Nell & rsquo; occasion, l & rsquo; student of Alexei Mishin, victorious a few weeks ago in the stage of Jr. Grand Prix of Tallinn, showed off the best performance of his career in a free program by executing flawless two double axel and eight triple jumps, including two lutz axel and two of stupefying beauty. Moreover, new fact, & egrave; managed to get the level pi & ugrave; available on the elements of high top, notoriously certainly not the specialty & agrave; of the house.
However, l & rsquo; present lack of a quadruple jump did not put in pole position for the final of the Junior Grand Prix in Barcelona, ​​where the athletes will be to beat the Chinese and the Japanese Boyang Jin Shoma Uno.
Petrov (231.70), best of the lot even in the short program yesterday, preceded the training partner Artur Dmitriev (201.14), in recovery from illness of the season that did not allow him to participate in the Finlandia Trophy last week. The twenty two year old son d & rsquo; & egrave not art; failed to keep pace with the winner due to three important steps to empty, quantifiable in more than twenty points. Dmitriev, in fact, laundry l & rsquo; appointment with the quadruple toe loop, completing somehow little more & ugrave; two rotations, & egrave; fell on the first attempt of the triple axel and absently ran two combinations of three jumps, seeing cancel, in accordance with the Regulation, the second. On the positive side, it should be remembered the best sequence of steps of the day.
The third place & egrave; went to Keiji Tanaka (197.83), which, among a step-load and l & rsquo; else, has put together five triple jumps in the free program like Dmitriev. The twenty year old Japanese has paid the price because of an attempted quadruple salchow not been successful and the steps to empty the lutz and the second flip, completed only doubles. The version of "adult" Tanaka, at the junior level skater who has won more & ugrave; Sometimes the final of the Grand Prix class, did not convince granch & egrave ;. In particular, it is not clear why it has been abandoned quadruple toe loop, often completed in the past, to move to quadruple salchow.
Following this, & egrave; placed the advanced Japanese Yoji Tsuboi (188.83), which preceded the amazing Spanish Felipe Montoya (185.90), capable of having much the better of the pi & ugrave; Listed compatriot Javier Raya (177.73), only seventh in Nice behind even the young Russian Murad Kurbanov (175.81).
In the race, Dance & egrave; ended in triumph for Great Britain. At the assumed success of Penny Coomes / Nicholas Buckland (157,08), you & egrave; added the second place of Olivia Smart / Joseph Buckland (134.00), gi & agrave; can be noticed although they are still a beginner in the senior category. In the free dance, the winners skated to a medley of Muse lift presenting high quality & agrave ;, the rotational species, but leaving different points on the plate due to a loss of balance of Buckland on twizzles, readily recovered.
The podium & egrave; been completed by the Ukrainian Lolita Yermak / Alexe & IUML; Shumskiy (112.42), rose from fifth place in the short dance. The bunch sprint for fourth place & egrave; was won by the Finnish Cecilia Torn / Jussiville Partanen (108,97), who ruled narrowly Koreans school Shpilband Yura Min / Timothy Koleto (108,88) and the Japanese Emil Hirai / Marien De La Asuncion (108.13) , third after the short dance.
