So the rewards more & ugrave; important came from 1,500 men, a race where the & rsquo; Italy has placed two athletes in the top 12 positions, very rare event. Final crowded, with eight competitors on the ice ready to play for the podium. Among them, the Korean Kwak first seven days ago in Montr & eacute; al, and three Canadian & ndash; & Ldquo; the & rsquo; & rdquo enfant du pays; Patrick Duffy, Charles Cournoyer and Fran & ccedil; ois Hamelin - ready to cheer the audience in Toronto. Viscardi, individual career best finish, a 15th place in 1500 in Erzurum last season, has disfigured against some of the most & ugrave; strongest skaters in the world.
In the 14-lap Final A for most & egrave; reigned the tactics between the world champion in 2015 Sjinkie Knegt and Duffy, one of the protagonists of & rsquo; last act. At 2 laps from the end attacks Kwak Yoon-Gy. L & rsquo; & egrave Korean action; decisive and enabled him to win in 2 & rsquo; 13 & rsquo; & rsquo; 607 on & rsquo; Dutch Knegt and Fran & ccedil; ois Hamelin, meanwhile good at mock compatriot Cournoyer in the last meters. Davide Viscardi fails to enter & nbsp; in the middle of the battle for the top and closes all & rsquo; eighth and last place (in 2''15 '' '' 962) his first individual final in the Cup. L & rsquo; & egrave wish; that it will return, at most & ugrave; early, similar goals.
The Italian colors were seen in vivo even earlier, in the Final B. Merit Yuri Confortola, which makes up the lead for more than half & agrave; race, blunt the first attacks, but can not to -2 & ograve; nothing against the Kazakh Nurbergen Zhumagaziyev and Chinese Xu Fu. Both the pass and end respectively on the first and second place, then also the Kruger US attacks and Confortola finished fourth partial. Sar & agrave; 12th in the final standings.
In the afternoon it was shared by the three semi-finals, all marked by numerous twists, contacts prohibited and suspensions. Yuri Confortola, brilliant gi & agrave; yesterday in the batteries, and Davide Viscardi, who qualified after the repechage in the morning. Despite finding himself against Duffy, Krueger and Knegt, Confortola leads. Then, the battle rages total with six skaters all very close. They touch the Chinese Zhang Hongchao & ndash; then disqualified - and Krueger, in the next round also marks the Russian Elistratov. And so & Igrave; They remain all alone in front of Duffy, Knegt and Confortola. L & rsquo; & blue can ograve; A fight for the passage in the Final against the world champion Dutch, but can not find an opportunity to groped l & rsquo; attack. Between the two there will be only 99 cents of difference.
Davide Viscardi & nbsp; were & nbsp; from the repechage advanced to create a semi-crowded & ldquo; seven & rdquo; He had qualified for the Final in exploiting speed & agrave; and alertness in a race affected by slips and contacts prohibited. The 24 year old Milan & egrave; He was good and not & egrave; decomposed, he has risked and has accelerated in & rsquo; last lap when & egrave; found on the far end by a back & ndash; meanwhile they go to ground or against the guards, in & rsquo; order the Kazakh Zhumagaziyev & ndash; hampered by Kruger & ndash; Zakharov & ndash; put down & ugrave; the Chinese Han Tianyu & ndash ;. He and Korean Park Jiwon (who sorpasser & agrave; & Outdoors; last breath) fly in final A.
Over the same distance little luck to Nicola Rodigari, who celebrated his 34th birthday today. Is not serious; I managed to find a further satisfaction on track and & egrave; He finished third in his round of repechage 2 & rsquo; 20 & rsquo; & rsquo; 709, & s struggling Igrave ;, but failing to overtake the US Cole Krueger & ndash; winner and perci & ograve; admission to the subsequent semi-finals for the podium & ndash; and Briton Richard Shoebridge.

The Final A rewards the winning sprint of British Elise Christie, good at exploiting the battle with no holds barred between Fan Kexin and the young Polish Natalia Maliszewska, finished both on the ground after the third round.
