample room for maneuver to the judging panels, which have begun to look with different eyes and probably more & ugrave; benevolent who until a few months ago was part of the group of second lines.
