And it is with discipline men who are open races today, where Evgeni Plushenko, one of the most famous faces of this Olympiad, was expected to give a show of strength also because of the many controversies that have preceded his call. The veteran St. Petersburg, however, while finishing the race with the first free program of the day (168.20), did not entirely convinced about the technical, showing different points of weakness. In his free program he has in fact added a quadruple jump only proposing two triple lutz instead of which the second combination in the second half of the program, along with two triple axels, but with the second run in combination with a double toe loop and double-loop does not well landed. They also missed two other triple jumps, as Evgeni performed the double salchow and loop only. Excellent levels of performance even when the jumps have not been completed at its best, while the remaining elements stood only at level three, except for a top four on the low sample foot. It is a layout of jumps still different from what was proposed, and already extensively remodeled in the season, probably a program of "caution" with which the'' former Olympic champion intends to keep the forces in view of the individual competition, where to get on the podium will serve technical scores of very different thickness.
In second place concude a great Reynolds (167.92 - CAN),'' the only athlete to propose more than four times a day, even three: quadruple Salchow, quadruple toe loop in combination with a triple toe loop, quadruple toe loop in the second half of the disc along with four others including the'' triple axel.
Quadruple instead traitor to the Japanese Machida (165.85), which have to have completed the first quadruple toe loop fails the second attempt by only a fourth place triplo.Al a brilliant Jason Brown (153.67 - USA) that just because of a mistake on the triple sequence lutz / triple salchow not confirm the excellent levels of national championships but still shows a very good state of forma.Chiude ranking the'' blue Parkinson (121.23) while completing well as the combination with the triple axel in the initial attempt fails even quadruple salchow.
They then went down later in the track skaters competing in the women's individual'', where the Russian Lipnitskaya has once again reconfirmed on a technical level stellar, once again accompanied by an exponential growth in the components of the program. '' The student of Tutberidze (141.51) has in fact performed seven triples including the triple axel-double combination hard toe loop-double toe loop at the opening of a second programma.In Gracie Gold (129.38) from the anthology: the'' American has in fact led to complete the perfect free program including seven triple jumps and spins of fattura.Prestazione excellent to say the least exciting for Valentina Marchei (112.51)'' s Olympic debut, for a few cents does not improve his personal best but it shows a state of the form physical and mental health. '' The only regret may reside in non-triple toe loop combination, double axel, where quests'' last result is only doppio.Quarta the Japanese Suzuki (112.33), which has racked up several imperfections on the jumps often sottoruotati; fifth Canadian Osmond (110.73), which pays a bad fall on a triple lutz and the lowest ratings on the components of programma.Nel late afternoon the race came to an end with the discipline of dance which confirmed Russia in the first place, thanks to the '' excellent performance of Ililynkh / Katsalapov deserving of the personal best score (103.48) and third in the free dance. Posting very clear, however, between the Americans Davis / White, winners with a free 114.34 and Canadians Virtue / Moir seconds with only 107.56, a difference that speaks volumes about the possible outcome of the final dance scheduled for Sunday 16 and Monday February 17. Excellent test for the Blues Guignard / Fabbri, fourth with 81.25, while the Reed brothers close the ranking stopping at 76.34.
