On January 14, Beijing time, the 2021/22 European Figure Skating Championships concluded the second day of competition in Tallinn, Estonia. In the two-person free skating competition, the Russian troika successfully won the podium: As Sui Wenjing/Han Cong's biggest opponent, Michelina/Galliamov was still in good shape, winning the gold medal at 239.82, continuing the unbeaten record of the season; Tarasova/Molozov also performed well, ensuring the silver medal at 236.43; the bronze medal went to Biyukova/Kozlovsky with a score of 227.23.
Pre-Match Information:
In the short program, the three Russian pairs showed a significantly higher strength than the other groups by more than one position: Mishenna/Galliamov, Tarasova/Molozov all scored more than 80, and Biyukova/Kozlovsky scored 76.26.... In the fourth-place Italian group, Giraldi/Abrosini, there was only 62.76 – a gap that was so pronounced that the free skating decision on medal ownership was entirely a Russian contradiction.
Player Performance:
With "The Tempest" and "Forward, Times!" "Michelina / Galliamov as the soundtrack, the opening sign even jumped after the inner knot ring three weeks after three weeks, from entry, take-off to falling ice without flaws, twisting for three weeks the height is decent, front and back connection can be better. After throwing the inner point ice for three weeks, all the rotations are completed at the highest point, and there is plenty of room for falling ice; the female companion Swallow step/male partner backward lunge into the rear outer point ice for three weeks is quite stable.
The synergistic gliding in front of the spiral is novel, and the practice of directly connecting with the two-person joint rotation also ensures more performance space in the second half. However, from the pace of orchestration, the speed of the two people's gliding has dropped significantly, and there are many pressing steps after entering the allegro, and it is obvious that under the premise of ensuring technical stability, they are still unable to control the program with a higher content level.
Throwing the outer knot ring for three weeks and the difficulty of lifting the hip lift into is the limit of the two people's current ability, so that the final shape is completely waiting for the end of the music. Technology 81.45 program content 76.01, free skating 157.46, a total score of 239.82 won the championship.
In Patrick Wattson's "House of Bright", Tarasova/Morozov in the low chant of Patrick Wattson's "Bright House", after the opening three weeks of the outer ring, the female partner turned over and held the ice with one hand, twisting the height of the three weeks away from the heyday, but still quite impactful; the three weeks of the rear outer point ice Jump interval was too large, and the referee showed a different attitude to this in the execution score; the rear inner point ice fell on the ice for three weeks, and the front inner spiral line hesitated for a moment when entering, and none of them were in place.
The three-week amplitude of the outer knot ring after the throwing is very large, and the overall effect is significantly better than the previous one. The two-person joint rotation slides out with a small lift, and the practice of putting all three sets of large lifts at the end makes the second half of the arrangement lack some ups and downs. But there are still some very delicate connections that ensure the fullness of the content. Technology 78.74 / program 76.11, free skating 154.85, a total of 236.43 won the silver medal.
After the opening of the biyukova/Kozlowski, the inner knot ring entered with a large word and a three-turn connection, and the synchronization and spacing were remarkable; when the outer point of the ice jumped for three consecutive weeks, the male partner fell on the ice and shook slightly, fortunately adjusted. The female companion's one-handed twist for three weeks is much weaker than her teammates, and the hip lift has sufficient travel speed and ice coverage; they have maintained a high speed and smooth line from beginning to end, and some show musical details, making the show full and enjoyable.
The quality of the three weeks after the throwing inner point ice, the front inner spiral, and the three weeks after the throwing outer knot ring is extremely high, but the male companion is somewhat cautious when reflexively Lasotto lifts; the decisiveness between the two paragraphs of the choreography step can be more fancy, and finally the double rotation is a little discouraged, and the end of the shape is also waiting for the music. Technology 77.00 / program content 73.97, free skating 150.97, total score of 227.23 won the bronze medal.
The Georgian group Safina/Berurava, who ranked sixth in the short program, although there were three consecutive jumps on the back outer ice and three weeks of single jumps in the rear inner ring, there were ice fall errors that affected the base and execution points, but they actually had a small victory over the top three in terms of sliding, articulation and even musical coordination!
The super difficult lift is unforgettable
The quality of twisting and throwing is remarkable, especially when the male partner slides on one foot and the one-arm unsupported support when the reflexive Lasotto lifts, the female partner still has extremely difficult posture control, so that the commentary is directly commented on as "very powerful" after the performance! Technology 62.30 / program content 5982, free skating 122.12, the total score of 184.05 rushed to the fourth.
The Italian duo Giraldi/Abrosini, which ranked fourth in the short program, finished in free skating at 116.14 (technical 56.40/ program content 59.74) due to errors in including two sets of single jumps, twists and one throw, and ranked fifth with a total score of 178.90.
