& Egrave; True, the blues are at the top in Division B, but the first place to Mirko Giacomo Nenzi, the second of Yvonne Daldossi & ndash; both about 500 meters & ndash; are worth so much. Both at the level of a lift to the first group of merit and is for the & rsquo; euphoria of a group that finally is showing its potentialities & agrave ;.
We feared an early season tarnished by Mirko Giacomo Nenzi. The Venetian Party was among the best in the first trip of the season Obihiro (Japan), but his counterperformance l & rsquo; they did recede in Division B in the 500 and 1000 meters. Today has regained a place among the best with a victory in the second group on the distance pi & ugrave; short program. And on Sunday we'll see him with the pi & ugrave; strong sprinters to race in the afternoon. In Berlin, finally, shows us Mirko & ograve; which had largely showed last season. It puts on the ice all its power for victory in Group B. Their 500 d & rsquo; gold lasts 35 & rsquo; & rsquo; 40. A time of high relief when you consider that the ice is not the Sportforum & egrave; among the pi & ugrave; fast and not skated at similar levels since late last & ndash; excellent & ndash; season. The 25 year-old athlete of yellow flame above, and d & agrave; displeasure Berliners, German Samuel Schwarz (35 & rsquo; & rsquo; 44) and the Finn Mika Poutala (35 & rsquo; & rsquo; 49). Nenzi located cos & Igrave; his third career victory in the second group of Cup. Repeating l & rsquo; hurr & agrave; obtained in the 500 meters in Astana & ndash; He found where & ograve; Also l & rsquo; silver in 1000, for & ograve; among the big & ndash; in November 2013. Now, the sprinter blue incamera other 25 points that will project in the top 20 in the ranking of specialty & agrave; of 500. That is, the & ldquo; red & rdquo; regained.
The other two Italians involved in the first series of the German weekend, in the 500 & ldquo; B & rdquo; progress, even if they are in the back of the list. David Bosa closes in sixteenth place in 35 & rsquo; & rsquo; 91, while the pi & ugrave; young Luke Zanghellini & egrave; 26th in 36 & rsquo; & rsquo; 42. Bosa made his seasonal staff, falling for the first time under 36 seconds. For Zanghellini, however, comes a small step back in the standings after the trials in Asia, but the timing makes it completely happy, because he realizes his new personal best.
Talented Yvonne Daldossi. The sprinter Tyrolean captures his second career podium in the World Cup. The 22 year old is a great race in the first round of the 500 meters & ldquo; Division B & rdquo; and improves his best result (third in the second group) of 2012 in Harbin. This time comes second behind the US quotatissima Brittany Bowe, on his return to the World Cup only today cos & Igrave; as the whole team Use. The formidable US & ndash; world bronze in the 1000 Sochi 2013 & ndash; had slipped back in the rankings ISU, showcases all his class going to take the win in 38 & rsquo; & rsquo; 62. Excellent time below the staff and objectively out of the reach of the girl from Lana. Yvonne Daldossi get a 39 & rsquo; & rsquo; 25 that raises its prices for an assault on the & ldquo; & rdquo promotion; among the pi & ugrave; strong of specialty & agrave ;. And besides there & ograve; finds a new boost of confidence after a fifth-place finish in Seoul, on 21 November.
A first taste of oval in Germany, almost perfect for the blues. The preconditions for a good day d & rsquo; blue debut at Sportforum Berlin, there had been since the very first race of the morning, always reserved to the commitments of the groups B of competence. In the 3000 meters women, Francesca Lollobrigida had indeed missed the podium, reaching the finish line with the fourth time. The 4 & rsquo; 13 & rsquo; & rsquo; 01 obtained from the skater Roman dell & rsquo; Air Force is a good time trial and confirms the excellent potentialities & agrave; dell & rsquo; blue. S & Igrave far ends; & Ndash; stopwatch in hand - from the first two positions, occupied by strong Dutch Carlijn Achtereekte (born in 1990 and rookie in the Cup) and Carien Kleibeuker (36 year-old Olympic bronze medalist in office). Their times & ndash; 4 & rsquo; 00 & rsquo; & rsquo; 80 and 4 & rsquo; 03 & rsquo; & rsquo; 79 - are of the highest caliber. The third place of the Polish Katarzyna Wozniak (4 & rsquo; 12 & rsquo; & rsquo; 67) escapes to Francesca for pennies. For the precision 34. & Egrave ;, in each case, an important signal for the Lollobrigida, which proves ready for an immediate jump of quality & agrave; long distances in the program. Since she already & agrave; among the leading experts of the Mass Start.
