Complete a Filotto regal, after the success & ndash; two on the 500 meters between November and last weekend & ndash; and victory in the 1500 yesterday. I mean, if this was to be a soft season, at least in the World Cup, l & rsquo; blue has demonstrated that potr & agrave; put on ice still room for improvement stellar. Individual success number 12 in the cup and a business woman pi & ugrave; in the form of the moment to the next World Championships in Moscow (13-15 March). Best of cos & Igrave; could not close the & rsquo; last leg of the circuit.
The second series of the 1000 meters women (second series of the weekend) thus marks a poker full list d & rsquo; Gold Arianna. The 24-year old falls on the ice with a tranquility & agrave; incredible and does what he does best. Nine laps tactically flawless, accompanied by the usual speed & agrave; and a spectacular recovery, since departed from & rsquo; last box via the A Final, played in seven skaters. Reason? The fall caused in the semifinals by the Korean Choi Minjeong, against just the blue arrow. No problem, no consequence. The Fontana fires right well and retrieve it second behind the Japanese Yui Sakai, the following carefully, checking it. Finch & eacute; to -4 is exceeded by B & eacute; langer and came in third. & Egrave; the time to take the plunge. The signal & egrave; lightning and arrive at least two laps to go, before the Canadian and exceeds all & rsquo; outside of the first corner strikes the Sakai. Do not take the pi & ugrave; because & eacute; its acceleration & egrave; superb, above normal. Arianna clearly wins 1 & rsquo; 33 & rsquo; & rsquo; 415, the runners, the Japanese, & egrave; distant four tenths but still celebrates a new Cup podium since 2012. Third Canadian Kim Boutin.
Previously, as mentioned, the path of Fontana was & ldquo; bumpy & rdquo ;. Had s & Igrave; won the quarter-finals & ndash; in front of the French Pierron - in one & rsquo; 33 & rsquo; & rsquo; 543. Then & egrave; was struck by bad luck and the Korean Choi Minjeong. The 16 year old champion in 1500 tumbling falls to & rsquo; start of the penultimate lap and hit with the high leg l & rsquo; blue that followed in second place. An obvious damage to the & rsquo; blue fortunately not serious, in addition to a contact against the guards, inevitable. Arianna & egrave; rightly advanced by the jury in the Final A.
In the same race, l & rsquo; other blue Lucia Peretti had touched upon re-entry into the main draw and finished second & ndash; passes the Korean Kim Juyjoung in & rsquo; last semifinal of repechage. The Bormina closes in 18th place overall.
The Cup of specialty & agrave; ends instead Shim Suk-hee, strong third place finish yesterday in the first series. The 18 year-old Korean, Olympic bronze medalist on the distance in Sochi, repeating cos & Igrave; the success of l & rsquo; last year.

The world record holder over the distance sprint got the fifth win in the season about 500. L & rsquo; Asian preceded in 43 & rsquo; & rsquo; 009 the 17 year old Sofia Prosvirnova (Russia), the first podium of the individual in the World Cup, and Elise Christie (Britain ).
Well Arianna Valcepina who finished second in the B final of the 500 meters won by Korean Shim Suk-hee and conditioned by the disqualification of Jeon Ji-Soo, depending on the finish but just demoted in favor of & rsquo; blue. For the 21 year old of the Golden Flame is the best result ever achieved in a competition of the World Cup. The Valtellina was advanced first by quarters, thanks to the disqualification of & rsquo; Dutch Yara van Kherkof. In the semi-final with the then victorious Fan Kexin, Sofia Prosvirnova and Kasandra Bradette had finished fourth, taking advantage of the fall of the Chinese Lin Yue.
Cos & Igrave; the other two to the Italian way. Elena Viviani can not get over the quarter-finals after coming third & ndash; passed the first two & ndash; in the race won by Marianne St-Gelais front of Jeon Ji-Soo. L & rsquo; blue is off cue and close to one-tenth of the Korean. Sar & agrave; eleventh in the final standings. L & rsquo; Tyrolean Federica Tombolato, however, failed to qualify after the repechage in the morning. Closes in 18th place overall.
The men's 500 meters was won by surprise & rsquo; Hungarian Viktor Knoch, the first success in career.

After the magnificent fourth place arrived yesterday & ndash; best individual result in career & ndash; achieved by 21 year old Thomas Dotti, l & rsquo; blue fails on a new exploit. It stops in the semi-finals repechage closing, however, with a respectable 18th place in a distance which is certainly not & egrave; his favorite. For him & egrave; However, the best finish in his career on the distance. Ends cos & Igrave; the best Cup weekend. Andrea Cassinelli & egrave; Instead thirty-eighth.
In the second series of the 1000 meters men, l & rsquo; the only Italian who qualified for the quarter-finals & egrave; Yuri was Confortola. The Valtellina surrenders in trial won by Kazakh Denis Nikisha before the Olympic and world champion in 2014 Victor An. L & rsquo; 28 year old expert of the National Italian duels with Chen Dequan & ndash; then suspended for one & rsquo; aggressive action on their own & rsquo; blue - and An, looking l & rsquo; extension in the sixth round, then raise the white flag and & egrave; third in his heat, a position that is not enough for promotion to the semifinals. Sar & agrave; 11th in the overall ranking. David Viscardi ends out in the semi-finals repechage and closes 21th.
In the Final A, which took place under the title gi & agrave; mathematically assigned to Semion Elistratov, celebrates Korean Sin Da Woon. A race in which Victor tiratissima An & egrave; cleverly passed in mid & agrave; path and then rejected in its assaults against the winner. Third you & egrave; placed the Canadian Patrick Duffy. Elistratov, however, capitalized at most the victory of the first series. The 24 year old Ufa, before this season had won only once (in 2011) in the World Cup. Quest & rsquo; year & egrave; finished in front of everyone in three occasions & ndash; two of which are just in the 1000.
