In individual field, the best results come from blue Yuri Confortola and Nicola Rodigari (ninth and tenth in 1500) and Elena Viviani (14th in 1000).
Surprises, confirmations expectations and satisfaction combined with bitter disappointments for the colors in the & rsquo; last part of the afternoon devoted to German couriers. First they go out to surprise the superfavorite female Canada and Korea, who undergo penalty in the first of two semifinals, giving the green light to Hungary and Japan for the Final A of tomorrow. The Italian quartet Arianna Valcepina, Cecilia Maffei, Elena Viviani and Arianna Fontana does not miss the & rsquo; goal.

Regains second place in the 7 Russian damages from the back end and closed with a good safety margin in first place in 4 & rsquo; 10 & rsquo; & rsquo; 291. He decides the valuable and convincing overtaking a concentrated, fast and at last found on Arianna Fontana ice, hunting back Asian fractionist. Italian girls find themselves cos & igrave; a Final A after nearly a year & ndash; l & rsquo; last time they were fourth in Erzurum in & rsquo; last round of last season - waiting. And tomorrow will challenge & agrave; re Russian, together with Hungary and Japan. The podium & egrave; a concrete goal. And dream about something more & ugrave; can memorize options be in the blades of a team with the & rsquo; trump Fontana.
If the good news coming from the girls, do not go so well for the boys. They are unlucky males who say goodbye to dreams of Finale A after a very good and fast performance ended bitterly against the mattress protectors on the track in the climax. Yuri Confortola, Thomas Dotti, Nicola Rodigari and Andrew Cassinelli, fresh from brilliant quarter-final with Italian record, traveling at high rates in tow of Canada of Hamelin brothers. It all adds up to 7 laps to go, when the Elistratov Russia attacks and takes the position to the detriment of Italian. At least two, at dell & rsquo; last change, go to ground and Cassinelli Confortola (who was pitching for the & rsquo; last sprint). There will be no penalties for any team. Cos & Igrave; l & rsquo; last fractionist Russians remains standing and qualify along with Canada (6 & rsquo; 43 & rsquo; & rsquo; 363). Blue end their test in 6 & rsquo; 59 & rsquo; & rsquo; 659, exceeded inevitably also from France. They close in the final rankings to sixth place, giacch & eacute; The Final B not be held & agrave; because of contemporary criminalization & ndash; in the second semi-final & ndash; the Netherlands and Kazakhstan.
The afternoon all & rsquo; EnergieVerbund Arena also gave a historical moment for the short track. Viewers celebrate a world record when the board shows the message one & rsquo; 22 & rsquo; & rsquo; 607. The 1000 meters have a new pi & ugrave man; Fast surpassing the previous record of 1 & rsquo; 23 & rsquo; & rsquo; 007 Kwak Yoon-Gy, built in Calgary in 2012. The new record holder & egrave; the extraordinary semion elistratov finding evidence fairytale. All this comes in the quarterfinals, accomplices also the Chinese Song and Korean Kim race pipelines that make quick race. The new champion d & rsquo; Europe & ldquo; overall & rdquo; Elistratov their remains glued, exceeds both the -3 laps to go and places a & rsquo; crazy acceleration that led him to break the record with apparent simplicity & agrave ;. In the finals to assign the victory, the show adds protagonists as Canadians Charle Cournoyer and especially the World vice-champion in office Charles Hamelin. The fight for the podium & egrave; all between them. And Hamelin takes advantage of a slow first part of the race to take the lead: the original 31 year old in the Qu & eacute; bec & egrave; good at closing every chink in semion elistratov that you have to settle for second place ahead of Cournoyer. For the Canadian champion comes the 37th individual career victory, which memorize options It does not allow him to overcome Elistratov tops the list of specialty & agrave ;.
Davide Viscardi, anch & rsquo; he only qualified to the quarterfinals of the 1000, it is deleted after a long race chase group led by Nikisha, then slipped to & rsquo; last round of Fathoullin and Iwasa for the speech-qualification. L & rsquo; blue finishing fifth in 1 & rsquo; 25 & rsquo; & rsquo; 931, away from the first two positions and closed by the Russian Shulginov during & ldquo; hot & rdquo; of the race. A shame because & eacute; opponents combined in the quarterfinals at & rsquo; blue were potentially within his reach. The Milan will square cos & igrave; 20 & deg; in the final ranking on 1000.
In previous repechage Thomas and Andrea Dotti Cassinelli & ndash; two of the veterans of the blue bracket by yesterday's record & ndash; They had been unable to complete the comeback to the main draw while coming up all & rsquo; last act. Dotti, registered with the Police Force, lost 43 cents to the duel for first place & ndash; and subsequent readmission & ndash; with the Chinese Shao Shuai. Same fate for the Turin Cassinelli, according to 76 cents from & ldquo; & rdquo promoted; Thibaut Fauconnet. They will be the 21st and 22nd in the final ranking on the hotel respectively.
Any regrets for Elena Viviani. L & rsquo; unique blue which yesterday passed the Preliminaries in km grazes the next round in the quarterfinals of the 1000 meters. The Valtellina, to memorize options ;, does not find the gear shift and space to gain positions during the first 8 of the 9-lap race. It finishes third in 1 & rsquo; 32 & rsquo; & rsquo; 259, not making full use of the crash of the Korean Lee Eun-Byul & ndash; It brings with him the Canadian Maltais, then advanced into the semi-finals & ndash; and closes behind the & rsquo; Hungarian Petra Jaszapati and the French Veronique Pierron, that is only 62 cents from & rsquo; Italian. The 23 year-old of yellow flame came in at fourteenth place overall.
In the morning, however, the repechage rounds had not smiled at the two athletes trained by c.t. Gouadec, Arianna Valcepina and Cecilia Maffei. Both ahead after the first round, they were forced to say goodbye to dreams of returning to the main draw in & rsquo; last and decisive test which boosted the Canadian Jamie MacDonald with Valcepina second and third Maffei. Will close in the rankings, respectively distance 21 ^ and 26 ^.
The Finale A goes to number one favorite Marianne St-Gelais, good at taking the second win of the season & ndash; the first had arrived on 500 - strength, speed & agrave; and intelligence. The almost 25-year old Canadian won in 1 & rsquo; 30 & rsquo; & rsquo; 717 and puts his neck a gold cup for the 13th time in his career. The companion of Charles Hamelin precedes clearly the Chinese Tao Jiaying (1 & rsquo; 31 & rsquo; & rsquo; 204) and the Hungarian baby class in 1998, the first podium of his career, Petra Jaszapati.
Nice try by Yuri Confortola struggling on par with the big Knegt, Zakharov and Fran & ccedil; ois Hamelin in the first of the three semi-finals of the 1500 (first series). After l & rsquo; balance in the early stages, l & rsquo; oranje 2015 world champion makes the vacuum to -3 and s & rsquo; flies solo. Behind him, l & rsquo; blue only touches the pass to the final attacking Hamelin in & rsquo; latest round. The effort did not premier & agrave; for pennies. The 29ene Bormio closes in 2 & rsquo; 16 & rsquo; & rsquo; 982 against 2 & rsquo; 16 & rsquo; & rsquo; 945 Canadian. But the bearer of Forestry still earns a good access to the & ldquo; end part & rdquo ;.
In Final B had also qualified Nicola Rodigari, bravo to confirm the & rsquo; excellent form after a difficult start to the season. L & rsquo; 34 year old expert Valtellina reaches fourth & ndash; 2 in & rsquo; 18 & rsquo; & rsquo; 868 & ndash; in the semi-final won by Jiwon Park, Liu Shaolin Sandor and Samuel Girard, all of the highest world-class athletes. L & rsquo; blue & egrave; good at keep themselves safe from the battle and take advantage of the penalty inflicted to the Russian Migunov.
In Final B with blue duo and many other athletes of the first internationally as Krueger and Girard, Confortola and Rodigari well disengage and are in the heat of competition for the top places. But & egrave; Lepape the French to make a difference: Quest & rsquo; last try to run away to win the small final and has the best group in 2 & rsquo; 32 & rsquo; & rsquo; 267. Behind him the brawl breaks out and makes the cost John-Henry Krueger & ndash; penalized. The Azzurri are graded cos & igrave; behind Samuel Girard (Canada) with Confortola third (2 & rsquo; 32 & rsquo; & rsquo; 909) and fourth Rodigari (2 & rsquo; 33 & rsquo; & rsquo; 064).
