The 21 year old Valtellina Cepina is square & Outdoors; eighth place overall in the 500 meters after coming to the Final B distance, closed to fourth place behind Patrycja Maliszewska (Poland), Kim Alang (Korea) and Yui Sakai (Japan). Previously, for the Financial ;, & ograve Lombard - only blue qualified for the quarter-finals of the 500 meters - had exceeded the rounds with their opponents prohibitive. The quarter had been styled Fan, Bradette and Russian Konstantinova, excluded after the second false start, real decisive variable in his quarter-final. In a competition to three, a new movement before the start, this time the Canadian Bradette. With Valcepina and Fan Kexin, unique & ldquo; & rdquo survived; After three attempts, the Chinese and l & rsquo; Italian close first and second with no problems for a place in the semifinals. Semi-final race to five with St-Gelais, Fan and sisters Polish Maliszewska. After a false start to the new start, the first of the Canadian, the condition & egrave; repeated at the second attempt by scoring the & rsquo; ouster of China, one of the big favorites to win. Then, after a start imperfect of & rsquo; blue, which lost contact on the first lap with the other three competitors, the St-Gelais (43 & rsquo; & rsquo; 342) closes first before the lower of Maliszewska, Natalia (43 & rsquo; & rsquo; 354) and They take the final medals. Following Patrycja and Arianna (45 & rsquo; & rsquo; 632) are third and fourth, both admitted to the final B.
