World Games 2017 - Day Two

World Games 2017 - Day Two

The tournament in figure skating on rollers in the framework of the World Games of 2017 ended and the Italian figure skaters took all four "gold", adding to them two "silver". In other words, they took the maximum possible number of medals for six representatives. But first things first.

A long program of singles remained outside the broadcast, but there was the first of the non-readers of the World Games of 2017. Argentinean Juan Francisco Sanchez, who got to the substitution tournament and was the fifth on the basis of the short program, took and won the bronze medal. And the Portuguese referee Pedro Oliveira even identified him for second place in the long program. Gold was predictably taken by Luca Lucaroni from Italy, who again far outstripped the "silver" Frenchman Pierre Meriel.

1. Luke Lucaroni (Italy) - 389.900

2. Pierre Meriel (France) - 348.200

3. Juan Francisco Sánchez (Argentina) - 334.800

4. Sergio Canales (Spain) - 327.000

5. Sebastian Oliveira (Portugal) - 320.800

6. John Burchfield (USA) - 314.400

7. Marcus Lell (Germany) - 273.300



Translation of women's single skating also began a little not at first, but with the hire of Colombian Natalie Otalora, the third figure skater in the first warm-up of the two. What is happening to her now is incomprehensible. Figurist, after all, is good, strong, the program is good, but the rental, unfortunately, did not work ... Although American Courtney Donovan ahead of her, she was able and became the seventh in the amount of two rentals. Portuguese figure skater Daniela Sardinia skated pretty, could avoid gross mistakes, but until the level of struggle, the podium is not enough. However - she is still very young and, I think, will progress.

The second warm-up was started by the current world champion, which was the second after the short program. And Sylvia Nemesio rolled back like a champion, even though there was a small spot on the path of footsteps. In the rest - a wonderful technical hire and a well-deserved gold medal. This medal could go not to Italy, but to Spain, but the most experienced Monica Jimeno Coma herself gave it - the fall, two touchdowns on her hands and all her more advantage after the short program evaporated along with the only chance to leave Italy without gold.

Fallen and a young Brazilian Raphael Freitas, which this season debuts in adults. Most likely - it was nerves because at stake was a bronze medal, which also claimed the experienced Argentinean Elizabeth Soler. But Soler had a lot of Freitas retained a third place and a bronze medal. Speaking of the rental of Rafinha, as it is called in Brazil, it can be assumed that it adapts faster than anyone to the refereeing sister of RollArt, which will be introduced next year - already in its program, there were notable references to this refereeing system, in particular - a jump with raised Hands. And in general, it seems to me that Rafinha is able in the near future to impose an Italian struggle for medals of the World Cup. If it continues to progress at such a pace, naturally.

Rafael Freitas (Brazil)

1. Silvia Nemesio (Italy) - 376.300

2. Monica Jimeno Coma (Spain) - 370.800

3. Rafael Freitas (Brazil) - 325.100

4. Elizabeth Soler (Argentina) - 320.400

5. Daniela Sardinha (Portugal) - 302.000

6. Francisco Cabrera (Chile) - 291.600

7. Natalie Otalora (Colombia) - 287.300

8. Courtney Donovan (USA) - 281.600

In the competitions of dancers, following the results of compulsory dance, the six participants of the tournament divided into two "leagues" - in one both Italian duos and the Portuguese shared medals, and in the other, the remaining three duets solved their local tasks. However - and the last three duos showed quite decent rentals. Especially worth noting Colombian duo Marcela Cruz - Leonardo Parrado and dressed "by Stendhal" in the red and black Americans Mackenzie Bradshaw - Anthony DeLyuk.

Well, the section of medals ended with a double of Italian duets. Of course, the Portuguese Mariana Soutou - Jose Soutou - well done, showed a beautiful dance in snow-white suits, but Silvia Stibil - Andrea Bassi were stronger, albeit with a small margin. Well, the champions of the World Games in 2017 were the current world champions Elena Leonie - Alessandro Spigai. Deservedly and without options.

Elena Leoni - Alessandro Spigai (Italy)

1. Helena Leoni - Alessandro Spigai (Italy) - 191.300

2. Silvia Stibil - Andrea Bassi (Italy) - 185.000

3. Mariana Soutou - Jose Soutou (Portugal) - 183.300

4. Mackenzie Bradshaw - Anthony DeLuca (USA) - 161.900

5. Marcela Cruz - Leonardo Parrado (Colombia) - 155.600

6. Isalin Diba - Guillaume Wagner (France) - 146.700

And, finally, sports couples. And again Rebecca Tarlazzi - Luca Lucaroni. This time they performed a variation on the theme of the soundtrack from the movie Schindler's List (but without a red coat) and performed perfectly, although there was a fall on the doubled spin with the passage, one of the most difficult elements in pair skating on rollers. In the rest - a fine hire, the next portion of magic on rollers.

To match the world champions and the new world champions of the World Games, Sarah Venerucci - Marco Garelli - performed, but the gap was great and these experienced and very titled athletes took only "silver". "Bronze" was taken away by the cute Frenchmen Marin Porte - Nathanael Fulua, who was in the competition for the replacement.

On the first workout, you can paraphrase a famous song from the movie "Seventeen Moments of Spring" - Falls, falls, falls ... All three couples fell and fell, alas, a lot. Especially sorry for the beautiful Colombians Carolina Otalore - Juan Manuel Lemus Morales. The program at them very stylish, beautiful suits and I hope, that at the world championship they will execute it purely and will show the level.

1. Rebecca Tarlazzi - Luca Lucaroni (Italy) - 377.900

2. Sara Venerucci - Marco Garelli (Italy) - 362.900

3. Marin Porte - Nathanael Fulua (France) - 330.100

4. Camelia Sherifi - Tom Picard (France) - 297.600

5. Carolina Otalora - Juan Manuel Lemus Morales (Colombia) - 287.300

6. Tong Wen-Tseng - Chien Chia-Shen (Taiwan) - 252.600

Carolina Otalora - Juan Manuel Lemus Morales (Colombia)

Competitions of figure skaters at the World Games have ended, and very soon, on July 29, the Italian Rohan will start the European Championship.
