On the one hand, Kramer enters further into the history of the competition and the ice skating for pi & ugrave; reasons, after winning the run & ndash; defeated compatriot Verweij - decisive, accomplished in 10 thousand meters. The seven-time Olympic medalist is cos & Igrave; his seventh European victory overcoming compatriot Rintje Ritsma & ndash; & Ldquo; & rdquo stopped; at an altitude of six gold medals between 1994 and 2000 & ndash; and equals the 17 wins & ndash; Clas Thunberg of Finland - in individual distances in the event. Ireen Wü; st & egrave not; less feminine. The 28 year old is the fourth European title in career & ndash; the third consecutive & ndash; rejecting with the thrill l & rsquo; an attack Martina S & aacute; blikov & aacute; never tamed and d & rsquo; silver. Will separate the 68 basis points.
In addition to the festival of champions oranje, c & rsquo; & egrave; to report the persistence of the tab & ugrave; European as a great skater Koen Verweij, relegated to second place by 0:18 cents. The 24 year old Alkmaar confirms & ldquo; & rdquo placed excellent; Championships after the bronze in 2011 and l & rsquo; silver in 2014. But this time really goes near to scare the quotatissimo teammate Kramer. The S & aacute; blikov & aacute ;, however, get the & rsquo; eighth medal continental & ndash; total for the Czech updates five golds, one silver and three bronze medals. But not all. Holiday & egrave; also hosts Russia. About Denis Yuskov able to get his first podium at the European and & egrave; deserved bronze medal after a & rsquo; last session of the race in great form.
L & rsquo; s oval & rsquo; Uralskaya Molniya also provides encouraging responses to the blues. The two Italians in the race, followed by Russia in technical Giorgio Baroni, conclude all & rsquo; eleventh and sixteenth place finish. First blue & egrave; Andrea Giovannini, while the pi & ugrave; expert Luca Stefani also score & ndash; was gi & agrave; happened in 2014 -in the top 15 d & rsquo; Europe. For both, however, this is the best finish in a European career.
The day began with the 1500 meters, the third round of the program after 500 and 5000 yesterday. And the men, the victory speech & egrave; Deal of the & ldquo; usual & rdquo; known. Or almost. Denis Yuskov amazes with an important performance, top ten in the 2014-15 season: 1 & rsquo; 46 & rsquo; & rsquo; 22. The 25 year-old Muscovite, is his first win & ndash; the third participation - in a European Championship and finally makes the 4000 spectators cheer of & rsquo; Arena Uralskaya Molniya. A placement that was missing, despite holding the world bronze-round, as well as & eacute; World Champion & ndash; Single Distance Championships of 2013 & ndash; always on his beloved 1500. Nothing victory for Bart Swings (1 & rsquo; 47 & rsquo; & rsquo; 08) which closes in third place, reaching at least the first European podium on away & ndash; although boasted three bronzes, two on the 10mile and one on 5000 - in his career. And only in closing will add & agrave; second place in the 10 thousand.
But the distance was living in the duel Verweij-Kramer, who & egrave; held in the same awaited battery. The former world champion Allround 2014 (& ldquo; & rdquo in absentia; Kramer, & egrave; well to remember), d & agrave; the best in the distance pi & ugrave; congenial to its fast, but had to settle for second. Koen Verweij, in fact, is s & Igrave; its primacy in one season & rsquo; 46 & rsquo; & rsquo; 28, but loses the success for only six cents, dissipating - accomplice some mistakes - the advantage gained in the first part of the race on Yuskov. L & rsquo; Dutch does not take it well at all and shows his disappointment, not forgetting the speech title (and sar & agrave; prophetic about it). The champion Sven Kramer is defended quite well & ndash; pending its 10 thousand - and & egrave; fifth in 1 & rsquo; 47 & rsquo; & rsquo; 41, anticipated to & ograve; by Sverre Lunde Pedersen (1 & rsquo; 47 & rsquo; & rsquo; 32) and in front of Haralds Silovs. Wouter Olde Heuvel does not shine however, only ninth. Verweij lengthens slightly in the speech overall, but not baster & agrave ;, while the victory of Yuskov sar & agrave; decisive for the bronze allround.
The 1,500 men of the two Italians were decisive. They had the difficult task to move up to be among the top eight in the standings to earn the right to play for the & rsquo; 10 thousand in the last round. Do not l & rsquo; they did, but they did not disappoint. Luca Stefani, in battery with German Jonas Pflug & ndash; cos & Igrave; as in the 500 on Saturday & ndash; does not go beyond the sixteenth place. The Venetian Asiago, fresh sample d & rsquo; Allround Italy, ending his third and latest effort in Russia in one & rsquo; 51 & rsquo; & rsquo; net, or third best performance of the season on the distance. The race of & rsquo; blue splits cos & Igrave ;: start in 24 & rsquo; & rsquo; 74 and next steps in 27 & rsquo; & rsquo; 7, 28 & rsquo; & rsquo; 8:29 & rsquo; & rsquo; 6. Closes in fifteenth place, with 115 181 of the total score. Exactly how to Hamar in 2014, when it was s & Igrave; fifteenth, but with better calculation of points: 113 208.
Andrea Giovannini competes in tandem with the Norwegian Simen Spieler Nielsen and looks good at all, even if it fails to qualify as & ldquo; magnificent eight & rdquo; 10000 for the final, it will confirm & agrave; In fact, 11th in the final ranking, improving however three positions compared to his first European Allround last year. His 1500 are of good quality, reflecting the growth evident in & rsquo; arc this season. These steps of Trentino: 24 & rsquo; & rsquo; 41 to 300m, then proves to be in excellent lena 27 & rsquo; & rsquo; 3-28 & rsquo; & rsquo; 6 before selling something in the final round, closed in 29 & rsquo; & rsquo; 9. At the finish line scores the lap of one & rsquo; 50 & rsquo; & rsquo; 47. The financier he arose light quest & rsquo; year especially in the Mass Start, he will still make his seasonal best & ndash; Previous 1 & rsquo; 51 & rsquo; & rsquo; 36 got in the World Cup in Berlin - 1500m. But previously had raced only twice below this limit: rings and ice much more & ugrave; fast in Salt Lake City and Calgary. His point total in general & egrave; of 114 107 (113 073 l & rsquo; last year) and earned him a place at the edge of the top ten d & rsquo; Europe. If the condition in the next commitments salir & agrave; still, l & rsquo; blue potr & agrave; still improve in view of & rsquo; another important event of the season: the World Allround Calgary (7-8 March 2015).
As said the 10 thousand conclusive risked becoming a ride race toward the & rsquo; gold with the great favorite of the distance Sven Kramer & ndash; tailing compatriot Verweij for the title, with little more & ugrave; half a point ahead. Kramer, engaged in the penultimate battery, does his show with a naturalness shocking. And wins in 13 & rsquo; 07 & rsquo; & rsquo; 27: at once realizes the track record and his record season. Behind him & ndash; coupled to him & ndash; you square the Norwegian Sverre Lunde Pedersen in 13 & rsquo; 16 & rsquo; & rsquo; 27. 150 764
The real challenge in distance & egrave; cos & Igrave; all in & rsquo; battery last when Koen Verweij & egrave; combined with Russian Denis Yuskov. L & rsquo; sa gi Dutch & agrave; that the minimum time trial & egrave; 13 & rsquo; 18 & rsquo; & rsquo; 31, & egrave; This is the time required to & rsquo; European silver in charge to keep the head of the overall standings. Overtaking final & ldquo; in progress & rdquo; comes to 8000. The partial Koen are consistently over 32 seconds when Kramer in previous battery & ndash; and in his Yuskov & ndash; were well below that barrier. In addition, also comes the & rsquo; physical coupling of the Russian party pi & ugrave; slowly Verweij. And for quest & rsquo; last turn off the velleit & agrave; European title. Verweij 150 107, 150 697 according Yuskov. Their times: l & rsquo; Dutch & egrave; fifth on the distance in 13 & rsquo; 21 & rsquo; & rsquo; 90, while the Yuskov concludes fourth with 13 & rsquo; 21 & rsquo; & rsquo; 16 and saves the European bronze from & rsquo; assault of a fierce Lunde Pedersen to 0.7 tenths of a point. On the podium will square the talented Belgian Bart Swings, too off the first day of competition. Its 12 & rsquo; 21 & rsquo; & rsquo; 06 will be worth the & agrave; 10 thousand on the podium but not baster & agrave; to get it back on the podium in general.
& Nbsp;
No less compelling struggle for supremacy among women. The brick decisive speech allround title, l & rsquo; had laid & ndash; but not fixed - Ireen Wü; st. The 28 year old Goirle redeems itself after the defeat in 3000 at the close of the first session and recites his race dominatrix in the 1500 meters, third test overall and especially inevitable crossroads for the & rsquo; assigning the continental title.
The battery of the special was observed l & rsquo; last of nine total. The one that has seen the pair engaged in Wü; st (in the outside lane) and the pi & ugrave; credited among his challengers, Martina S & aacute; blikov & aacute ;. In the distance of the mile, l & rsquo; Dutch Olympic silver medalist was senz & rsquo; else the favorite to win, given its quality & agrave; Superb in the medium to long distances, unlike the Czech cross-country skier. And the champion d & rsquo; Europe has no difficulty & agrave; to take l & rsquo; gold over the distance in 1 & rsquo; 56 & rsquo; & rsquo; 05. A record never questioned since the early steps of 3 laps and 300 meters from the sealed fifth time pi & ugrave; fast in season in the palmares of the phenomenon of Dutch ice. The S & aacute; blikov & aacute ;, its part, surprisingly, showing in full its positive condition in a distance that does not & egrave; certainly its strong point. Sar & agrave; third thanks to the time of one & rsquo; 58 & rsquo; & rsquo; 24. So she comes to the fourth podium of his career in the 1500 & ldquo; European & rdquo ;.
Very well the 21 year old Norwegian Ida Nj & aring; tun, rising again on the second step of the podium, after finishing second in the 500m. The Scandinavian gets a great one & rsquo; 58 & rsquo; & rsquo; 09 against l & rsquo; 1 & rsquo; 58 & rsquo; & rsquo; 33 the direct challenger for the bronze allround Linda de Vries, third after the two races on Saturday and fourth overall on 1500. A statistic important : l & rsquo; Dutch pi & ugrave; young & ndash; born in 1988 - among the three have qualified in Chelyabinsk, get the third silver in 1500 about the same number of shares of the Europeans. Pi & ugrave; Back l & rsquo; other oranje, Jorien Voorhuis & ndash; fifth - and Russia's Yuliya Skokova & ndash; sixth - 1 & rsquo; 59 & rsquo; & rsquo; 02-1 & rsquo; 59 & rsquo; & rsquo; 27. Both fail to pass the & rsquo; 1 & rsquo; 58 & rsquo; & rsquo; 60 previously obtained the Russian Olga Graf, not far from its seasonal staff & ndash; 1 & rsquo; 57 & rsquo; & rsquo; 95 - obtained in October. Sar & agrave; fourth to 36 cents from bronze.
The 5000-meter distance reserved for the top eight rankings after the first three distances, sees a domain or almost as & eacute; exclusive of Holland & ndash; Wü; st, de Vries and Voorhuis - and Russia & ndash; Graf, Skokova and Voronina, the latter from the sixth to the & rsquo; eighth partial. Both lead to national & rsquo; last test three athletes each. They are joined by the surprise Nj & aring; tun and of course the S & aacute; blikov & aacute ;. Both hitherto main candidates for the final podium.
The competition launches the first run of the specialist Olga Graf, excellent in taking a podium placement in 7 & rsquo; 09 & rsquo; & rsquo; 11 & ndash; new record, then shot down, the track - and go up a position in the standings (sar & agrave; fourth). L & rsquo; silver at the World Allround and Olympic bronze in 3000 in Sochi is improved by more than 4/2 compared to his best season.
Not flustered by & ograve; Linda de Vries, good at rejecting the & rsquo; the Russian attack, but unable to find the medal in 5000, finishing fourth & ndash; with a sharp drop in & rsquo; last part of the race - in 7 & rsquo; 09 & rsquo; & rsquo; 52. Never mind, because & eacute; its main goal was to distance the direct competitor Ida Nj & aring; tun & ndash; little distance runner for technical & ndash; that could not attack it. Bronze Allround should therefore dell & rsquo; oranje, rising again on the overall podium after the & rsquo; silver in 2013.
Eight and a half turns in stunning & rsquo; last and decisive battery between Ireen Wü; st and Martina S & aacute; blikov & aacute ;. Obviously l & rsquo; Dutch very strong part. From the fourth round on, the Czech passes to boast excellent shots back between 32 and 33.3 seconds. The decline of Ireen materializes after the 3200 meters, highlighted by & ograve; by the great performance of Martina. The rider of the Czech Republic won the race in 7 & rsquo; 00 & rsquo; 70, against 7 & rsquo; 05 & rsquo; & rsquo; 73. L & rsquo; Dutch limits the damage and the time & egrave; necessary to assure the European title. But not without some apprehension because of 0.68 points of difference in the final score.
