In addition to the races in the Team Pursuit won respectively by Canada and the male from & rsquo; Netherlands-female, the second day of competition on the fast oval in the State of & rsquo; Alberta has seen in the race even specialists over 1,000 meters at the individual level. The two races & ldquo; & rdquo individual; rewarded Gerben Jorritsma (Netherlands) to the male and the US holder of the overall World Cup Heather Richardson. Quest & rsquo; last more than twice her compatriot Brittany Bowe. It does so on the final podium, but above all the tears also the world record with an outstanding 1 & rsquo; 12 & rsquo; & rsquo; 51, improving by seven hundredths the record held by 17 November 2013. But the second day of the Canadian stop saw stars of the the team competitions, the Team Pursuit at the novelty & agrave; first for the World Cup: Team Sprint on 3 laps & Outdoors; Senior debut in the races after the trial in youth competitions. After the & ldquo; First & rdquo; celebrate Korea (Kamiya, Tsuji, Kodaira) to women and men of & rsquo; Netherlands (R. Mulder, Verbij and Groothuis).
But & egrave; Should we give a few adjectives that describe the magnificent third place of & rsquo; in Italy & rsquo; s Team Pursuit. A result is not random & ndash; given the progress already & agrave; highlighted a year ago & ndash; and partly for the lucky & rsquo; self-elimination of & rsquo; Holland, sure contender for the top places. Ci & ograve; It does not detract from the spectacular performance of the Azzurri, committed on the ice in the penultimate battery against a strong Poland of Br & oacute; dka, Niedzwiedzki and Szymanski, namely the three athletes Olympic bronze in charge and third place in the cup of specialty & agrave; last year. Giovannini, Stefani and Francolini not done at all intimidated by the caliber of opponents and start attacking. They travel to important rhythms around 26 seconds per lap and are compact in their team move. After half & agrave; race from the disadvantage of Canada Bloemen, Belchos and Donnelly, arrived with the & rsquo; excellent lap of 3 & rsquo; 39 & rsquo; & rsquo; 32 in the previous battery expands, cos & Igrave; rise slightly as the lap times of the Italian trio. L & rsquo; Italy, for ograve ;, & remains in the lead in direct confrontation with the Poles, except temporarily lose the leadership of battery in a lap and a half to go. It seems over but get the & rsquo; excellent reaction of the blue that close in 3 & rsquo; 41 & rsquo; & rsquo; 98 running the last 400 meters in 27 & rsquo; & rsquo; 3. A replica that enable & agrave; the trio blue pull of 49 cents Poles, giving them the third place behind Canada, runner up world over the distance in 2015 and Korea (3 & rsquo; 39 & rsquo; & rsquo; 60) holder of the Cup of specialty & agrave ;.
The twist decisive arriver & agrave; just in & rsquo; last with the battery & rsquo; Netherlands and Korea. The oranje say goodbye to dreams of glory after a lap and a half because of the slip of Arjen Stroetinga. Which automatically opens the doors to the historic podium for the Italian team. With the belief that the team set from ct Maurizio Marchetto can definitely still improve this prestigious and anticipated results.
In victory for the women & egrave; came the success of the Dutch trio composed Marrit Leenstra, Antoinette de Jong and Marije Joling, first in 2 & rsquo; 56 & rsquo; & rsquo; 11 after six rounds total. The oranje skim the world record of Canada (the pi & ugrave; durable female, resisting since 2009), failed for only 32 cents. Next to them, they get on the podium Japan (Kikuchi, Takagi, Oshigiri) and Russia (Graf, Voronina and Kazelina), detached respectively 35 and 87 cents.
In the women's 1,000 meters available for the first group of about came the fireworks & rsquo; artifice and win number 22 in the cup for Heather Richardson, yesterday only fourth in the 500. The American world silver medalist in office on 1000 makes it big. It has the better of compatriot Brittany Bowe to 3 cents, at the end of a race really uncertain and balanced and crowned by the world record over the distance. Richardson takes a & rsquo; huge revenge on companion gold world championship in Heerenveen in 2015, closing with a great time of 1 & rsquo; 12 & rsquo; & rsquo; 51, recovering cents decisive in the last 400 meters on & rsquo; oval Canadian. Behind them comes the paw podium & ndash; the second after the & rsquo; silver yesterday on 500 & ndash; the Chinese Zhang Hong (1 & rsquo; 12 & rsquo; & rsquo; 65). Quest & rsquo; last for a penny before the Olympic champion in office 1500m, returning after a season off, Jorien ter Mors. Pi & ugrave; detached, for more than a second behind the winner, the other: in & rsquo; d & rsquo order and arrive there are Vanessa Bittner (Austria), Marrit Leenstra (Netherlands) and Ida Nj & aring; tun (Norway).
In the B group race, l & rsquo; Italian Francesca Bettrone captures a 1 & rsquo; 17 & rsquo; & rsquo; 60 that is the 21th and penultimate position. The Venetian after a positive return in the 500 meters yesterday, does not find a race over the distance in which lucky not competed in the World Cup since November 2013. The victory & egrave; He went to China Qishi Li, the third & rsquo; last year in the final standings of specialty & agrave ;, thanks to & rsquo; excellent 1 & rsquo; 14 & rsquo; & rsquo; 44 who applies his personal best in his career.
Male c & rsquo; & egrave; the first joy in career at Senior for the 22 year old Dutchman Gerben Jorritsma. The sprinter originally from Diever is his best career running the 1000 meters in 1 & rsquo; 07 & rsquo; & rsquo; 20 (demolished staff of 1.80 seconds). Arrives cos & Igrave; his first hit his 14th Cup race. In particular, stands out his first & ldquo; center & rdquo; by competing on kilometer. Jorritsma ruin the party Pavel Kulizhnikov, the sprinter to beat in the lot on the card world, silver world champion and holder of the Cup of specialty & agrave; 2014-15. The Russian is not enough to build the new personal best in one & rsquo; 07 & rsquo; & rsquo; 33 to repeat the success achieved yesterday on 500. In third place places another oranje, Kjeld Nuis, in 1 & rsquo; 07 & rsquo; & rsquo; 40. Quest & rsquo; last, great rival Kulizhnikov in the previous season, had to settle for bronze. Pi & ugrave; detached other suitors: that Americans Joey Mantia (+0.31 from Jorritsma) and Shani Davis (the world record holder over the distance pays 55 cents of posting). Banned the Olympic champion of 2014 Stefan Grothuis.
The men's 1,000 meters in Division B went prerogative of Mika Poutala, gi & agrave; Yesterday surprising silver in the first set 500 meters reserved to the first group. 1 & rsquo; 07 & rsquo; & rsquo; 90 the trial of the Nordic that warns you & rsquo; American Mitchell Whitmore and the Kazakh Roman Krech.
