Pre-Match Information:
Hendrix
Although Belgian veteran Hendrix was second in the short program, because the free skating did not jump around, the difficulty was inherently insufficient, so as long as the three Wolverine Lolita did not make more than two big mistakes, then Russia once again won the European Championship podium after the doubles.
Because in the rhythm dance, the referee put Stepanova/Bukin before the Italian combination Ofard/Fabry, so as long as there is not much wrong, plus Snitsna/Kasarapov, russian ice dance gold and silver is not a big problem.
Women's Singles Free Skating:
Compared with the Grand Prix and all Russia, Valeva's performance today was not good: the rear outer knot ring was extremely stable from entry to slide out, Axel fell at an angle too far from the ice for three weeks and fell, and the high distance and fluency of the back outer point ice for three weeks were breathtaking; after the outer knot ring for three weeks and jumped into the swallow rotation to adjust the performance rhythm, the choreographed pace ended with the combination of the big one word and the swallow, and there was a small shake in the moment when the floating foot fell, fortunately, it was harmless.
After the original plan, the outer knot ring was four weeks after three weeks, due to the rhythm, the second was not clear enough to be invalid, and the entire jump was judged to be a continuous jump from the continuous jump, and the base point and the execution point lost nearly 10 points! Fortunately, after three weeks of ice and three weeks of hooking hands, the turn of the body and the rhythm of "Pollero Dance" are tightly sewn together, and they are full of confidence.
The final two sets of joint spins used difficult practices such as harrier turning over and squatting directly to change the leg to the side, which was convincing from start to finish. The technical score was 94.58/the program content was 75.03, the free skating score was 168.61, and the total score was 259.06 to win the championship.
In the melody of "The Master and Margaret" full of artistic atmosphere, Serbakova can be described as a turnaround battle: after the opening, the inner point ice around the pressure, the angle of falling ice is very correct; the rear inner point ice three weeks and three weeks or three weeks to stabilize the difficulty. Axel's two-week use of the two weeks made it impossible to maximize the foundation, and the choreography was not designed to be designed, and it was not clear where to start (only the swallow step could be determined as the completion point).
The quality of the jump into the swallow rotation is very high, the hook hand three weeks after the outer knot ring three weeks floating; after the inner point ice three weeks after three weeks, hook hand three weeks single jump without flaws; the continuous step floating leg control and center of gravity fluctuation changes are very outstanding, and the last two sets of rotation axis, speed and posture are ideal. It can be said that although there is only one four-way jump, the overall performance of Xiao Qianjin is the best in the whole field. Sure enough, the technology 94.10 / program content 74.27, free skating 168.37, the total score of 237.42 won the runner-up.
Trusova's inside point ice was impeccable after the opening, and the execution was given a breathtaking 4.71! The falling ice around the rear inner ring also has sufficient speed, and the small leg lift increases the ornamentation when sliding out; Axel's two weeks and three weeks as an adjustment rhythm action can be described as a hundred shots, but the rear outer point ice around the starting axis shift and falls. Combined rotation posture standard, the back-up squat posture large word combination and swallow combination choreography step can be better connected.
The hooker's surrounding height is obviously insufficient, he falls and is judged to be demoted; the two hookers jump for three weeks in a row, despite the flurry rhythm, there is still no danger. The next step of the rotation is not very comfortable, did not slide out of the crazy connotation of "Kuila", and finally jumped into the joint turn also has a sense of difficulty, the technology 91.68 / program content 69.55, the free skating score of 159.23, the total score of 234.36 won the bronze medal.
Belgian veteran Hendricks almost lost his front hoof, falling three weeks after three weeks in the opening hook, originally planned to fall on the inner ice after the second time and did not pick up the jump, although he successfully remedied the inner ring in three weeks, he still showed hesitation during the hasty completion. This set of performances received 131.72 (technical 64.28 / program content 69.44), and the total score of 207.97 ranked fourth.
The Polish girl Kulakova successfully completed a set of jump combinations that can be called non-mainstream: three weeks of single ice after the outer point, three weeks of the rear inner knot ring and two weeks of continuous jumping with Axel, three weeks after three weeks of hookers followed by three weeks of inner point ice (generally followed by the inner knot ring), two times after the outer knot ring for three weeks... He finished fourth in the free skate with 137.26 and fifth with a total score of 204.73.
Ice Dance Free Dance:
In the melody of Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2, the opening arc lifting method is not very neat, and the execution points are affected; the consistency of the synchronous twisting step is remarkable, but the male companion affects the grading with the instability of the blade; the small lift and cross-positioning improve the ornamentation of the midline step, the details of the one-foot step are very clear, and the in-situ lifting is full of strength.
The kneeling lunge side blade movement of the arm posture is tightly combined with the violin, and the music variation after the joint rotation becomes a Paganini theme; the choreographed steps are freely waved, and the final turn is full of passion. Technology 72.09 / program content 57.98, free dance 130.07, total score of 217.96 won the championship.
Stepanova/Bujin's opening slide shows the theme of wanting to refuse to meet and love and hate, and the shape of the joint rotation to lift each other's knives is eye-catching; the dance lift enters the twist step, and the second section has a slight slowdown; the diagonal step floating foot rotation and commutation are the highlights, and the rotation lifting speed is not very sufficient.
The squat arrangement twist walking distance is not good, and the arrangement lifts the center of gravity closer to the design of gradually approaching the ice surface, which is just in line with the music. The short axis choreography is put to the final completion, and the affectionate and decisive attitude is also full of determination, which shows the emotional core of "Romeo and Juliet" vividly. Technology 70.31/ program content 56.44, free dance score 126.75, with 213.20 silver.
The Italian duo Gooneld/Fabry used the soundtrack of the film "Atonement" and "Little Sparrow" as the soundtrack, and performed a love lament: the opening small lift entered the joint rotation posture and stretched out brightly; the glide before twisting the step into the entire ice rink axis, and the three paragraphs followed. The openness of the circular continuous step is extremely impressive, and the long lift of the in-situ and rotary combination is a good way to set off the musical atmosphere.
The short axis step emphasizes more artistry, with a small shake in the female companion's body when taking a one-foot step; the final side blade sliding, arc lifting and dance movements are emotionally consistent. A full understanding of music makes the performance unfinished. Technology 69.37 / program content 55.25, free dance won 124.62, the total score of 207.97 won the bronze medal.
In addition to the top three, the Spanish group Smart/Diaz, accompanied by "Moulin Rouge" and "Carmen", seized the opportunity to rush to fourth with a total score of 196.86 (technical 67.15 / program content 52.72, free dance 118.87) despite two small flaws in the twist step and the round step.
The British partner Phil/Gibson, who ranked fourth in rhythmic dance, was almost out of control in the second stage of the synchronous twist step, resulting in a serious loss of execution points, and finally ranked fifth with a difference of 0.85 points.
