It falls again, with surprise and, l & rsquo; s Team Pursuit of women & rsquo; Holland, mocked by the Japanese who get the new record in the Thialf Arena. On the day of the Italian chiaroscuro: confirms a reality & agrave; established among the big Andrea Giovannini, 11 & deg; in the first group of 5000 meters. Now promises a further leap in quality & agrave ;. In the same distance there is a new positive signal by Michele Malfatti, sixth in Division B. Male hand shoes fast blues over 1,000 meters.
Continue Dutch rule in the 5000 meters, which has lasted since 2010 far in the World Cup. L & rsquo; last success & ldquo; non-oranje & rdquo; & agrave will remain; & Ndash; at least until February 2016 - one in Berlin obtained from Korean Lee Seung-Hoon. The Thialf we hoped for long minutes the Belgian Bart Swings, first until the descent of the couple on the ice more & ugrave; competitive d & rsquo; Holland formed by Bergsma and Kramer: sar & agrave; only third. Swings had got a great 6 & rsquo; 20 & rsquo; & rsquo; 80 in the fifth battery of eight. In & rsquo; last, however, puts things in place Sven Kramer. L & rsquo; idol of pulling Heerenveen wins a second half & agrave; powerful race and ends with final time of 6 & rsquo; 14 & rsquo; & rsquo; 99. Second place it Jorrit Bergsma in 6 & rsquo; 16 & rsquo; & rsquo; 41. For Kramer, the defending Olympic and world champion distance, it is the 28th victory over 5000 meters.
Even a positive test for Andrea Giovannini, the only Italian engaged in a contest of Division A in the Netherlands this Saturday.

The placement of Trentino earns him another 21 points in the ranking of specialty & agrave; over long distances. In total it takes to share 106 confirming & Outdoors; 11 & deg; place, or among specialists admitted to the first merit group.
Scores of specialty & agrave; & Ndash; also because of the & rsquo; absence of Kramer in the last stage & ndash; remains Jorrit Bergsma with 330 points. Kramer 280 follows a share, ahead of Norwegian Sverre Lunde Pedersen, third at 205.
In Division B race in late morning, good performance for Michele Malfatti. The 20 year old, a veteran of the & ldquo; First & rdquo; among the senior stage of Inzell in the last week, confirming its value and finished sixth in the race won by German Jonas Pflug (6 & rsquo; 29 & rsquo; & rsquo; 10) in front of the Russians and Seryaev Rumyantsev. Malfatti gets a good 6 & rsquo; 32 & rsquo; & rsquo; 96 that does not exceed the best obtained seven days before & ndash; 6 & rsquo; 28 & rsquo; & rsquo; 83 - but that it may improve one position his best Cup, adding 11 points to his tally of points in & ldquo; general & rdquo ;.
Still Brittany Bowe, unstoppable this season, won the test & ldquo; A & rdquo; over 1,000 meters. The American world record holder over the distance d & agrave not; hopes the competition even in Heerenveen. For the 27 year old native of Florida comes the third consecutive win on the kilometer, after the success of Salt Lake City and Inzell. His time of 1 & rsquo; 14 & rsquo; & rsquo; 49 does not detract from the record on & rsquo; oval icy Thialf, which belongs to the 13 February, when he won the World Cup in one & rsquo; 13 & rsquo; & rsquo; 90, but & egrave; between the 20 lap pi & ugrave; fastest of the season, got on a track from the ice between the pi & ugrave; rapid. Once & ndash; the second consecutive & ndash; you must append to Bowe his compatriot Heather Richardson-Bergsma, silver in 1 & rsquo; 15 & rsquo; & rsquo; 33. In third place comes the return to the podium of Marrit Leenstra. L & rsquo; Dutch (time of 1 & rsquo; 15 & rsquo; & rsquo; 77) takes the first medal of & rsquo; year on kilometer after the bronze won last March to the Cup Finals in Erfurt. Fourth & egrave; l & rsquo; Austrian great ascent, Vanessa Bittner. In the overall standings of specialty & agrave ;, rises again the advantage of Bowe, who touches share 380 points, 50 more & ugrave; compared to Richardson. Third dates from the Leenstra, which stood at 225.
In the 1000m group B, Yvonne Daldossi can not find a great performance in the 2 and a half laps of the race valid for the second group. The pi & ugrave; strong Italian sprinter of the moment ended his evidence in one & rsquo; 22 & rsquo; 10 and & egrave; 18th, far from the first. The rider of Forestry & egrave; distant 4.78 seconds from the time of the winner, the Canadian Kaylin Irvine.
Due to a & rsquo; uncertainty decisive turn in the penultimate lap & ndash; with attached risk of falling of de Vries, averted at the last minute -, Team Pursuit of women & rsquo; Holland & egrave; forced to bow to the trio of Japan. A mistake that costs dear to the Dutch, run to a very likely win. Go ahead, then, to the Japanese, who won legitimately with Ayaka Kikuchi, Nana Takagi Miho Takagi and do in developing its new lap record at 2 & rsquo; 59 & rsquo; & rsquo; 58 (previous 2 & rsquo; 59 & rsquo; & rsquo; 65, & rsquo; the Netherlands in 2014) . The oranje (Antoinette de Jong, Marrit Leenstra and Linda de Vries) are ranked second in 3 & rsquo; 01 & rsquo; & rsquo; 26, ahead of the Polish trio (3 & rsquo; 01 & rsquo; & rsquo; 51). Japan is the third victory in its history in & rsquo; s Team Pursuit women: after the triumph of last week in Inzell, the first arriv & ograve; back in 2005 in Baselga di Pin & eacute ;. Ranked reaches a historic overtaking the Japanese rising to 280 points against 260 Dutch. Third & egrave; Russia & ndash; 200 - which today & egrave; placed fourth.
The afternoon of speed skating is & egrave; closed with 1000 meters men's group A and signal yet the amazing run of form of an unstoppable Pavel Kulizhnikov and sprinters of Russia, national and appropriates the second consecutive one-two. The winner of yesterday's first round of the 500 meters, you take the success in the double distance and realized the new track record at 1 & rsquo; 08 & rsquo; & rsquo; 16. The 21 year old wearing gold for the second consecutive time and d & agrave; a disappointment of the evening & rsquo; Dutch Kjeld Nuis, holder of the old record from November 2014 with 1 & rsquo; 08 & rsquo; & rsquo; 25. L & rsquo; oranje & egrave; third in 1 & rsquo; 08 & rsquo; & rsquo; 61 and you must append to Denis Yuskov for 2 cents too. The same Yuskov, 26 years and a career far more & ugrave; brilliant over long and medium distances & ndash; a bronze and a silver at the last two World Allround & ndash ;, is growing in a sudden about 1000 distance where he earned two consecutive silvers.
