好象两对都是2A失败了,RUS的double twist居然是四级,很好奇,什么样的才能达到.Z/W的位置对他们而言好象不太好,对他们压力太大了,他们还是争奖牌的时候,还远不到争金牌的时候.两对都要加油.
Krasilnikova/Bezmaternykh had drawn to skate last out of the 20 couples and delivered a strong performance to “Quidam” from Cirque du Soleil. The two-time and reigning World Junior bronze medallists hit a solid side by side double Axel followed by a throw triple toeloop, and a high double twist, that was graded a rarely seen level four. They also produced a level-three side by side combination spin and a lasso lift with variations of position to pick up a new personal best score of 56.30 points (33.56 element score/22.74 program component score). “Overall it wasn’t bad, but obviously all of us could have skated a little better tonight. Not all of us showed what we can do”, Bezmaternykh said.
Iliushechkina/Maisuradze, who debut in international competition, opened their routine to “The Gadfly” by Dmitri Shostakovich with an excellent double Axel and a double twist that was awarded a level four by the Technical Panel. The team from Moscow also completed a difficult toe Lasso lift with an unusual entry, but Iliushechkina fell on the throw triple toeloop. The Muscovites scored 52.05 points (30.31/22.74). “”We’ve been competing only since this season. Obviously we made an error, which is too bad, but apart from that we skated quite well”, Iliushechkina commented. “It was just a technical error. We both were single skaters before, and the most difficult part for us was to get used to each other. We’ve been training a whole year and started to compete only now”, she added.
Skating to “Winter” from “Four Seasons” by Antonio Vivaldi, Sheremetieva/Kuznetsov put out a solid short program that contained a side by side double loop, a double twist, a fast and very well synchronized side by side spin. The throw triple toe was high, but she had trouble to control the landing and stepped out of it. The Muscovites received 51.94 points (30.05/21.89), which was a new personal best for them. “We tried to do everything at the maximum speed and we didn’t quite cope with the speed on this element”, Sheremetieva said, referring to the error. “We were trying our best. Of course, we trained to skate our program with a clean throw, but we tried not to think about the mistake and tried to do everything as we should do”, her partner commented. “We don’t yet do the most difficult elements, but we’ll be ready for next season.”
China’s Yue Zhang/Lei Wang and Huibo Dong/Yiming Wu came in fourth and fifth and are less than a point away from the podium. Zhang/Wang’s performance included a double twist, throw triple toe and a one armed lasso lift, but she stepped out of the double Axel (51.22 points). Dong/Wu as well showed a solid double twist and throw triple loop, but she stumbled into the boards after landing the double Axel, and they lost unison in their side by side spin (51.16 points). Both pairs also achieved a new seasonal best. |
