Precision and Show listings/placings completed. |

Apologies for the
extended delay in adding the results for the Precision and show
events, both of which were spectacular - especially the show groups
and the winning team 'Animal Instinct'. Wow.. And for the many who
wrote and complained, apologies also. I haven't been able to located
the results sheets until now as they were not added to the official
site either.

Round
1 to RIVA.. + Romano takes home the gold..
|
|
The MEN'S short
program last night was SPECTACULAR to say the least with outstanding
performances from at least 85% of the field. Roberto Riva
skated a flawless program, including his triple lutz-loop-triple
loop-loop-triple loop combination to snatch the lead ahead of D'Alisera.
The skate off was intense and the crowd went absolutely wild for the
three Italian men. Andrea Barbieri raised the bar early in the field
taking the lead with one of the highest triple loops I have ever
seen! Mariano from Argentina skated a great short that was a
hit with the crowd, leaving him in 5th ahead of Segovia and
behind Arriola. In the ladies, Romano took the floor,
opened with triple loop and then blitzed the competition, which only
appeared to be between her and Sanchez, the rest of the field
were leaps and bounds behind. Esposti and Zanforlin
held the lead and took home the gold in the pairs with Italy 1, 2
and 3... In the O.D, Bornati took an unexpected fall right at
the end of their program that has seen them remain in 3rd, its now a
case of who wins the Freedance, will win - it is that close! Tonight
is going to be amazing and the excitement will be felt in the air,
RIVA, D'Alisera and Baribieri are certainly the stars of this show! |

Seniors up and running.. |
|
Last night proved to
be a show stopper with the battle between Tanja Romano (current
world champion) and Spain's technical master of the triple jumps,
Laura Sanchez, who opened with a brilliant double axel, followed
by an awesome Triple flip-loop-euler-triple salchow combination..
and if that wasn't enough, an amazing triple lutz followed that!
Sanchez was on fire and while she skated 2nd, she still held first
place until Romano took the floor who missed th opening double axel
and completed a triple flip, and a triple toe-loop-triple toe
combination. Her program was spectacualr, choreographed by Sandro
Guerra, and she held the lead 5 judges to 2. Mayra Ramos
of Brazil was the surprise package who blitzed the competition and
came in 3rd. Argentina's former world junior champ, Noemi Coronel
graced her way in to 5th after a few problems in the warm up with
the floor (who isnt having trouble with the floor). The top ten is
made up of a mix of skaters from Italy, Spain, Brazil, Argentina and
the USA with Abagail Burris slipping in to 8th after a strong
performance. Andrea Barbieri and Irene Nardo (personal
faves) opened the event with one of the highlights of evening, their
program was amazing and are holding a strong 2nd. Current world
champs Esposti and Zanforlin hold the number one spot
despite one judge opting to place them third behind the two other
Italian teams. Marzocchini and Fabbri will be pushing
Barbieri and Nardo for 2nd, the battle will be on. There was
another highlight in the pairs with the Colombian team of Juan
Lemus and Carolina Otalora skating their butts off and
holding a strong 5th ahead of Americans and German teams. US Team
Orcutt and Hines is holding 4th. The mens event is
tonight, the one we have all been waiting for along with the ladies
long program. In the men's figures yesterday afternoon, Kyle
Turley was the surprise winner ahead of multiple world champion,
Frank Albiez who was easily leading the first figure. Turley
is also contesting the dance event. See the updated results in the
Senior section with all short program and figure results to date.

Slow
updates.. |
|
Updates are still
some what of a problem, being the access via this cafe isn't
allowing me to upload correctly, so please be patient while the
results come through! Anyways, the Senior meet is up and running and
the Ladies figures was contested this morning with Cristina
Giuliamini taking the gold. Meanwhile, back at the training
venue things are heating up between Luca, Riva and a strong field of
guys all vying for the top 5 or 6 positions. More on that soon!

Tragedy hits US Team..
|
|
Tragedy struck the
US Team and members of the Peck family on Saturday
evening following the competition when the young brother of US Pairs
skater, Anthony Peck, was struck down by a car, and killed,
when walking with his family back to the hotel. Tears were shared
with the family members who were present at the medal presentation
lastnight when Anthony courageously took the stand to accept his
bronze medal. A minute of silence was held in memory of the young
boy who was taken so suddenly. Our deepest sympathies to all the
family members, US Team and friends. |

out.. and in..
|
|
Unfortunately, two
inline skaters have withdrawn from the event and will not be
replaced by reserve skaters. Sean Arisco (USA) and Leo
Plisko (CRO) will not be skating. Brittany Stewart has also
withdrawn from the Junior ladies freeskating and will be replaced by
Brooke Fries from the USA. Further more, from Argentina
there appears to be more uncertainty as to whether or not Daniel
Ariolla will make it to Rome, already Noemi Coronel and Luis
De Mattia have recently announced they will no longer be
attending.
