Mao Asada drives to victory in Japan Japan Open 2013

In respect of the discounted prediction of the vigil, Japan has imposed in'' eighth edition of the Japan Open, defending the title won twelve months ago.

The hosts totaled 544,85 and preceded by almost sixteen lengths the team nordaemericana (528,89). European team, essentially held up only by Javier Fernandez, however, sadly closed third (477.84 ). The first to get on the ice'' s impressive Saitama Super Arena, home of the next World Championships, were the guests at the test male. The best of the lot was the Spaniard Javier Fernandez (176.91), who from the first jump has hinted that they are already in Olympic form. The new free program, coreogrfato by Kurt Browning on the soundtrack of Peter Gunn (Henry Mancini) and Harlem Nocturne (Earle Hagen) has, in fact, got a well-deserved standing ovation from the local audience. L'' student of Brian Orser has opened its program presetando quadruple toe loop combination, quadruple salchow / double toe loop and triple axel. Still in force, has performed in the second half of the disc another quadruple Salchow, a combination triple lutz / double toe loop, a triple Rittberger landed with step-out, a combination of triple flip / Rittberger / triple salchow and a triple Salchow close. On balance, Fernandez, who has picked up on the technical front the beauty of 91.35 points, managed to put together a program of early October three quadruple and six triple undertaking that speaks for itself and speaks volumes on the turn taken by the men in the four Olympic skating in progress. Behind all'' unattainable spagono, came the Japanese Takahiko Kozuka (158.42), which gave the impression that he had'' completely solved the physical problems of the past season. Today's performance, in fact, was undoubtedly convincing despite a move to empty on the first element of the second half of the disc, a completely open axel instead of the combination triple axel / double toe loop pianficata. The twenty-four of Nagoya comunuqe well-executed jump the other elements of the program with a good opening quadruple toe loop, followed by a triple axel and then the combination tripo lutz / double toe loop / double Rittberger. In the end, there were a quadruple and six triple jumps, which represent a loot more than acceptable at this stage of the season. On the sidelines, it should be noted that the'' student of Nobuo Sato has revived the Free last year, "Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso" by Camille Saint-Saëns choreographed by Marina Zueva. Kozuka preceded by a narrow margin the American Jeremy Abbott (157.70), invited all'''' last minute to replace the injured Kevin Reynolds. The U.S. veteran, although he had prepared the best race, managed to express at levels higher than those of last season and took advantage of the opportunity'' pre introduce the new free program choreographed by himself, with the collaboration of Yuka Sato, the music of Muse "Exogenesys." The good news for the veteran stationed in Detrot proved the tightness athletics which enabled him, in contrast with the latest releases, to complete four quadruple, including a triple axel in the second half of the disc. It remains, however, a bit of regret'' not because of the fall on the quadruple toe loop of paertura, but for the problems on a flip, completed only twice which was attacked in some way a single toe loop. Closed the part relating to those who are well de-committed, you must open the chapter on those who have stolen the'' eye, nor do we have gone close. L'' expected landlord Daisuke Takahashi (149.12) despite having received feedback on the program components above the competition has caught a rare day when the triple axel has never wanted to enter. The Japanese veteran has thus collected two falls (quadruple toe loop and triple axel), a landing with his hands in the land of a triple rittbgerer and fully opened tenativo second triple axel, completing one rotation. I do not have so many errors it possible to better appreciate the new free choreographed by Lori Nichol on a medley of the Beatles. Following are placed, the Canadian Jeffrey Buttle (127.43), who retired athlete and choreographer who has become successful, it has done everything possible in the presence of top athletes in the men's circuit, and Czech Michal Brezina ( 125.74), well away from the best of form and penalized by several smears including the attempted quadruple salchow went to empty a landing with hands on the ground of the second triple axel that was supposed to be in combination, a disastrous fall on ' 'landing a triple lutz and a combinzione open end of a double salchow instead of three times.
