The Russian Elizaveta Tuktamysheva (179.23) & egrave; He managed to defend the title won in Nice twelve months ago & ldquo; & rdquo mocking; the wire compatriot Alena Leonova (178.59), winning by a wide margin in the short program.
In the segment pi & ugrave; long race you have to & ograve; reversed the parts and, unlike what happened Saturday, the reigning world champion & egrave; was the best on the technical front that the sum of the components of the program.
Tutktamysheva waived the triple axel, despite having presented a choreography, to the tune of & ldquo; & rdquo Peer Gynt; Edvard Grieg, created to perform in the difficult opening element. On balance, he put together two double axel and five triple jumps, but often not & egrave; It was flawless landings. In particular, both combinations triple toe loop / triple toe loop and triple salchow / double toe loop have been completed with a spin too much between the first and the second jump. L & rsquo; main mistake it was, however, covered the second triple lutz, double run.
The performance, though lower than in the recent Japan Open, & egrave; It seemed convincing considering the ills that have affected the & rsquo; beginning of autumn preparation and, in particular, the lack of explosiveness & agrave; It emerged in the race. It appears d & rsquo; the other hand clear that the program will & agrave; enriched along the way of some transitional step in more & ugrave ;, but Tratter & agrave; a progressive path, in line with what happened in the triumphant last season.
Alena Leonova, when it seemed to have fist in victory, had to raise the white flag in the face of more & ugrave; titrated compatriot, but in this case the response of the track & egrave; revealed otremodo bitter because & eacute; determined by the deduction of one point for & ldquo; & rdquo time violation; (In this case, music too long). The twenty-four of San Pieotrburgo presented a program with two double axel and six triple jumps, but after completing with stubbornness & agrave; the combination triple toe loop / triple toe loop, & egrave; fall on the triple lutz, historical nemesis, and botched exceedingly combinations triple flip / double toe loop and triple salchow / double toe loop. However, the & rsquo; mistake & most ugrave; bloody & egrave; come on & rsquo; execution of the flying camel, yesterday impeccable.
The two fight for the final podium place came out winning the French Laurine Lecavalier (155.78), ahead of measurement in both segments of the race progressed Ukrainian Anna Khnychenkova (150.74), author of the second abutment technical in the free program. L & rsquo; Italian Giada Russian (130.73) is & egrave ;, instead, placed sixth, batting for a penny from German Nathalie Weinzierl (130.74). & Nbsp; The eighteen of Turin & egrave; It was today impeccable of spins and steps, elements that & rsquo; have seen excel in trying to Nice, but it paid duty on the jumps being able to complete the most of a pair of double axel and a combination double flip / double Rittberger / double Rittberger. None of the four attempts at triple & egrave; unsuccessful.
& Nbsp;
In the test given to couples of art, the Germans Mari Vartmann / Ruben Blommaert filed the first success of the young career side by side. Students of the spouses Wende have largely prevailed in both segments of the race showing a & rsquo; interesting texture. In the free program, the main smears have about the step-out which Blommaert has landed the jumps in parallel, but the overall performance & egrave; It was, in any event, convincing.
In second place we were placed Austrians Miriam Ziegler / Severin Kiefer (141.02), which today have attempted a triple lutz in parallel, to run & ograve; only single from Ziegler. The podium & egrave; It was completed by the young French Camille Mendoza / Pavel Kovalev (127.00), who have passed the minimum technical standards to take part in the World Cup.
