Krogh fact, despite having already & agrave; won & ndash; although Skating & ndash; in Davos, it was not until today one of the four candidates to house Norway to play for the medals Thursday on Igrave; next. However, this victory should give pause to the technicians, as arrived very easily & agrave ;: Krogh fact, while qualifying with the twenty-fourth time, joking with opponents both in battery in the semifinals, winning then again quite easily the final. For him this & egrave; win number five of his career, the number two in the World Cup races, both obtained in this season. And 100 points earned allow him to take back the leader's red bib specialty & agrave ;, bypassing of 42 lengths our Federico Pellegrino, out in the semifinals. We are sure that it would be a smart move to leave home the number one sprinter in the world?
Krogh go up on the podium with Alex Harvey and Timo Andr & eacute; Bakken. The Canadian, who will have & agrave; defend the bronze medal won in this format in Val di Fiemme, proves in excellent shape, growing from turn to turn up to a fight since the final straight for victory with Krogh. The Norwegian national champion instead took first career podium which you might & agrave; perhaps console him for not calling for Falun, which probably will have & agrave; Quit also Sondre Fossli Turvoll fourth today, and the present state of things, first reserve squadron Norwegian. The framework of the finalists & egrave; completed by the Finnish Matias Strandvall fifth and Russian Alexander Panzhinskiy sixth.
As said, ends in the semifinals & rsquo; adventure Federico Pellegrino. The Val d'Aosta, very lucky to spend his battery, as before s & eacute; Ola Vigen Hattestad falls carrying the companion P & aring; l Golberg, in turn undergoes a tumble that prevents him to play for the & rsquo; the final. For him a tenth place finish in a Sprint in alternating pu & ograve; be categorized as positive, but that does not allow him to defend the classification leadership specialty & agrave ;. Sprint with two still to go, a free technique and classic technique, sar & agrave; difficult for him to recover 42 points Krogh admired today. L & rsquo; another blue qualifier, Maicol Rastelli, is eliminated in battery.
