The 24-year old Financial enters also in the history of the track turkish: & egrave; was the first athlete to win an international competition on the ice of Yenisehir Ice Arena. It seems to have entered a phase of his amazing career. L & rsquo; blue you can not literally pi & ugrave; stop and continues its victorious enterprises. One thing above all: to date (until the 1000 meters of tomorrow) & egrave; took the podium five times out of six attempts seasonal and delete cos & Igrave; definitely the disappointment of the Europeans in January, that & rsquo; have seen no medal in the overall standings. Besides the two achievements on 500 (pi & ugrave; one silver), today said that the 1500 after a second and a third place on the distance in November. Cos & Igrave; after three seasons without success in his distance that brought an Olympic bronze medal in 2014, & egrave; arrived l & rsquo; umpteenth satisfaction.
Saturdays & egrave; was overall pi & ugrave; that positive team led by c.t. Kenan Gouadec. Finally you can & ograve; say that short track is not just blue Arianna Fontana. Witness the Finals joined by three other representatives blues. First Lucia Peretti good to qualify for the & ldquo; & rdquo glides; in 1500 women. But men do not let themselves praying. C & rsquo; & egrave; Glory & ndash; touched, but we are certain that avr & agrave; many other opportunities for redemption - for Tommaso Dotti, fourth in the A Final of the 1000 meters (first series) who gets his best performance in the cup. Good and finalist & ldquo; A & rdquo; even the most & ugrave; expert Yuri Confortola, sixth in & rsquo; last act of 1500. In short, if one part Fountain & egrave; become a guarantee of performance and victories, even the boys and girls trying to follow in the footsteps of the Valtellina. Well the women's relay, yet who qualified for the final A. The men are fighting, but fail to qualify. It will play the pass in the World Final B, tomorrow. But encourages the blue end of the season, that d & agrave; positive feelings pending the & rsquo; pi & ugrave appointment; important of 2015: the World Championships in March.
As usual now, the Fontana wins by force, without a lot of possibilities & agrave; replica. Although this time the win & egrave; arrived in past rounds of 1500. In Final A if he played mostly with the Korean Choi Minjeong and the trio Canadian St-Gelais, Maltais and Boutin. After starting Arianna remains in the top positions and takes care of the phenomenal Asian champion over the distance, capable of doing the & Igrave; gait along with the Japanese Sakai. L & rsquo; blue & ograve follows; the train of Kim Boutin, that breaks the plunge and moved into the lead. L & rsquo; blue comeback and dates back to the second position to -4. All easy for her, when she finds a great overtaking on Canadian: a ride to & rsquo; outside that does not allow replies. The final time & egrave; 2 & rsquo; 28 & rsquo; & rsquo; 590 and precedes the two distinctly Canadian Marianne St-Gelais & ndash; silver photo finish - and compatriot Boutin, third.
In the same distance there were disengaged very well the other two blue. Lucia Peretti comes fourth in Final B, after finishing fourth in the semifinal won by Fontana. The same semi-final in which he dueled for fourth place with the third Italian, Arianna Valcepina. Quest & rsquo; last fished out after being returned to the board this morning. In the final standings will close 12th and 16th respectively.
Nell & rsquo; other women's race of the day, Elena Viviani says goodbye to the semifinals of the first series of the 1000 meters, not without having played his cards against opponents of rank. The 22 year old is unable to overcome the obstacle of the quarter, eliminated from the leader on the distance Shim Suk-hee and the Canadian Geneve B & eacute; langer. L & rsquo; & Italian to get ograve; the best finish in Cup and seasonal & egrave; Twelfth. L & rsquo; another Italian in the race, Federica Tombolato, was engaged in the repechage of the morning. The pi & ugrave; young blue patrol in Turkey suffers for & ograve; a disqualification and & egrave; twenty-fifth in the final ranking. The Finale A if l & rsquo; & egrave; Elise Christie won in front of the Canadian Kasandra Bradette and Korean Shim Suk-hee, gi & agrave; safe distance of the cup.
Notes pi & ugrave; that positive by the excellent Thomas Dotti, who grazes his first podium in the World Cup. The young skater of the Golden Flame & egrave; A fourth in the Final of the 1000 meters men (first series). An excellent result for him, capable of playing up to & rsquo; last lap a podium finish with the best specialists on the distance this season.
The race of Lombard & egrave; courageous, remains glued to Sin Da Woon, third at the finish line, for most of the race. Then undergoes then overtaking Wu Dajing. But the Chinese the brakes all & rsquo; s mouth & rsquo; last round. A slowdown that prevents Dotti to remain in close contact with the Russian Semion Elistratov, winner in the sprint on & rsquo; former Cup leader Sjinkie Knegt and the Korean Sin third but more & ugrave; distanced. A fourth encouraging for Dotti, not only for his best career result, but also to overcome the difficult path to reach the final. Dotti was attentive and quick in the quarterfinals they had seen the disqualification of a bigwig like Kwak Yoon-Gy & ndash; in a fight to the limit always with Wu Dajing. The Chinese still in the running for the title over the distance, & egrave; damaged by the Korean, loses ground and l & rsquo; blue & egrave; did well to fit at the right time.
In the semifinals & egrave; alongside samples acclaimed as Sin Da Woon, Charles Hamelin & ndash; out - and Wu Dajing. A really difficult race during which the 21 year old Milan remains focused and in the wake of the best shut & agrave; fourth behind Wu, Sin and Hamelin, but sar & agrave; fortunate in gaining the first Final A & ndash; advanced by the jury - the distance because & eacute; damaged decisively from Latvian Roberto Putikis.
In the same race, gi other Italian Massimo de Gurini Cassinelli and Andrea are placed respectively in the final standings at the 31st and 32nd place.
The 1500 meter men see the best finish of the season Confortola, good at coming in seventh place: his best result in the last four years. L & rsquo; athlete of Forestry & egrave; was good and lucky in the semifinals, for & ograve ;. He set on his head to make the & rsquo; gait with good personality & agrave; in battery with Victor An, remains in the wake, but & egrave; forced to lose ground after the battle with strokes of the shouldered too aggressive Dutchman Daan Breeuwsma. Will slide & agrave; in fifth position, but l & rsquo; s action & rsquo; oranje will come & agrave; rightly punished by the judges. And the 28-year old havana Bormio cos & Igrave; in Final A.
A final in which the two qualified Chinese dominate, scoring twice at & rsquo; arrival: triumphs of Han Tianyu What Dequan, first and second all & rsquo; arrival. And the Russian Victor An relegate to the third position. Yuri moves well in the early laps, without & ograve; able to follow the best after the & rsquo; acceleration of Han arrived in the last two laps. L & rsquo; blue & agrave shut; seventh.
L & rsquo; another blue engaged in the semifinals & ndash; the second in order of time & ndash; & Egrave; David Viscardi, bravo to rise in the main draw after the repechage. The Milan is not decisive and the flicker & egrave; fifth in the race won by Chen Dequan. It piazzer & agrave; in fifteenth place overall.
In closing the afternoon, c & rsquo; & egrave; still time to celebrate the relay women, that goes on with the second place in the semifinals. A Fontana, Peretti Viviani and Valcepina just get behind the Canada & ndash; cos & Igrave; as happened in the Finale At last week & ndash; and find a qualification not without risk, thanks to a final recovery of Arianna Fontana, after a period in which the Italians had lost the position of Russia. Things and the gap & egrave; bridged seven laps from the end. Used to & ograve; the decisive pass the Fountain on the European vice-champion Sofia Prosvirnova, to ensure the next round and a new final tomorrow with the superpowers China and Korea.

Committed against the battleships Total Russia and Korea & ndash; pi & ugrave; Kazakhstan & ndash; Blues arrive in a puff from qualifying. For three laps to take second place to the detriment of the Koreans, only to suffer the controsorpasso shortly after the & rsquo; s start & rsquo; last round. Close quarters, but it & ndash; aided by the non-passage of the British Final A - can still hope for a qualification for the World Cup. L & rsquo; s requirement & rsquo; & egrave Italy; to win the & ldquo; & rdquo glides; hoping to distance of at least two positions Britain. Difficult undertaking.
