Easy huge success for Virtue / Moir Trophy in Finland

The second day of Finland Trophy, now in its eighteenth edition, ended with the free dance.

The success, in keeping with the obvious prediction of the eve, went to Tessa Virtue / Scott Moir (167,87), last pair to get on the ice of the Barona Areena in Espoo. The reigning Olympic champions have finally shown to the public their free dance, choreographed by Marina Zueva on "Piano Concerto in F Minor" by Alexander Scriabin and "The Seasons" by Alexander Glazunov. The choice fell on musical motifs from the slow pace, categorized into the category of romantic ballad, a genre in the past successfully interpreted by the Canadian couple. However, it is still too early to make a judgment on the new free dance and, probably, to have a better idea, you will need to wait for Skate Canada scheduled later this month. In'' occasion, in fact, there will be a direct confrontation with the fellow countrymen Weaver / Poje and, above all, many small details will be revised in the light of'' attitude of the panel and judges. Regarding the'' whole race of Espoo, it is important to emphasize precisely the'' inflexibility of the panel, as evidenced by low levels globally for all couples, Virtue / Moir included. In second place, with the basic technical score higher in the free dance, they placed the statunitesi Madison Chock / Evan Bates (143.06), returned to a yield their appropriate'' after the incident took place in the short-dance yesterday. However, even students of Igor Shpilband, in consultation with the technical staff, will have to carefully evaluate the performance of Finland Trophy'' in which some level has been lost here and there, especially on the lift. The podium was completed by surprise Jutsyna Plutowska / Peter Gerber (131.71), newly formed partnership was born just over a year ago and coached by Igor Shpilband. The Polish couple had the merit to stand in the free dance to bully back of Lithuanians Isabella Tobias / Deividas Stagniunas (130.33), their fellow training and authors of the third free. In fifth position, were placed the hosts Henna Lindholm / Ossi Kanervo (124,33), coached by Maurizio Margaglio as well as all pairs of points of the movement of Finland.
