After the first session of the event rainbow, began today in Japan, the verdicts sure they see only & nbsp; three qualifiers & nbsp; & ndash; all-female & ndash; guaranteed for the next few days dedicated to the quarterfinals and semifinals individual.

The thirty passes shifts of 1500 and 1000 meters and can & ograve; nurture hopes of a good placing individual. With her, a & rsquo; another young rookie in the competition, Nicole Gomez Botter, the next round is always on 1500. Male hand men, all three eliminated in the individual distances. We will see the bluish only compete for placings in batteries for athletes gi & agrave; ousted.
But the two major disappointments come, unfortunately, from racing traditions with pi & ugrave; positive at the World Junior: relays. Both girls have both boys gi & agrave; abandoned the competition, saying cos & Igrave; goodbye to the dream medal since the first descent on the ice of & rsquo; Osaka Pool Ice Rink. Here is the complete picture of the races in the bluish Friday & Igrave; dedicated to the qualifying rounds. From tomorrow space in the quarter and semi-finals in 1500 and 500 meters, male and female, and the semi-finals & ndash; unfortunately no teams blue & ndash; 3000 meters of the relay.
The 1500 women's world first race of the program, are also the pi & ugrave; lucky for the & rsquo; Italy. Among the 20 semi-finalists who will go down on the ice tomorrow for a place in the final A there will be two Italian engaged in the semifinals. Arianna Sighel Botter and Nicole Gomez guarantee the next round and are 16th and 20th respectively. The pinetana Sighel centers the pass coming second & ndash; in 2 & rsquo; 47 & rsquo; & rsquo; 233 & ndash; behind the winner Ekaterina Strelkova. The Botter Gomez, however, & egrave; been advanced by the courts after being damaged by & rsquo; Hungarian Backsai, then disqualified after the & rsquo; arrival. L & rsquo; blue was still alive was in during most of the 14 laps.
Nothing to do for the third blue & ndash; the first in order of appearance in Osaka & ndash; Gloria Malfatti. Not enough for fourth place in the battery won by the strong Canadian Audrey Phaneuf, fresh from first place in the Senior World Cup in relay, February 8th. It qualificavano fact only the first two.
The 500 meters are unfortunate for skaters of our house. & Egrave; this l & rsquo; only distance in which we will not see Italian quarter-final. Arianna Sighel does not go beyond the fourth place in the first qualifying round, eliminated by Maria Oborina (Russia) and Miwako Yamamura (Japan). Nicole Gomez Botter and Gloria Malfatti (in the cover photo in last place) outweigh & ndash; winning them & ndash; their preliminary, but are forced to bow out in subsequent batteries. Both fourth in their tests, they can only compete for a finishing position from 16th place in the batteries of tomorrow to outline the final standings.
Despite the unfortunate interlude of 500, the Sighel confirms that l & rsquo; Italian with more capacity & agrave; in the lot of the three competitors of technical Silvano Bertoldi and Mara Zini. The thirty guarantee qualification to the quarterfinals on Sunday, finding a strong second place in the initial battery. 1 & rsquo; 39 & rsquo; & rsquo; 798 his lap time, behind the formidable Chinese Sun Yingying.Fuori advance Malfatti (third in battery) and Botter Gomez (fourth) that you will have to settle for competing in batteries for placings.
Definitely pi & ugrave; skinny booty of males. Three blue in the race in the individual, no one moves toward the decisive rounds of the next two days. In the 1500 meters, go all out at the first opportunity. Mark Giordano (2 & rsquo; 28 & rsquo; & rsquo; 696) & egrave; fifth in the battery qualifier won by Chinese Ma Wei, but & egrave; far more than a second and a half from the time qualifying. Leonardo ball ends up in fourth place his trial, won by & rsquo; Hungarian-born Chinese, gi & agrave; protagonist quest & rsquo; year with two podiums in the relay at the World Cup Senior, Liu Shaoang. Same placement for Mattia Antonioli, Bormio class 1996, a tenth and a half from the third position of the US Shaner Lebauer, last qualified in its battery.
In the 500 meters, the music does not change much for the Azzurrini. The best will ensue & agrave; be Leonardo ball, only capable of passing s & Igrave; the first qualifying round, but forced to raise the white flag in subsequent batteries for access to the quarterfinals tomorrow. At first qualifies finishing second & ndash; in 44 & rsquo; & rsquo; 730 - behind dell & rsquo; Dutch Tjerk de Boer. But a few minutes later sar & agrave; forced to abandon the dreams of glory because & eacute; fourth in the 44 & rsquo; & rsquo; 455 in the battery won by Kazakh Denis Nikisha before the Japanese Kota Kikuchi.
Fight but can not exceed the first round Mattia Antonioli, third in his heat. Same fate for Mark Giordano fourth but much more & ugrave; close & ndash; at least at the level cronometrico & ndash; just because of the passage of 64 cents.
L & rsquo; last distance of the day's program, starring the 76 Junior skaters at the start to compete for the overall title. Again none of the bluish figure in the quarter finals scheduled for Sunday 1 & deg; March. The budget also states in this case only a preliminary round passed and two deletions immediate. The only Mattia Antonioli advancing from the preliminaries, only to be ousted in the batteries. Once again, the representative of Bormio Ice, comes to terms with an even match decided by the unfortunate few cents. L & rsquo; bluish & egrave; third behind the Chinese Ma Wei and the Canadian Alexander Fathoullin. L & rsquo; 1 & rsquo; 39 & rsquo; & rsquo; 771 of the Valtellina not & egrave; enough to guarantee him the second place & ndash; or the qualification & ndash; which is only 40 cents.
They end up out in the preliminaries, however, Leonardo Ball & ndash; third in the test won by New Zealand Biggs and Mark Giordano, in his fourth Test.
In closing the program, there's two bad news from the relay. Both quartets Blues fail to overcome the obstacle of the batteries. Females fail a passage round affordable Asia Antonioli, Nicole Gomez Botter, Gloria Malfatti and Arianna Sighel not go beyond the third place in the first of three batteries of the program champion. Vince's favorite quartet of Canada (4 & rsquo; 24 & rsquo; & rsquo; 434) in front of Poland. Time bluish, 4 & rsquo; 36 & rsquo; & rsquo; 761 conditioned by a middle stage of the race whooping, not & egrave; enough to make them fit in the two best third & ndash; three - ripescabili to the semifinals.
Mattia Antonioli, Leonardo Ball, Mark Giordano and Matthew Pedranz come anch & rsquo; they immediately to the scene after the first of four batteries of the 3000m men's relay team. Azzurrini are anticipated from Hungary, the Netherlands and Belgium and end quarters. They say goodbye to dreams of qualifying gi & agrave; in the early laps, when stood in last place without ever finding a cue to return to racing.
