The president of Coni Giovanni Malagò was right to predict a double-figure medal collection: the tenth medal has in fact arrived today thanks to that immense champion called Arianna Fontana.

Eight Olympic medals for the Valtellina that won the bronze in the 1000 meters also thanks to the fall of the South Korean Shim Sukhee and Choi Minjeong who collided next to her, but also very good the 27 year old Valtellina of Polaggia to enter in third position to a couple of laps from the end and to ensure that the two Asian remained behind and then self-delete.
Suzanne Schulting is the winner of a historic gold because for Holland she is the first ever in the short track, the 20 year old "tulipani" was a bronze medal at home on this distance last year in Rotterdam. Silver for the Canadian Kim Boutin, also on the third medal in these Games. Fontana equals 8 Italian Olympic meters in an Italian key Giovanna Trillini, in front there are only Valentina Vezzali to 9 and Stefania Belmondo to 10. Applause to a true phenomenon, one of the greatest women of Italian sport ever.

Peccato per Alba Mortagna (miglior tempo in qualificazione), 4^ nel giorno di Kaparkaleja. Titoli juniores a Lia (con tripletta norge tra le donne) e il lettone Bilans che trionfa in casa.
