Judge 8th At Cup of Innsbruck
Dillon Judge has come eighth in the Senior Men’s event at the Cup of Innsbruck in Innsbruck, Austria this weekend.
Judge had a better showing in his short programme compared to last week’s Denkova-Staviski Cup. He overrotated a triple Lutz, but was able to tack on a double toe loop to make the combination count. He struggled with the landing of a triple flip. He earned positive grade of execution on a Level 2 flying camel spin, but then stumbled out of a double Axel. He ended with a Level 2 change foot combination spin, a Level 1 step sequence and a scheduled change foot sit spin, the latter of which received no value due to not meeting the requirements. He scored 41.45 points and was in seventh place overnight.
The two-time Irish champion was back out on the ice at the TIWAG Arena for the free skating. He began by doubling a planned triple flip and then eked out a triple Lutz. He then tried a double Lutz-double Axel-double Axel sequence falling on the third jump. He got through a Level 3 change foot sit spin and hung on to the landing of a triple toe loop. He followed with a Level 2 flying camel spin and showed resilence by nailing a triple Salchow. He completed his routine with a Level 2 step sequence and a Level 2 change foot combination spin. He posted a score of 78.68 points for the free which gave him a total of 120.13 points.
