Decisive disqualification of Hungarians, first at the end of the 45 total laps, but later ousted by the judges. Go ahead, then, Italians, who in the semifinals will be played either useful places in the Final A against China (team leading the Cup of specialty & agrave;), the United States and Canada. The Blues did not reach the semi-finals from the final stage of last season, in Erzurum. With this result, the quartet blue pu & ograve; earn more precious points in key World Cup qualifying.
Well even women that center with more & ugrave; ease & agrave; the pass, after the first of three qualifying heats to the semifinals. Batteries that rewarded with the promotion the top two pi & ugrave; the two best third. Arianna Valcepina, Elena Viviani, Cecilia Maffei and Lucia Peretti end with ease & agrave; and control in second place, only deferred from China (4 & rsquo; 17 & rsquo; & rsquo; 639 their winning time). The Italians, for most of 3000 meters in second place, close 4 & rsquo; 19 & rsquo; & rsquo; 551 holding very well at bay velleit & agrave; teams of Hungary and Bulgaria, respectively third and fourth & Outdoors; arrival. L & rsquo; in the semi-final match tomorrow will see the & agrave; & Outdoors; work against the same Chinese and pi & ugrave; affordable Russia and France. The next round, to a Final drive is missing from the stage of Cup of Erzurum (February 2015), it does not seem impossible.
In the individual events, the & rsquo; Italy's c.t. Kenan Gouadec & ndash; cha has called 10 athletes for the trip to Japan & ndash; closed on Fridays & Igrave; with three qualifiers female (Valcepina and Peretti in the 500 and Viviani in the 1000 meters) and only two male & ndash; the usual warranty license plate Yuri Confortola, with Davide Viscardi in 1500 - the later rounds.
Pass to the quarterfinals of the second series of 500 meters & ndash; quarter-final on Sunday - a brilliant Arianna Valcepina (depending on battery won by Canadian Val & eacute; rie Maltais), and Lucia Peretti. Quest & rsquo; last ending in third place its battery qualification behind Audrey Phaneuf (Canada) and s & rsquo; Dutch Yara van Kherkof. But it passes the turn as the best third-placed team with the fastest lap time of 44 & rsquo; & rsquo; 885.
Another next round directed at women, comes to Elena Viviani. The 23 year-old of yellow flame has reached the quarter final of the 1000 meters & ndash; that will take place on Sunday & ndash; coming second behind the reigning European champion Elise Christie (Britain). The original skater Isolaccia concludes the proof of 9 laps in 1 & rsquo; 36 & rsquo; & rsquo; 646 leaving behind, among others, a dangerous competitor as the Russian Tatiana Borodulina. Eliminated, however, Federica Tombolato and Cecilia Maffei, both arrived in third place in their respective batteries. They will try to return to the board by the repechage.
News decidedly less positive by Preliminaries valid for 500 (first series) and 1500 meters for women. On both occasions they do not come smiles for the Italians engaged at the start of the qualifiers. In the 500, Elena and Federica Viviani Tombolato fail to access the batch of 14 have qualified directly to the quarterfinals tomorrow. Only the first disputer & agrave; repechage. In 1500, however, all three Italian at the start of the batteries will have hope in the repechage tomorrow to re-enter the main draw: Lucia Peretti, Arianna Valcepina and Cecilia Maffei came out & ndash; for now & ndash; scene. Unlucky Peretti, come close to qualifying for the semifinals and first among the athletes excluded due to the fourth place & ndash; advancing the first three & ndash; in battery won by the super-talented Korean Choi Minjeong. Fatal to Bormina & egrave; It was immediately overtaking the French Veronique Pierron & Outdoors; last round.
Worst & egrave; the budget of the men. The only & ldquo; & rdquo survivors; sure to play in the next round on one of the four individual distances are Yuri Confortola and Davide Viscardi, we will see all & rsquo; operates in the semifinals tomorrow's 1,500 meters. L & rsquo; experienced athlete of Forestry is in second place (2 & rsquo; 20 & rsquo; & rsquo; 406 the trial) in his heat, behind the American John-Henry Krueger. The Milanese Viscardi, back from his first career final in A & ndash; just the 1500, in Toronto & ndash; must await the decision of the jury that the advances in the semifinals after the & rsquo; incorrect action of & rsquo; Hungarian Liu Shaoang, then ousted. Over the same distance, the & rsquo; another veteran blue, Nicola Rodigari touches to little more & ugrave; a tenth of the qualification after coming fourth in the battery won by Chinese Chen Guang.
The good news for men stop at 1500 meters. In other races out immediately all the other Italian knives, forced all recoveries between Saturday and Sunday. Outside of the Preliminary and batteries valid for the first round of the 500 meters, Dotti Thomas, quest & rsquo; last after passing the first qualifying round, and Andrea Cassinelli. In the second series of sprint distance nothing to do for Confortola and Viscardi, while 1000 meters see a triple exit. Tommaso Dotti is eliminated in the second qualifying round, while Andrea and Nicholas Cassinelli Rodigari finish out the first heat. For all there will be eliminated & agrave; the possibilities & agrave; to return to the main draw through the repechage.
