Among the 16 gi & agrave; some to the quarterfinals scheduled for tomorrow there will be & agrave; a & rsquo; Italian. Not Valcepina, fourth in one of the most batteries & ugrave; fastest of the lot. The Valtellina is off cue decisive and closes at 1 & rsquo; 33 & rsquo; & rsquo; 755 behind the overall world champion Choi Minjeong, the Canadian Phaneuf and Polish Patrycja Maliszewska. They start off on the right foot his adventure in the Cup Elena Viviani, which guarantees a place in the quarter (without having to switch from the repechage), finishing second in 1 & rsquo; 34 & rsquo; & rsquo; 044 behind one of the favorites to win, Canada's second-ranked in the final classification of specialty & agrave; a year ago, Marianne St-Gelais.
Unfortunately for the Three blue engaged in qualifying for the first round of the men's 1000 meters.

Preliminaries in the men's 500 meters, none of the three blue is the next round. Mark Giordano can not find the pass to the next batteries, given the presence of two opponents to rank as Wu Dajing (world champion over the distance in Moscow 2015) and JR Celski.

In the second series of the 1000 meters, Lucia Peretti gives the first seasonal smile centering the qualification for the quarter-finals. The 24 year old comes third in the battery won by the Korean Olympic bronze medalist over the distance Shim Suk-hee in front of the German Anna Seidel. His trial, for ograve ;, & makes a difference because & eacute; turning 1 & rsquo; 33 & rsquo; & rsquo; 324 is guaranteed a place among the best four third-placed teams. The second blue ice along 9 laps, Cecilia Maffei, does not go beyond the fourth and last place in their battery Jiaying won by the Chinese Tao. To aspire to the quarter-final on Sunday will have groped a difficult climb in the batteries of repechage.
Male, however, the three blades at the start the only Italian Yuri Confortola won the direct passage to the quarter-finals of the second race of the weekend on 1000. The 29 year-old Canadian of Forestry is a very fast race finishing third behind Samuel Girard Kazakh Nurbergen Zhumagaziyev.

The four skaters in our house, complete the 3000 meters in 4 & rsquo; 17 & rsquo; & rsquo; 714 undergoing overtaking the US and from Polish to du laps from the end.
Clearing & ldquo; & rdquo forced; also for men, who complete the 5000 meters of the race team only to be disqualified and expelled cos & Igrave; from contention to the semifinals tomorrow. Rodigari, Confortola, Viscardi and Cassinelli end out immediately, and pass the turn, in their own battery, the & rsquo; the Netherlands and Britain.
