Speed ​​Skating - CdM in Berlin
Francesco A. Armillotta
In Berlin, was held the first day of the World Cup and with it came the first verdicts for certain qualifications Winter Olympics in Sochi. There comes a trio of smiles thanks to Lollobrigida, Nenzi Anesi and Italy to the speed skating.
Friday 6 December 2013 10 minutes reading time
The first with Francesca Lollobrigida, who is the officer of his participation in the 3000m in Russia (February 9). The Roman followed, in order of time, by Matteo Anesi. The Trentino qualifies while not taking part in the 1500 Berlin. The time just got to Salt Lake City to be within the top 40 for Sochi (race February 15), because no opponent was able to sopravanzarlo. In the 500, Mirko James Nenzi take further certainty after his exploits in the 1000, coming 15th in his race.
The Olympic participation is instead still poised for Jan Daldossi (in brawl in the 500) and the three Italian (Bettrone, Y. Daldossi and Simionato) engaged in the same distance. The last opportunity to try the Olympics will present their second in the 500 series, scheduled from tomorrow (women) and Sunday (men)
So none of the three Italian committed in the first series of the 500 Division B, is able to improve their times Olympic entrance, but not a competitor crosses the ranking Yvonne Daldossi, which remains placed the last available place for Sochi. On the whole, however, is bad news for the Italian colors, waiting for the very last chance tomorrow morning in the second and final series of the shortest distance.
As for today's race, Paola Simionato is the best Italian Ranked: 19th closed due to the time of 39.67. Just behind her, but spaced two cents, Yvonne Daldossi. Further back Francesca Bettrone: its 40.61 applies only to the 22nd spot.
Path similar to that of Yvonne Daldossi for the other sprinter blue that must defend itself at all costs to search for the Olympics: David Bosa. The 21 year old of Trent closes its proof (in Division B) in 36.01 in 13th place overall. It does not improve his lap time input Olympic, but none of the other competitors succeeds in. Remains well anchored to the last box to Sochi. Looking forward to play in the second series of 500.
Francesca Lollobrigida this time can not keep the Italian record, but confirms his immense quality. The Romans, after having crashed three national records in his last three races of the World Cup, this time "satisfied" to take the certainty to compete in Sochi 2014. His 4'09'' 04 in 3000, earned her sixth place in Division B. Equaled his best finish in the Cup (November 15 last year, in Salt Lake City), always on 3000. He also forfeited another 11 points in the specialty.
In the same race, the attack fails to timely Sochi, the Dutch Jorien ter Mors (winner in 4'02'' 23). The oranje already qualified for the Olympic Games in the short track, pay the Dutch domestic competition. It would have been qualified with any other national, while the Netherlands is the fourth in the ranking (only the first three will qualify for each country).
In the last race of the B group in the program in Berlin, 1500 men, come bad news for Jan Daldossi. The South Tyrolean had better (and much) to be within the top 40 for the Olympics. And his 1'50'' 72 leaves him, in fact, out of the game in the 1500 five circles. He would have to go down to four seconds to hope for the best, but the Ice Sports center of Berlin has proved slower than expected for all skaters. Therefore, do not get any improvement in the entire Division B and the Olympic pass remains in the pockets of Matteo Anesi, who defended the penultimate place available and was on track in the 1500s, maintaining, in fact, its status quo: February in Russia, as we shall see in the individual for his third consecutive Olympics.
Mirko Nenzi, the only blue competing in Division A, he finds himself on the track with the idol, the German champion and record holder at 500, Nico Ihle. The Venetian concludes his trial in 35.42. Time, which earned him a good 15th place. All in all it remains in line with the course of the previous week in Astana, despite giving up one position. In specialty rankings, the financier collects 14 points that ensure the presence in the group of big in the second series of the day after tomorrow. At this point, given the relative speed of the track, Mirko cements his credentials to have a place in the 500 Sochi 2014.
The gold in the 500 if the insured is the Dutchman Michel Mulder (34.72) in front of Tae-Bum Mo (34.89) and Keiichiro Nagashima (35.01). To Mulder is the first win of the season nell'incertissima shortest distance of the Cup.
In the 500 Women Division A, Sang-Hwa Lee drops the settebello of wins this season. The 24-year old Olympic outperforms the competition in a turn yet also marked by the fall (without consequences) of the darling of Berlin's Jenny Wolf. The Korean world record holder won with a time of 37.36, a new track record. Behind her, you must append the Russian Olga Fatkulina (37.71) and China's Wang Beixing.
Surprise in the 1500 Division A huge male. Joey Mantia wins the U.S. (1'45'' 80), the first appearance in group A. The 27 year-old Florida is yet another discovery from the inline skating, after being passed to the ice in 2011. Mantia above listed funds and already winning Zbigniew Brodka and Denis Yuskov.
In 5000 women's Division A, the perennial battle between the two queens of the great distances Sablikova-Pechstein, it should be the prerogative of the Czech Republic. The Olympic final in Vancouver beats the German, unleashing an excellent 4:02:25 (the Pechstein ago 71 cents worse). Bronze Medal another great skating as Ireen Wüst shame for her that the seasonal rankings not allow you to be among the three Dutch Sochi.
