In the first final today, the 500 meters, Li Hongshuang found its first victory in the World Cup, just one day after his first podium & ndash; bronze in 1500. Its national grazed the triplet on the podium. Following the winner, at a safe distance, the pi & ugrave; & Ldquo; expert & rdquo; & Ndash; 20 years - Lin Yue.

The winner does not get carried away in the collision, starting at the head and closing without giving anything with chrono 40 & rsquo; & rsquo; 702. His conduct of the race leaves him safe from & ldquo; surprises & rdquo ;. Indeed, behind him ends on the ground Chinese Shi Jingnan & ndash; until the penultimate passing second. Pay l & rsquo; aggressiveness & agrave; Kwak Yoon-Gy. The Korean will come & agrave; then disqualified, as they fought for second place. Behind the winner, then take advantage of the confusion l & rsquo; American John-Henry Krueger, according to the finish and also rated specialty & agrave;) and the Canadian William Preudhomme, surprisingly third.
In the 1000 meters touches all & rsquo; waiting exultation of Charles Hamelin. The Canadian stand it and come back to win a Cup race after a fast which lasted from 17 November 2013, in Kolomna. A & rsquo; abstinence really unusual for him. Cos & Igrave; after too many failed attempts, the Canadian finds its first win of the season. In Final A portfolio.

Relays, the last races scheduled for the weekend of racing all & rsquo; Oriental Sports Centre always reward Korea. Partially obscuring the positive day of the Chinese hosts. The 3000 meters of the female quartet (Noh Hee-Do, Minjeong Choi, Kim and Lee Eun-Byul Alang) are a class of tactics and speed & agrave; the Chinese. Korea first in 4 & rsquo; 08 & rsquo; & rsquo; 831 and 102 thousandths of a second to China detachment, in a final sprint decided to & ograve; in the previous round, with overtaking duties on Chinese. Quest & rsquo; the past had remained in the lead in conducting the & rsquo; pace for almost the entire race. Unnecessarily. In third place is the square Canada.

The result of the North American relegates l & rsquo; Italy & ndash; output battery in earlier rounds & ndash; to ninth place in the general classification. The qualification for the next World Cup & egrave; at risk.
Not & egrave; was very positive & ndash; despite some exploits not materialized - the Sunday of the Italian team Kenan Gouadec. Were four blues engaged in repechage of the second series of 500 meters. Pass brilliantly batteries and quarters Arianna Valcepina and Federica Tombolato.
