The notes come yet extremely pleased by the double promotion for relays blue. The quartets Italian bissano cos & Igrave; the positive goal gi & agrave; reached last week in Nagoya and will try to improve on the seventh & ndash; for women & ndash; and l & rsquo; eighth place in the men obtained the weekend Japanese. For now, the promotions are a great and necessary encouragement to improve both placements and follow the & rsquo; main objective towards qualification for World Cup 2016. In the individual distances Yuri Confortola & nbsp; (in the hole on the cover) confirms warranty Italian, getting two pass 1000 and 1500 meters. Also in 1000 comes the promotion of one of the great hopes of the Italian skating as Tommaso Dotti. While the female spreads her Elena Viviani, directly to the quarterfinals of the 1000, imitated by Arianna Valcepina, definitely good to advance to the quarter of Sunday's 500 meters. For the rest, especially the women, do not get no promotion from the two series of 1500 meters.
Advancing the women's relay formed by Cecilia Maffei, Lucia Peretti, Elena Viviani and Arianna Valcepina. The quartet blue ensures a safe place in the semis finishing second in 4 & rsquo; 18 & rsquo; & rsquo; 595 behind China (4 & rsquo; 16 & rsquo; & rsquo; 753). Decisive & egrave; overtaking on Japan & ndash; then fished out among the best third - & Outdoors; latest round of 3000 meters total. With this promotion the Italian will provide a dowry of important points to defend & ndash; also considering the concomitant elimination of Poland, first pursuer - l & rsquo; eighth place overall, l & rsquo; last valid to qualify for the next World Cup. Tomorrow will compete with Canada, France and China to get one of the two seats available for the A Final on Sunday.
Well even the men who came second in the battery in three against the & rsquo; Netherlands (first 6 in & rsquo; 41 & rsquo; & rsquo; 861) and Britain (eliminated). Tommaso Dotti, Nicola Rodigari, Andrea Cassinelli and Yuri Confortola close second behind the Oranje in 6 & rsquo; 42 & rsquo; & rsquo; 569. With this promotion the Blues certainly earn valuable points in the overall standings on direct rivals Germany, France, Japan, United States and British, all discarded and all before them in the rankings also valid for the world championship qualifiers. L & rsquo; objective & egrave; increase the amount of points in the all-European semi-final tomorrow, where they will be opposed to the Netherlands, Hungary and Russia.
In the individual events soon it proved brilliant Elena Viviani, who obtained the qualification for the quarter-final of the 1000 meters. The 23 year old Isolaccia secures a place in the round of tomorrow coming second behind the Korean Shim Suk-hee in his heat. 1 & rsquo; 36 & rsquo; & rsquo; 325 his time, after making the decisive pass on the French Aur & eacute; lie Monvoisin sixth of the 9 rounds distance. Out instead Cecilia Maffei, fourth in the battery which promoted Elise Christie and Walter White and Federica Tombolato, in his last test. Both will have to go by the repechage tomorrow.
The first series of 1500 m & ndash; with the final on Saturday & ndash; is not serious; It was lucky for the Italian colors. Arianna is Lucia Peretti Valcepina that have been squeezed out of the running for the semifinals in the first battery. The Valcepina finishes in fifth place (2 & rsquo; 31 & rsquo; & rsquo; 155) in the test which promoted in & rsquo; Minjeong order Choi (Korea) Namasthee Harris-Gauthier (Canada) and Evgeniya Zakharova (Russia). Sar & agrave; back on track for the repechage. Worst fate for the Peretti, until now always present in the semi-finals on the away pi & ugrave; long program. The 25-year-Bormina runs into a disqualification that precluder & agrave; even the doors for access to the board of the repechage.
After the two rounds of the Preliminary and Batteries valid to establish the framework of the quarter-finals of the 500 meters, c & rsquo; & egrave; only one & rsquo; blue gi & agrave; certain to compete in the quarterfinals on Sunday. It is Arianna Valcepina, excellent battery in the third won by Elise Christie before Kasandra Bradette. The Financial Valtellina closes its four and a half laps in 44 & rsquo; & rsquo; 440. Time fast enough, which allows it to be the fourth & ndash; and last & ndash; between fished that finish in third place in the final five batteries. Unfortunately for Elena and Federica Viviani Tombolato. The two Italian skaters, can not overcome the & rsquo; last hurdle despite being advanced after the Preliminaries. The Viviani can not find the cue decisive for position and must bow & Outdoors; Chinese Olympic & ndash; and great favorite for success & ndash; Fan Kexin, the Russian Ekaterina Konstantinova and French Selma Poutsma. Tombolato, however, ended in fifth and last place the battery from won & rsquo; Dutch Lara Van Ruijven.
The women's 1,500 meters confirmed tricky away & ndash; for now & ndash; Weekends in Chinese. Cos & Igrave; as happened in the first battery, the second series does not bring joy to the Italian skaters. Cecilia Maffei and Lucia Peretti fail to qualify for the semi-finals on Saturday after the batteries that promoted the first three arrived. The veteran Maffei comes fifth in his heat in 2 & rsquo; 28 & rsquo; & rsquo; 946. The Peretti remains in the fight for promotion until mid & agrave; race, only to be overtaken by rivals shut & agrave; sixth. They go Tao Jiaying, Maltais and Heidum.
For boys of Gouadec arrived three steps on duty, in total, in the individual events of the men. The blue border on the & rsquo; en plein of promotions in the 1000 meters. Batteries smile in fact two drivers out of three Italians: namely Yuri Confortola and Tommaso Dotti. The first earns a place in the quarter-final tomorrow finishing third & ndash; last place useful for qualification & ndash; behind the North American Patrick Duffy and Cole Krueger. Dotti, instead, & egrave; good and attentive and ends anch & rsquo; he third in his heat won by Semen Elistratov & ndash; Past Winners Cup on away & ndash; on & rsquo; Hungarian Viktor Knoch. Will have & agrave; forcibly move the repechage Davide Viscardi, excellent tenth week ago in Nagoya on 1500. The Milan does not go beyond the fifth (time of 1 & rsquo; 28 & rsquo; & rsquo; 405) in the second and decisive round won by the strong Chinese Shi Jingnan (1 & rsquo; 27 & rsquo; & rsquo; 671) in front of Artem Kozlov (Russia), Pierre Boda (Australia) and Aaron Tran (USA).
The 1500 promoting one blue to the semifinals, after the dispute of the batteries in both series. In the first, Nicola and Andrea Rodigari Cassinelli fail to go through. Nearly promotion Rodigari third & ndash; They passed the first two finishers & ndash; behind Jiwon Park (Korea) and the 18 year-old Ren Ziwei (China). The sixth Cassinelli (2 & rsquo; 17 & rsquo; & rsquo; 613 behind & ldquo; & rdquo promoted; Ma Wei, Fran & ccedil; ois Hamelin and Yoshinaga) the obbligher & agrave; the repechage to return to the board.
Excellent signs come in the second series, which sees Yuri Confortola fly directly into the semi-finals after a good test in the batteries. The 29 year-old Bormio get a qualification with great personality & agrave ;. & Egrave; second, without risking behind champion Charles Hamelin (2 & rsquo; 14 & rsquo; & rsquo; 709 time Canadian). Yuri closes behind him 164 cents, leaving behind & eacute; the fight for the third and last place available for the semi-finals, went to Pierre Boda. So Confortola reached for the fourth time this season the semifinals in his favorite distance. They are not as fast and lucky Davide Viscardi and Tommaso Dotti. Both end up out of contention for the semifinals and will start direct from the repechage. Viscardi finished third in his heat in less than half a second from qualifying. Products must bow in & rsquo; order to Elistratov, Chen Guang Chun and Kim Joon. The first two are advanced.
No Italian sar & agrave; at the start of the quarter-finals of the 500 meters. Eliminated Andrea Cassinelli, fourth in the battery won by Samuel Girard, will have & agrave; necessarily pass by shifts recovery on Sunday. While Nicola Rodigari not kicked off of the Preliminary and not potr & agrave; cos & Igrave; be at the start of the repechage.
