Francesco A. Armillotta
The & nbsp; & nbsp budget blue; the first day of & nbsp; & nbsp World Cup, could be better, not deny it. L & rsquo; Italy of & nbsp; short track - & nbsp; free & nbsp; the star Arianna Fontana - can not & ograve; smile fully after & nbsp; first session & nbsp; of races dedicated to & nbsp; Preliminaries and Drums & nbsp; of the third stage of & nbsp; World Cup ISU, which took place between the night and morning Italian to & nbsp; Shanghai, China.

Out of 22 individual commitments Italian and two relay teams on the ice of & rsquo; Oriental Sports Center of the CITY Asian, evaluation of the team coached by Kenan Gouadec & egrave; on standby, waiting for the repechage between tomorrow and Sunday. Pass the turn only Yuri Confortola that flies directly in the semifinals in his race & ldquo; strong & rdquo; of 1500. Very well Elena Viviani, l & rsquo; only to realize the goals in battery, advancing to the quarter finals of the 500 meters (first and second series). Well even the relay women, qualified for the semi-final tomorrow, while males can not emulate colleagues.
Men all out in the first preliminary of 500 meters (first series): David Viscardi & egrave; third in his race won by Wu Dajing, while Massimo Gurini comes fourth in his trial. Worse goes to Andrea Cassinelli who suffers a penalty payment agrave; that impedir & agrave; access to the repechage tomorrow. Among women, in addition to Viviani promoted, does not pass Arianna Valcepina, fourth and eliminated in batteries 500 first series, preceded by Marianne St-Gelais and Liu Yang, both forwards. L & rsquo; blue despite the value of not opposing & egrave; never been in the running for the next round.
Confortola s & Igrave ;, Rodigari Dotti and no in the preliminaries of 1500. Especially the second fight to win one of two good places for promotion to the semifinals, but & egrave; forced to surrender to the leader of Cup & ndash; Korean Sin Da Woon & ndash; and the 20 year-old Chinese Shi Jingnan. Just quest & rsquo; last relegates him to third place in the third last lap, leaving him then pi & ugrave; half a second. Previously Nicola Rodigari had stopped at the fourth of his series won by & rsquo; Israeli Vladislav Bykanov.
In the second series of 500 women, as anticipated Elena Viviani confirms his good form and its value. The 22 year old Isolaccia brilliantly passed the batteries, guaranteeing l & rsquo; direct access to the quarterfinals on Sunday. The girl under the yellow flame comes second in 46 & rsquo; & rsquo; 091 behind the Korean Olympic and world silver in 1500, Lee Eun-Byul. L & rsquo; the blue gives the position only at & rsquo; last round.
Unfortunately for the other two Italian, Arianna Valcepina and Federica Tombolato. The first & egrave; forced to abdicate to 28 cents too & ndash; the runner - the Polish and Russian Natalia Maliszewska Evgeniya Zakharova, two opponents affordable for the younger sister of Olympic bronze in relay Martina. The pi & ugrave; young Tombolato, however, concludes its fourth battery. We will review both in the repechage rounds.
Recoveries from which pass forcibly men also, on the same distance (second series). The only Yuri Confortola & egrave; came close to direct qualification for the quarter-finals, stopping for & ograve; batteries today. The 28 year old Tirano finished fourth in 42 & rsquo; & rsquo; 326 behind the strong Hongchao Zhang (China), Charles Cournoyer (Canada) and the Russian Mysnikov. Yuri missing third place & ndash; that would guarantee the repechage because of chrono fast & ndash; for little more & ugrave; a tenth. Off both the first preliminary, Massimo and Andrea Gurini Cassinelli (which concludes the proof). Sar & agrave; the repechage only Gurini.
Nothing quarterfinals, at least for now, to Lucia Peretti and Ylenia Tota. The two blue at the start of the 1000 meters women stop in fourth place in their batteries. To be certain of advancing would have to finish at least in second place.
In the men, it ends at the first qualifying round of the race of the three blue. One who & egrave; went pi & ugrave; close to qualifying for the next commitment, & egrave; was the veteran of the team Nicola Rodigari. The 33-year-Tirano finished third in 1 & rsquo; 28 & rsquo; & rsquo; 189 his trial. & Egrave; the first of the excluded third behind winner and world bronze in office on the distance, Park Se-Yeong and young talented & ndash; Class 1997 - and absolute newcomer Russian Denis Ayrapetyan: 42 thousandths will separate them all & rsquo; arrival. Out now also David Viscardi, fourth in his preliminary, and Tommaso Dotti fell. We will try again in the batteries of recovery.
Notes bittersweet for the relay. Goes on just the female. Despite the & rsquo; absence of Arianna Fontana Lucia Peretti, Ylenia Tota, Arianna and Elena Valcepina Viviani ending their second battery and continue their journey in the semifinals tomorrow. 4 & rsquo; 19 & rsquo; & rsquo; 151 and second place for the Italians, who qualify without problems behind the Canadian relay team and front & ndash; with safety and wide margin & ndash; the Bulgarian. Tomorrow will face Canada, Korea and Hungary. A final step in A does not seem prohibitive.
Do not l & rsquo; has done, however, the men's team. Nicola Rodigari, Yuri Confortola, David and Thomas Viscardi Dotti conclude quarters from the battery won & rsquo; Holland in 6 & rsquo; 52 & rsquo; & rsquo; 025. The Oranje win the battery over time pi & ugrave; slow & ndash; also because & eacute; the first to get on the ice Shanghai & ndash; ahead of Japan and Russia. Precisely these are the only third arrived excluded from the repechage of the times. Their 6 & rsquo; 53 & rsquo; & rsquo; 455 & ndash; cos & Igrave; as d & rsquo; moreover, the 6 & rsquo; 53 & rsquo; & rsquo; 617 of the Italian quartet & ndash; & Egrave; higher than 8/2 compared to & rsquo; Hungary, with the team & rsquo; last time trial available for the semifinal. As for the race of the blue, c & rsquo; & egrave; to say that he has not paid a tactic perhaps too wait. They proceeded with the foreign exchange regular, two laps. could be decisive for their World Cup qualifiers in 2015 in Moscow. Their position & ndash; Eighth & ndash; ranking in the season will come & agrave; probably exceeded. But will have the opportunity & agrave; to try again in Seoul next week. The form seems to be turning toward the top and the hopes are good.
As for the competitions singular, c & rsquo; & egrave; to say that the batteries in Shanghai does not have any surprises. The big are all advanced in their respective distances. Even the relay, which in Salt Lake City and Montr & eacute; to have claimed several victims & ldquo; excellent & rdquo; in the early rounds, have not undergone major jolts. Tomorrow we leave with the program. It will assign the titles in the 500 (first series) and 1500 for men and women. Appointment during the night, 4:02 pm with the live stream from the quarter-final.
