The blue team, led by the Canadian duo formed by Eric Bédard and Kenan Gouadec, will seek to achieve the best condition ahead of the big event in November. Yeah, because this year, the two Asian stages of Shanghai and Seoul (3-6 October) will only be a starter in view of the two captive European weekend of Turin (7-11 November) and Kolomna (14-17 November) , which will assign the crucial points to go to the Games next winter. In that case, in addition to the individual distances, attention must be the relay: only eight teams come off the ticket to Sochi and enter between these means then already be catapulted in the semifinals in five circles, therefore, a step away from the area medals.
The Oriental Sports Mansion, Italy will be represented by the ten athletes who have excelled in Trials earlier this month in Courmayeur. Among women, together with the two stars Arianna Fontana and Martina Valcepina, it's up to Elena Viviani, Lucia Peretti and Cecilia Maffei. In the men, however, there will be Yuri Confortola, the Italian-American Anthony Lobello, Tommaso Dotti, David Viscardi and the welcome return of Nicola Rodigari after a long stop.
Tomorrow we start with the qualifications of the 500 and 1,500 meters, while on Friday will be the turn of the 1000 meters and relays. The finals are scheduled for Saturday (500 and 1500) and Sunday (1000 runners).
