Tuktamysheva leapt to silver – BBC

Elizabeth Tuktamysheva was second at the Canadian Grand Prix figure skating, after the failure in the short program, won arbitrary. Also medals won Skate Canada dancers Yekaterina Bobrova and Dmitry Solovyov and sports a pair of Eugene Tarasov and Vladimir Morozov.

Still, she risked! Elizaveta Tuktamysheva, faced a difficult, although it is feasible for her challenge to climb from seventh place after the short program in the first, cautious and did not include in its long program triple axel, the most expensive of the jumps performed at the moment by women.

It turned out much more successful than in the beginning of October in the commercial tournament Japan Open, where Lisa Axel dropped. While in Canada, the judge rather severely punish the incumbent world champion for a mistake on the road, taking off from the base cost of the item more than two points.

Even more valuable was the fact that the item is not super complex devastating impact on the program as a whole (as in Japan). Although Elizabeth has not received very high allowances for the execution of jumps, to which all got used last season, she dialed the sum 133.62 points allowed her to win the long program, and become the second in the final report.

As expected, Tuktamysheva not been able to get only an American Ashley Wagner.

It is possible to assume that, despite all the difficulties, Elizabeth He makes the most of its Canadian maximum performance. It keeps a good chance of getting into the final of the Grand Prix (the second stage it will have in France). Held in conditions of high competition is quite a good test drive any triple axel. I check in once own fighting skills in the end. I get experience when you have to fight really to the end, despite the fact that the physical form is far from ideal. All of this will pay off later. But experience with diving deep into the tournament table and back is best, of course, do not repeat it. On the main competitions such numbers usually do not go, remember Mao Asada and the Olympics in Sochi.

Men’s Tournament at Skate Canada in 2015 very clearly shows the trend in this type of figure skating. Three quad – no longer news and it is not even a trump card. Too many of these cards in the hands of the current candidates.

For example, the technical “stuffing” of any program of Olympic champion Yuzuru Hanyu of Sochi. Five jumps into the second part of the program (with the additional allowance is supposed to in points), three quads. And the one in the stage, placed just in the second half. This is another trend.

All of this has brought a total of 98.35 Hanyu only technique! If there is, by the way, two errors on the pole that was stolen from Japanese about three points.

Yuzuru eventually finished second in the long program, and on aggregate. As Tuktamysheva, he did not cope with the short, after which was in sixth place. But in the long program all returned to their seats. And this long-awaited duel with Patrick Chan still held.

There is no doubt that the Canadian, who won the Grand Prix at home thanks to the breathtaking any rental program, will also increase the technical complexity. So far, Patrick returned to skating after a missed season, one quadruple in each program. However, the qualitative performance of all the elements and the absence of falls is still brought him more than 95 points in any of the equipment only.

A couple of years ago it was Chan called on the prime candidate to surpass fantastic milestone of 300 points on the sum of the two programs. Canadian Personal record, he’s a world, now stands at 295.27. Now the question is when it will happen again relevant. Patrick returned Yuzuru grew and became strong, everyone else certainly cheer.

The winners of the competitions of sports pairs Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford in any program made in the championship, being able to combine spectacular production with very precisely even, especially in the beginning, the musical accents and technical stuffing.

Canadians did and “expensive” triple lutz jump, and release a quad Salchow (including allowances for the execution of a Canadian couple got only this item 9.06). However, the risk did not, and the second quadruple release is refused.

Lost Duhamel and Radford scores only on the cascade: Megan made a mistake on the landing of the first jump – a triple toe loop. This has once again demonstrated its unique ability to pull out each element of even the most hopeless situation. “Klyunuv” housing, skater quickly returned to the upright position and was able to add two single toe loop. Thus, the stage was saved. As well as the release of quad bit earlier.

The second place to prevent young Russians Yevgeny Tarasov and Vladimir Morozov, performed his long program almost flawlessly. Talk about real competition with Duhamel and Radford it is too early – and a gap of almost 25 points in the final report eloquently speaks about it. But the patience of the sport often no less important than ambition. The Russians have already got, for example, the brand elements: a spectacular twist, the performance of which in Canada in both programs, most of the judges rated as “3″, that is as high as possible. As a result, any element that Russians have to score more than Duhamel and Radford.

retained its third position in the ice dance Ekaterina Bobrova and Dmitri Soloviev with, formalize his return to Canada in figure skating after a missed because of injury of the season. The second start in the Grand Prix of pupils Alexander Zhulin is in Japan at the end of November.

The second were Americans Maia and Alex Shibutani, who this season finally lucky with the free dance. As brother and sister, they were deprived of the opportunity to operate on the ice running and most successful theme – love. As a result, some of their programs have on the general background is not the most interesting.

This year the problem elegantly Shibutani decided choreographer Peter Chernyshov, to deliver them a spectacular free dance for the song «Fix you Coldplay», is very similar in spirit to the work of the group itself. As in the short dance the day before, the Americans once again have the highest of all participants praise for technique, but lost to opponents of Canada’s score for the components of the program.

Chernyshev posted in this season for the “rebranding “Skate Canada winners in ice dancing – Kaitlyn Weaver and Andrew Poje. How to tell the skaters in an interview before the start of the season, after the “Four Seasons” by Vivaldi they wanted to try something new. The director, who worked with them the first time, proposed to add drama to return chemistry and emotions between the characters, the music for Canadians found «On the Nature of Daylight» Max Riktera.

Given that in his time Weaver and Poje famous dance «Malade», one of the most beautiful love stories ever shown on the ice, and the experiment was a success in this case.
