The defending champion junior world champion, immediately at ease in the presence of opposing definitely navigate, dominated the longer segment of the race where, in addition to having received the highest technical score, it was the best in four of the five components of the program. The student Inna Goncharenko doth a technical repertoire of first floor performing spins carefully designed to achieve the level four (layback or upside down if you prefer at all) and a repertoire of triple jumps with rare else on the globe (well, there were completed seven triple well). The only passage in vacuum is represented by a fall on a double axel trivial, accepted by the adolescent Moscow with a grimace of surprise.
Passed fluency in the first test, Radionova is now pending commitment with the Grand Prix, where the minimum wage is access to the final Saitama scheduled in December. His business card will be 188.21 points obtained in the Nebelhorn.
Pride of place went to the new mother Japanese Miki Ando (162.86), which appeared more at ease in the test yesterday. The two-times world champion has certainly paid the rust for the thirty months of inactivity and in the second part of the free has appeared rather in trouble. That said, the impression made remains positive, although there is a lot of work on the elements of top and finish the program should be free not appeared as construction on the level of the short.
The podium was completed by eighteen year old American Ashley Cain (162.39), author of the second free day, in spite of a start-up "shock", characterized by a disastrous fall on a triple lutz attempt to overly complex and a landing of the first triple flip. The former pair skater, however, has had the merit of being able to react missing at the end of the hook to Ando for less than half a point.
As for the Olympic qualification, can celebrate athletes of three different continents. They have, in fact, earned the place of belonging to the nation's emerging eighteen year old Australian Brookle Han (147,16), complete with a new national record, the Georgian Elene Gedevanishvili, already present in Turin and Vancouver, the amazing nineteen year old Norwegian Anne Line Gjersem (142.87), the fifteen-Czech stationed in Oberstdorf Elizaveta Ukolova (136.72) and the seventeen year old Brazilian Isadora Williams (130.08), which, barring unforeseen circumstances, will be the first South American skater to take part in the Games Olympic. It should also be noted that Norwegian athlete will return to tread the "ice in five circles" at a distance of fifty years to the day since the last appearance.
They lick, however, the wounds still positive Lithuanian Inga Janilevciute (128,19), remained out for less than two points, and the disappointing Finnish Juulia Turkkila (121.82), which does not allow the compatriot Kiira Korpi, now injured , to be the game of Sochi.
Confused, finally, the performance of the Spanish Sonia Lafuente (107,30), presented itself at a key moment in terms of shape very approximate. Talk to her in a free fall which is on the only attempted three times, however, a toe loop, and presented only double jumps. The glories of the seventh place of the last European Championships have seemed far more remote only eight months.
