L & rsquo; last time for the fourth CITY Japan was in December & nbsp; 2012 & nbsp; and was also & nbsp; the & rsquo; last chance & nbsp; where the world circuit Senior peeped in & nbsp; Earth Japan.
So it starts from & rsquo; East, after two trips Canadians & ndash; in Montr & eacute; and the Toronto & ndash; who opened the season last November. The program will develop Nagoya & agrave; along with the usual three days of races. In Friday & Igrave ;, dedicated exclusively to the preliminary rounds will be played in & rsquo; order batteries of 500 (first series), 1500, 1000, the second series of 500 meters. Following on the ice will drop the relay. Saturdays will assign & agrave; the first successes of individual 500 and 1500 meters (both for women than for men), while Sunday will see & agrave; get on track contenders to win the second set of 500, 1000 and the final of the team event. In Nagoya the distance will double agrave ;, & sar & agrave; So that more & ugrave; short of the whole program, so & Igrave; as it happened in Toronto, during the last stage.
L & rsquo; Italy's c.t. Kenan Gouadec & egrave; arrived in Asia with 10 athletes. Five women (Cecilia Maffei, Lucia Peretti, Federica Tombolato, Arianna and Elena Valcepina Viviani). A novelty & agrave; than double the Canadian commitment, it falls within blue Federica Tombolato. L & rsquo; Tyrolean class of 1994 had played his last Cup in the stage of closure of 2014-15, in Erzurum (Turkey). In that & rsquo; occasion also got his best individual result, when he was 19th on the 500 meters. There will be five men also competing in Japan. Defend the colors blue Andrea Cassinelli, Yuri Confortola, Tommaso Dotti, Nicola Rodigari and Davide Viscardi. The young Marco Giordano, after the first & ndash; Positive & ndash; Double experience among Seniors in Canada, not & egrave; It was summoned to the commitments in Asia. L & rsquo; main goal for the Blues, orphans always Arianna Fontana, & egrave; to try to reach the Finals A. Impresa difficult, born to a single Italian Canadians in two stages: Davide Viscardi, which closed in the eighth finals of 1500 in Toronto. The best result of a & rsquo; Italian & egrave; still to Arianna Valcepina, she eighth & ndash; but after playing the Final B & ndash; in 500m in Montr & eacute; al. It expects a lot from & rsquo; reliable Yuri Confortola, so far the most & ugrave; continuous throughout the Italian patrol, always piazzatosi the top 16 in its individual tests between 1500 and 1000 meters. But it needs a change of course above all the couriers. Both males and women, in fact, failed to pass the preliminary rounds in Montr & eacute; and to Toronto. Of compensatory measures which seriously risk to let the Italian quartets outside the top eight in the world that they will earn a pass to the World Cup 2016. The margins of error are significantly thinned and between Nagoya and Shanghai can no longer & ugrave; afford missteps. In Nagoya, the women will try to overcome the battery & ndash; They pass the first two, but it will be fished out the two best third by time - in which they were matched in Hungary, China and Bulgaria. But men, should be received by the top two positions challenging Canada & ndash; fresh from success in & rsquo; last race -, Hungary (on the podium in the first stage as well as & eacute; world silver in office) and Germany: sar & agrave; a & rsquo; a difficult task, but not impossible.
Taking a panoramic globally, c & rsquo; & egrave; to say that the season so far has seen the rule of the Korean team at the women & ndash; 8 wins out of 10, including relay races & ndash; and the Canadian and Chinese men, with five hits and three North American Asians (both have scores victories in the team competitions. In particular and absolute evidence, the two phenomenal Korean Choi Minjeong and Shim Suk-hee: in two have divided all the victories in 1000 and 1500m. For the other, at the individual level, the only hurr & agrave, came from 500, who awarded Marianne St-Gelais in Montr & eacute; to and Britain's Elise Christie in Toronto. So l & rsquo ; objective & ldquo; the rest of the world & rdquo; & egrave; stop the relentless march of Korea.
Among men c & rsquo; & egrave; pi & ugrave; balance. In the 500 meters leads the specialty & agrave; Canadian Samuel Girard, one of the positive surprises of the early season, before the specialist world champion in office on the distance Dajing Wu (China). Surely there will be no duel & agrave; & Ndash; at least over the distance pi & ugrave; short & ndash; Nagoya, because & eacute; Girard will & agrave; Only at the start of 1500 and 1000. Attention & ograve; & Outdoors; other Canadian Charles Hamelin, who won the last 500 played in Toronto that could enliven the challenge with Wu in the first series. The 1,500 are for now the fief of Kwak Yoon-Gy. The South Korean won both races in Canada and leads the Cup in front of the & rsquo; Sjinkie Knegt Dutch and Canadian Patrick Duffy. These will have the opportunity & agrave; to attack his leadership, since not Kwak & egrave; in writing at the start of the race, but it will focus & agrave; on the other distances. In the 1000, however, it will & agrave; the race leader's Cup on away, the Chinese Shi Jingnan, ready to repel the attacks of the pioneers of Canada's Charle Cournoyer and Charles Hamelin.
