The Russian is the fourth of the season, this time appropriating 1000. After returning to the victory of Claudia Pechstein, back to impose another & ldquo; big old & rdquo; the long runway: the & rsquo; Dutch Bob de Jong, owner of 10 thousand meters. In the same race, good performance by Andrea Giovannini, the tenth to the & ldquo; first & rdquo; in group A.
The main suggestions of the day was reserved for the & rsquo; s exciting, and on the edge of pennies, fight W & uuml; st-Leenstra in the 1500 women. The two athletes are the same in each of the four rounds of almost oval, finch & eacute; Mrs. - I & egrave; to become Matrimonia July - Anesi, the square & rsquo; acceleration in winning its & rsquo; s latest round of the battery. They are the & rsquo; Holland that you can not beat. 1 & rsquo; 57 & rsquo; & rsquo; 76 time winner of the Leenstra against the & rsquo; 1 & rsquo; 58 & rsquo; & rsquo; & 33 of the most ugrave; noble, experienced and successful W & uuml; st. Behind the duo of marvels oranje, he sees the Russian Olga Graf, who returns to the podium in 1 & rsquo; 59 & rsquo; & rsquo; 02.
But the 1,500 women offer a hint might affect the & rsquo; s entire season of women: the & rsquo; explosion waiting to Marrit Leenstra. The 25ene of Wijckel & egrave; now in its fourth victory & ndash; two only in this part d & rsquo; s vintage - in a career in the individual competition of the Cup. And this time put the seal first season also on his favorite race, since & eacute; Obihiro had S & igrave; triumphed, but in 1000. The constant, for ograve & ;, is a: Marrit when he wins, he always manages to leave behind the campionissima W & uuml; st. It happened last week and the beginning of November in the Dutch Championships. In short, the battle goes on. And there are good reasons to believe that it can continue for the next few months. L & rsquo; impression & egrave; the condition and maturity & agrave; Leenstra of having grown closer to capacity & agrave; amazing W & uuml; st.
In Division B, Francesca Lollobrigida close to tenth in 2 & rsquo; 06 & rsquo; & rsquo; 51. The skater in the 1,500 meters for the tesserata & rsquo; Air Force is not for a position & ldquo; too much & rdquo ;, & ndash; would be enough to get the ninth & ndash; the first point of the season in the Cup. But the signs are positive: the reigning champion in the Mass Start is finding the feelings & ldquo; Ice & rdquo; after returning from the World Cup on the road. Tomorrow potr & agrave; his say in the points race.
Other major protagonist & egrave; a Pavel Kulizhnikov that does not stop most ugrave & ;. The Russian, he arose early in the season as a surprise in light strokes wins, finds success number four & ndash; seven races! - At the ISU World Cup. The twenty year old is once again on the ice in Seoul, winning his second race of the season on 1000 meters. Not only does the new medal & rsquo; gold: his lap time of 1 winner & rsquo; 09 & rsquo; & rsquo; 56 earned him the new track record in Korea. Moreover & egrave; the leader of the World Cup overall standings & ndash; with this success has exceeded again Kjeld Nuis. Nothing to be done for the competition. Kulizhnikov builds his test with a very fast start, taking a rate of 25 & rsquo; & rsquo; 3 on the first lap. Then no difficulty & agrave; keeping in & rsquo; s final round. Cos & igrave ;, the Dutch must be appended to it. It can not & ograve; sopravanzarlo the Olympic champion over the distance Stefan Groothuis & ndash; second in 1 & rsquo; 09 & rsquo; & rsquo; 83 & ndash; and even the & rsquo; other sprinter has proved more & ugrave; competitive in Asia: Kjeld Nuis & ndash; third in 1 & rsquo; 09 & rsquo; & rsquo; 86. Shani Davis finished off the podium again and & egrave; fifth in 1 & rsquo; 10 & rsquo; & rsquo; 29.
The better of the two Italian race distance & ndash; both in Division B & ndash; & Egrave; found to be Mirko James Nenzi. The Venetian is & egrave; placed tenth in the race won by Korea's Kim Jin-su 1 & rsquo; 10 & rsquo; & rsquo; 65. Nenzi concluded his evidence-in-1 & rsquo; 12 & rsquo; & rsquo; 39. L & rsquo; blue under the Guardia di Finanza has confirmed the same place obtained in the last 500 meters, but it & egrave; able to improve the time recorded in the 1000 Obihiro. Of course, this & rsquo; s start to the year & egrave; been so & igrave; the most brilliant & ugrave; strong skater group coach Stephen Donagrandi. Race to completely forget the second blue busy on the distance: David Bosa. The 22 year old Trent does not go beyond a time of 1 & rsquo; 15 & rsquo; & rsquo; 07 and place it in 24th and last place in the lot of starters.
It redeems readily Lee Sang-hwa. The Korean had been hit in the & rsquo; s pride, yesterday. He had in fact had to capitulate in its race of 500 meters to Japan's Nao Kodaira, who never was able to win in his career. Well, the 25 year-old Seoul was quick to put the record straight in the second series of the distance pi & ugrave; short. Lee did not leave room for replicas, triumphing in the final battery & ndash; which saw its coupled with the Japanese. It is also a time of 37 & rsquo; & rsquo; 99 & egrave; really interesting, confirming the & rsquo; s only woman & ndash; with the US and Bowe Richardson & ndash; able to go below 38 seconds in the season. Third win for the darling of the house and gladness for nothing contained both within & rsquo; s arrival will be on the podium. Kodaira settles for second place in the 38 & rsquo; & rsquo; 51. Immediately behind her is reviewed to Czech Karolina Erbanov & aacute ;, which finds the podium (time to 38 & rsquo; & rsquo; 83) after almost two years of waiting. Mocked the & rsquo; Dutch Floor van den Brandt, an absolute rookie in the Cup and gi & agrave; Fourth & ndash; for 15 cents - in the 500m yesterday. This time it is off the podium for a single penny.
At the same distance, but in Division B, L & rsquo; South Tyrol Yvonne Daldossi confirms the good things done to see in the first series of the 500 meters. The 22 year old ended in seventh place making seasonal staff in the 39 & rsquo; & rsquo; 82. This result leads to two observations: on the one hand improves to 3 cents, the timer set Friday & igrave ;, but this does not improve the placement & ndash; fifth - produced in the first test. In any case, the sprinter pi & ugrave; strong d & rsquo; Italy appropriates another four points in the standings specialty & agrave ;, where salt in 29th position.
Drag & egrave; deal for experienced skaters. And after the & rsquo; s gold in the 5000 women's Claudia Pechstein, l & rsquo; he showed that today another veteran like & rsquo; Dutchman Bob de Jong. He put all in a row in the & ldquo; her & rdquo; 10000 meters orphans & egrave; well premetterlo, specialists Kramer and Bergsma. The 38 year-old Dutch back to win the World Cup after a year and a half of abstinence. The four-time Olympic medalist in 1998, 2014 & ndash; failed the podium until 2002 - in the individual pi & ugrave; long, we take the satisfaction of winning significantly in 13 & rsquo; 17 & rsquo; & rsquo; 51. Preceded Belgium's Bart Swings & ndash; second podium of the season after bronze in the Mass Start in Obihiro & ndash; and the specialist Russian Aleksandr Rumyantsev, gi & agrave; Silver on 5000 played in Japan.
But these 10 thousand were very special to one of the blue race in Seoul. Andrea Giovannini has had the merit and the pleasure of competing in the top group after the promotion obtained in Obihiro. The Trentino has in no way disfigured, coming tenth in the final standings. His time of 14 & rsquo; 02 & rsquo; & rsquo; 77 greatly improves personal best, it being December 2012 (14 & rsquo; 35 & rsquo; & rsquo; 12). For the 21 year old Baselga di Pin & eacute; there's also 25 points in the standings reserved to the 5 and 10 thousand meters. & Egrave; twelfth & ndash; 52 lengths - in the list headed by its de Jong at an altitude of 160.
