Maybe we could expect more of pi & ugrave; exciting and thrilling. The third day of the & nbsp; World Championships on Distances & nbsp; Single & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp Heerenveen, gave a lot. Certainties Stainless & nbsp; Sven Kramer, the unexpected emotions of & nbsp; Shani Davis, through the & ldquo; & rdquo revenge; between compatriots implemented by & nbsp; Heather Richardson. To tears of bitterness & ndash; in a ghostly chill in the stands of the & nbsp; Thialf & nbsp; & ndash; because of the fall of the goddesses: the & nbsp; Team Pursuit women & nbsp; of & rsquo; s & rsquo Netherlands surrenders; gold 2 cents to disbelief (or almost) & nbsp; Japanese.

This & egrave; was the day rainbow. Many ideas, many winners and many losers. Amid even blues. Three have played an individual race, staying for & ograve; in the rear, out live for the fight. By Andrea Giovannini rookies in the competition, in the 5000 meters he finished in 14th place, Yvonne Daldossi, in which 500 women closed the two series as the eighteenth world. Ending with veteran Mirko Giacomo Nenzi, 19th on 1000.
We leave for & ograve; from victory announced pi & ugrave; of all. That of 5000 meters for men. Announced s & Igrave ;, but not because & eacute; there was no competition for Kramer, but also because & eacute; the champion had staked everything on this race. Also when c & rsquo; & egrave; Sven Kramer hardly the 5 km have a different master. From 2007 to 2013 he won five world titles, abdicating in 2011 in Inzell. Then he won his compatriot Bob de Jong, but c & rsquo; was one detail: four years ago, two-time Olympic champion over the distance was not in the race.
Cos & Igrave; l & rsquo; ace of Heerenveen did not fail. The 28-year old champion won the sixth gold in Business in 6 & rsquo; 09 & rsquo; & rsquo; 65. Besides the title, we take the satisfaction that comes with the new track record. The previous? Needless to say, belonged to him (6 & rsquo; 10 & rsquo; & rsquo; 37 dated 2012). Sven takes everything possible after the & rsquo; gold in the Team Pursuit yesterday and he also takes two other compatriots who accompany him on the podium: Jorrit Bergsma and Douwe de Vries.
Galvanized by the performance d & rsquo; gold Thursday on Igrave; 10 thousand in the evening, Bergsma is repeated on Thialf and worries Kramer for over half & agrave; race. Find medal & rsquo; silver in 6 & rsquo; 11 & rsquo; & rsquo; 53. Repeated his second place two years ago. But then & egrave; Dutch triplet, thank Douwe de Vries (6 & rsquo; 18 & rsquo; & rsquo; 24) to the first world medal in career. Nothing to do for a great Denis Yuskov. The Russian confirmation of being in an amazing condition. The fresh world champion in 1500 yesterday, surprised everyone with a performance from the podium in a distance that hardly & ndash; except at the fourth place at the World Cup in 2013 - l & rsquo; he saw among the very first. It gets a big 6 & rsquo; 19 & rsquo; & rsquo; 74, a record season. Fifth French Alexis Contin still surprises in 6 & rsquo; 19 & rsquo; & rsquo; 99.
Fourteenth l & rsquo; unique blue qualifier among the 24 best in the world at the start. Andrea Giovannini, now fixed presence in the World Cup group A, it submits all & rsquo; debut in a World Single Distances on. His & ldquo; First & rdquo; & Egrave; in sixth with battery & rsquo; Norwegian expert H & aring; vard B & oslash; kko. These its partial in the twelve and a half laps: 18 & rsquo; & rsquo; 95, 30 & rsquo; & rsquo ;, 30 & rsquo; & rsquo; 7, 30 & rsquo; & rsquo; 9, 30 & rsquo; & rsquo; 6, 30 & rsquo; & rsquo; 7, 30 & rsquo; & rsquo; 9 , 30 & rsquo; & rsquo; 9, 31 & rsquo; & rsquo; 2, 31 & rsquo; & rsquo ;, 31 & rsquo; & rsquo ;, 31 & rsquo; & rsquo; 1, 31 & rsquo; & rsquo; 2. The total & egrave; 6 & rsquo; 29 & rsquo; & rsquo; 74 or best performance of the season and chrono not very far from the 6 & rsquo; 25 & rsquo; & rsquo; 24 representing his personal best. A good test awaiting the Mass Start tomorrow, race in which points to the podium.
Really unexpected l & rsquo; epilogue of the 1000 meters men. We expected a duel between the Russian-Dutch Nuis and Kulizhnikov, the two athletes who had challenged & ndash; with double victory of & rsquo; oranje in World Cup-just on the same ice. But & egrave; Shani Davis arrived. The US had not won a title at the World Cup in 2011. Also on the one who distances & egrave; was bicampione Olympic distance not rejoiced by March 8 & ndash; success in Inzell always on 1000 & ndash; even in the Cup. Today has placed the paw that few expected, although some inkling l & rsquo; & agrave had already given; yesterday with a fourth place in 1500. Shani rises when & egrave; the time to do it and not & egrave; if a case at the World Single Distances on both rose to seven times & ndash; with today make four gold and three bronze medals - in succession. Davis beats 1 & rsquo; 08 & rsquo; & rsquo; 57 the new advances, namely Pavel Kulizhnikov (1 & rsquo; 08 & rsquo; & rsquo; 61) and Kjeld Nuis (1 & rsquo; 08 & rsquo; & rsquo; 71). For now, the 32 year-old Chicago c & rsquo; & egrave; again and thanked cents and a final round 26 & rsquo; & rsquo; 4 that blasted plans d & rsquo; gold of two young opponents. It is hard to figure out who among the Russian & ndash; without gold despite personal best - and l & rsquo; Dutch & ndash; whose bronze not pu & ograve; meet & ndash; both the pi & ugrave; disappointed. Certainly it will be Nuis & agrave; realized that the pennies & ndash; or rather a dime - the guaranteed the world bronze against a Denny Morrison still behind the leaders. Fifth and sixth Otterspeer Hein and Stefan Groothuis, other oranje away from medals. Only eighth defending champion, the Kazakh Denis Kuzin.
Not abdicates or at least improve his season record of 41 cents l & rsquo; blue Mirko Giacomo Nenzi. The 25 year-old who in 1000 & since Igrave; on the podium just behind Shani Davis in December 2013, does not follow the & rsquo; s exploits podium & rsquo; American. The Venetian & egrave; in the outside lane with Zbigniew Br & oacute; dka and dispute a race fast enough in the first part: 16 & rsquo; & rsquo; 72 at the start and the first lap 25 & rsquo; & rsquo; 8. L & rsquo; the latest round runs in 27 & rsquo; & rsquo; 8. For a total time of 1 & rsquo; 10 & rsquo; & rsquo; 39, which places it in 19th place. It will play & agrave; the best chance in the 500 meters tomorrow. In the short distance he got his best results.
The 500 women represent a novelty & agrave; Absolute & ndash; for occupants of the podium of the race pi & ugrave; fast - although heavy medals go to US domination of the velocity & agrave ;. For the US & egrave; twice as in the 1000 yesterday. But this time the positions are reversed. Heather Richardson & egrave; d & rsquo; gold and beats Brittany Bowe. And the new world champion is the first success in the competition after the disappointment in 1000. The 25 year-old High Point, two wins in the Cup season on the distance, had made it clear the situation. In the first series, in fact, was already & agrave; was the pi & ugrave; fastest of all in 37 & rsquo; & rsquo; 703. Spaced with gaps between 29 and 40 cents rivals pi & ugrave; accredited: the Bowe, l & rsquo; Dutch Thijsje Oenema, Japan's Nao Kodaira and the Korean Olympic champion Lee Sang-Hwa.
A & rsquo; hour and a half after & egrave; Then came the definitive seal in & rsquo; last battery of the second series just with Richardson and Bowe protagonists. Confirms impregnable Heather still pi & ugrave; fast in 37 & rsquo; & rsquo; 629, which prevails over teammate, the Kodaira Lee and Oenema. The final statement & ndash; which adds the two times run, converted into scores recited this ranking. L & rsquo; gold goes cos & Igrave; to Richardson (75 332) in front of a distinctly Bowe and Nao Kodaira 75 785 (75 893). The 28-year old Japanese salt cos & Igrave; for the first time on a world podium. Huge disappointment for Oenema, that in the first series he cherished the dream of being able to repeat the bronze medal obtained in 2012 on the same track. The real loser & ograve; & Egrave; a & rsquo; other: Lee Sang-Hwa. The Korean won 500 in all, not only did not win, but we must not even medal, stopping in fourth place. A debacle evident.
C & rsquo; it was also the & rsquo; blue in the sprint with Yvonne Daldossi, engaged in the first series with the Canadian Marsha Hudey (Canada). L & rsquo; Tyrolean tesserata for Forest perhaps suffers the tension of & rsquo; and ends his test debut in 39 & rsquo; & rsquo; 154, very good time for its levels, which places it in 20th place. In the second series of sprint distance, the skater from Bolzano & egrave; engaged in the outside lane with Russia's Yuliya Kozyreva. And here comes his best performance: Part in the first 100 meters in 10 & rsquo; & rsquo; 725 and closes his performance with an excellent 38 & rsquo; & rsquo; 832 trial which breaks down to 10 cents its primacy seasonal and ends just 14 staff obtained in & rsquo; fast ring of Salt Lake City. In total, 77 986 points that go back in eighteenth position.
Netherlands distraught and inconsolable at the close of the evening. Women's Team Pursuit fail to win the race rainbow that ends the team of Japan for a & rsquo; trifle: two cents. Cos & Igrave; Ireen Wü; st, Marrit Leenstra and Marije Joling suffer defeats one of the pi & ugrave; burning that could predict. Jokes are just when the audience of the Thialf Arena thought of having to celebrate. L & rsquo; s last battery & rsquo; s Team Pursuit women saw oranje starting with a time of Japanese (Miho Takagi and Nana, with Ayaka Kikuchi) gi & agrave; in mind: 3 & rsquo; 01 & rsquo; & rsquo; 53. It seemed to be a winning ride for the queens of the Olympics, World Cups and World Championships. In the first half & agrave; race reached even 3 seconds ahead. Then, the collapse up to despair after the & rsquo; arrival. L & rsquo; Holland is content of & rsquo; silver and in this case seems to stand out more & ugrave; defeat than all & rsquo; gold of amazing Japanese. The bronze, cos & Igrave; as happened in 2014 in Sochi, Russia ends (Skokova, Graf, Voronina).
