Sui/Han put down a dynamic performance to the “City Lights” Charlie Chaplin movie soundtrack. They opened with a side by side double Axel-double Axel sequence and a big throw quadruple Salchow, but she two-footed the landing. The ISU Junior Final Grand Prix Champions also hit a triple twist, a throw triple flip and were awarded a level four for the spins, the death spiral and the two lifts. They posted a new personal best score with 109.77 points (60.73 element score/49.04 program component score) and overall won the title in their debut at Junior Worlds with 170.71 points. Sui/Han are the second Chinese pair to win the ISU World Junior Championships after Dan Zhang/Hao Zhang, who were Champions in 2001 and 2003.
“We are pleased with our performance and especially happy that we were able to show the quadruple throw, which is a very difficult element”, Han said. “There were a few little mistakes, but overall we think it was good. The quad throw is hard to do and we’ve worked together with our coach (Bo Luan) step by step in practice to be able to put it out in competition”, he went on.
翻译采访:“我们对我们的表演很满意,尤其值得开心的是我们能够完成抛四周跳。”“整套节目仍然有一些小失误,但是整体上来看我们感觉很好。抛四很难完成,我们和教练(栾波)一步一个脚印地去训练这个动作,才敢把他放在在比赛中使用。” |
