In Kolomna, lights and shadows for'' Italy in the World Cup: Double hurr for Valcepina and Confortola. Fountain out in 500

I'm Martina Valcepina and Yuri Confortola the most constant of the blue team in the first day of the final stage of the World Cup in Kolomna. In the appointment Russian who will decide the quotas for the 2014 Sochi Olympics (February 7 to 23), the twenty-one Cepina was the only Italian to make the next round both the 1500 and the 500.

Advanced only on the longer distance, however, Arianna Fontana, weakened flu and got no strength in the third round of heats of the beloved 500. In the 1500s, access to the quarterfinals also Lucia Peretti, while the 500 stops the rush of Elena Viviani. Among males, Yuri Confortola and the brave Tommaso Dotti, already on track to even four days from the nasty fall in the relay on Sunday, fly to the quarterfinals of the 1500's. Nothing to do for Anthony Lobello, but redeems itself readily in the 500, where it qualifies easily in the second round along with Confortola. She had stopped in the preliminaries, however, the stroke of the Milanese David Viscardi. Today it is back on the ice for the batteries with the 1000 meters and above the brackets. In the two team events, if Italy will center a place for the semi-finals, will have the mathematical certainty of being qualified for Sochi. The finals are scheduled for Saturday (1500 and 500) and Sunday (1000 and runners) and will be visible through the official channel of the ISU (http://livemanager.eurovision.edgesuite.net/isu/site/index.html) , with a chance to see even on smartphones and tablets thanks to the app Live +.
