The victory you & egrave; to be quite painful and & egrave; resulted due to the advantage gained in the short program, in which the 'student of Hiroshi Nagakubo & egrave; He managed to line up the listed competition.
The key to success is to be found on the technical side, who excelled on sixteen stationed in Nagoya in both race segments hosted dall''Olympic Hamar Amphitheatre. We memorize options Accordingly, the free program & egrave; It was characterized by empty steps on the elements of greatest value and, compared to previous releases, & egrave; It has been simplified with the 'elimination of the second quad toe loop and the second triple axel. Yamamoto, author of the third stop of the day, & egrave; fell sull''unico attempt to triple axel performed and completed with great difficulty & agrave; the quadruple toe loop, then judged under-rotated by the technical panel. Impeccable on elements of spinning top, the national junior champion landed two double axel and seven triple jumps, including a lutz with input from a non outer edge. & Nbsp;
Of the 'Silver Medal & egrave; It was conquered by the Latvian Deniss Vasiljevs, best of the lot in pi & ugrave segment; long race in virt & ugrave; the pi & ugrave assessments; high on the program components. The sixteen year old trained by Alexei Urmanov has revealed a quality & agrave; higher-skating opponents and, for the first time in his career, & egrave; He managed to complete two triple axel. Key to victory, failure to balance for a little more & ugrave; of a point, they fall on the triple flip and triple salchow, without forgetting un''inopinata missing location proved fatal on the combined top. Nell''occasione, Vasiljevs tumbler has a sequence of steps worthy of the best interpreters of the main tour and remodeled the national record gi & agrave; of his property & agrave ;.
The 'expected Russian Dmitri Aliev, considered the favorite of the eve, you & egrave; He had to settle for a thousand regrets of the third currency. The sixteen year old student of Evgeni Rukavitsin & egrave; It was the 'only one with two quadruple jumps, but after they landed the combination quadruple toe loop / double toe loop, & egrave; fell on the second attempt to quadruple toe loop. The victory & egrave; to memorize options disappeared because of steps to empty the first triple axel, opened in flight after a single spin, and flip, performed twice instead & egrave; triple. Aliev, as well as a quadruple toe loop, however well it made a double axel and five triple jumps going from fifth position occupied at the end of an unfortunate short program.
At the foot of the podium & egrave; certified the Canadian sixteen Roman Sadovsky, penalized, as usual, by a march less on jump elements as compared to rivals. Next, they placed the fourteen Cha Jun Hwan, promising Korean who moved last spring in Canada at the 'crowded court of Brian Orser, and Koshiro Shimada, Japan still lacks the triple axel.
The 'blue Adrien Bannister finished the race in ninth position expressing at good levels in the free program in which he landed two double axel and seven triple jumps, including an axel, a Rittberger and salchow under rotated. The sixteen-year in Sesto San Giovanni had the merit to get on track without awe presenting two programs from the highly ambitious technical content and the fact that just arrived in Hamar is the best performance of the season should be a source of satisfaction. Moreover, the official personal best, for what it's worth, not & egrave; dropped due to lack of choreographic sequence in pi & ugrave segment; long race, obviously not foreseen at junior level.
Much of the athletes who participated in the Youth Olympic Games will cross national championships weapons again at the junior, who, by the American orphans Nathan Chen, will be held in Debrecen in a month.
