The victory & egrave; was, in fact, won by Nicole Della Monica and Matthew Guarise, the first triumph in an international event, but he is already agrave; able to get on the podium on the occasion of the Universiade's Last edition.
L & rsquo; emerging Italian association (153.29), ruler of the short program, & egrave; able to withstand in the segment pi & ugrave; long race to bully back the Germans Mari Vartmann / Aaron Van Cleave (152.10) and the Russians Vera Bazarova / Andrei Deputat (151.02).
Students staff directed by Cristina Mauri at the Assago Forum confirmed the positive impression awakened Friday & igrave ;, revealing an improvement in quality & agrave; overall skating and presenting programs & more ugrave; rich passages of transition and difficulty & agrave; than in the past. Not surprisingly, the feedback on the components of the program you are literally becoming decidedly more wheelies & ugrave; competitive.
The performance today & egrave; was for & ograve; characterized by light and shadow. The biggest problems have come to coincide with the jumps in parallel as the triple salchow you & egrave; concluded with a fall in almost perfect unison and the planned double axel & egrave; was completed only single from Della Monica and step-out from Guarise. On the front of the cast, the triple Rittberger & egrave; been landed with a little too much spin, while l & rsquo; execution of the triple salchow & egrave; was fine. They deserve a positive mention even triple twist, now entered in all respects in the technical background of the couple, and lifting, including the reverse period, novelty & agrave; this season.
The second place & egrave; went to Mari Vartmann and Aaron Van Cleave, penalized by a bad fall on the triple flip and launched from the problematic Vartmann landing on the triple salchow in parallel. Unlike the usual, Van Cleave has, however, made the most of both elements jumping side by side. The German couple, in addition to a combination triple toe loop / double toe loop, presented a good triple salchow and launched two lifts of group five carefully constructed to achieve the level pi & ugrave; high available.
The expected Russian Vera Bazarova / Andrei Deputat, after the disastrous performance of the Lombardy Trophy and the short-program two days ago, they finally gave some feeble signs of life being able to perform various elements of quality & agrave; including the triple twist, triple Rittberger launched and the reverse lasso. However, the jumps in parallel continue to represent a sort of enigma unresolved, despite today have been prevented as the usual falls, compensated for & ograve; the & ldquo; ruzzolone & rdquo; launched on the triple lutz. The main obstacle to overcome on the jumps side by side is the & rsquo; Bazarova atavistic tendency to rotate under each item. The students of Oleg Vassiliev were, however, removed satisfaction to impose itself in the free program, finishing in third place.
Afterwards, the samples were placed in charge Italian junior Bianca Manarcorda / Niccolo Macii (124.86), which clearly preceded the Austrians Miriam Ziegler / Severin Kiefer (114.00), invited to two stages of Grand Prix pi & ugrave; for injuries of competition for the merits acquired in the field. The students of Barbara Luoni are distinguished for the & rsquo; excellent execution of the triple flip launched and difficult reverse period, while, in addition to the points of the inner spiral forward lost episodically on the street, they had problems on & rsquo; landing of the triple toe loop launched, degraded double by the technical panel.
