However, with respect to regulation by the Fed disclosed in summer international ones are progressively failed the criteria to be used to make any substitutions or in some case you & egrave; used one & rsquo; flexible interpretation of the rules.
Specifically, l & rsquo; bone of contention & egrave; become the recourse to the so-called & ldquo; alternate List & rdquo; to assign any vacancies. The current regulation provides, in fact, that in the case of substitutions in the race should be taken into account in the top five in the & rsquo; Alternate List. However, l & rsquo; impression & egrave; that at this time you do not face pi & ugrave; reference to the first five finishers in absolute terms, but the first five eligible for the stage of the case.
Only in this way can & ograve; be explained by the substitution took place yesterday in the trial of Dance Skate America with Canadians Elisabeth Paradis / Francois Xavier Ouellette, who took over from the Japanese Reed / Reed, still lagging condition after a serious knee injury which insomuch & egrave; was submitted in the summer Chris Reed.
In essence, whereas the first three finishers in & rsquo; alternate list are gi & agrave; enrolled at Skate America, you & egrave; went down to & rsquo; eighth place to ensure the American federation the faculty & agrave; Choose one of five couples. 144.78 (ITA) - Guignard / Fabbri (gi & agrave are enrolled at Skate America) 137,20 (SVK) - Head / Csolley (gi & agrave are enrolled at Skate America), 137.60 (CAN) - Orford / Williams (gi & agrave; members at Skate America) 131.66 (EST) & ndash; Shtork / Rand130,16 (RUS) - Kosigina / Moroshkin 127.96 (TUR) & ndash; Agafonova / Ucar127,51 (DEN) & ndash; Fournier Beaudry / Sorensen127,40 (CAN) - Paradis / Ouellette (gi & agrave are enrolled at Skate Canada)
& Nbsp;
In the field of artistic couples, however, one of the two seats available for the Cup of China & egrave; was assigned to the American Jessica Calalang / Zach Sidhu, who & ograve; in & rsquo; alternate list occupied the sixth position 144.23 (RUS) - Cherniavskaia / Souza-Kordyeru (gi & agrave; recorded at NHK Trophy) 139.95 (CHN) - Wang / Zhang130,46 (BLR) - Paliakova / Bochkov123,54 ( PRK) - Pak / I Song157,06 (CAN) - Grenier / Deschamps & nbsp; (Gi & agrave are enrolled at Skate America) (score obtained in the 2014-2015 season) 156.18 (USA) - Calalang / Sidhu (score obtained in the 2014-2015 season)
In this case, to find an explanation for the choice is insomuch complex, unless the Chinese pair Wang / Zhang or the North Korean Pak / The Song has been declared unavailable for some time by the respective federations. With this starting assumption, Calalang / Sidhu would come to the right in the top five of the & rsquo; alternate list.
In the meantime, & egrave; released a box in the men's why & eacute; Chinese Jinlin Guan has renounced the NHK Trophy. If it applied the criteria used for the dance contest of Skate America, the athletes to choose the substitute should be Bush, Carriere, Hendrickx, Ten and Balde because Miner is gi & agrave; writing to the Japanese leg and Tanaka could not compete because egrave &; are gi & agrave; three skaters home.
226.31 (RUS) - Bush (gi & agrave; joined the Cup of China) 225.54 (USA) - Careers (gi & agrave; joined the Rostelecom Cup) 214.04 (BEL) - Hendrickx (gi & agrave; writing at Skate America) 210 , 87 (USA) - Miner (gi & agrave; writing to the NHK Trophy) 210.02 (JPN) - Tanaka (gi & agrave; joined the Cup of China), 208.51 (CAN) - Ten (gi & agrave; joined the Rostelecom Cup) 205 19 (CAN) - Balde (gi & agrave; writing at Skate Canada)
Obviously, you wait with curiosity & agrave; the choice of the Federation of Japan.
