Skaters chasing of & rsquo; iris will be engaged on four distances valid for combining great & ndash; 500, 1500, 3000/5000 and 5000/10000 meters & ndash; and their times in each test will help define the final points classification.
The main clues to search for the king and queen of quest & rsquo; year bring all the samples of & rsquo event; last year held in Calgary (Canada). In fact, even on German soil the headlights will be watching all of Sven Kramer and Martina S & aacute; blikov & aacute ;. The Italian National has a large contingent of athletes competing, four. Three men (Andrea Giovannini, Nicola Tumolero and Michele Malfatti) and a woman (Francesca Lollobrigida).
Just from the defending champion in the masculine, l & rsquo; Dutchman Sven Kramer & ndash; possessor of seven board stocks, the result of its successes in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013 and 2015 & ndash; expected l & rsquo; attack on the absolute record of victories belongs to the German Gunda Niemann & ndash; 8 golds in total between 1991 and 1999. In addition, Kramer could launch the & rsquo; Netherlands atop the standings by nation for number of championships won & ndash; 36 & ndash; hooking the Norwegian power. In short, the champion original 29 year-old Heerenveen has the & rsquo; yet another opportunity & agrave; to consolidate its specific weight in the history of the long runway.
Dutch & egrave; Also another of the likely protagonists on the Berlin track. It is Jan Blokhuijsen, quest & rsquo; year third in the European Championships behind Kramer and gold countryman in & rsquo; Team Pursuit at the World Championships of Single Kolomna distances, as well as & eacute; national champion at the end of January. Blokhuijsen, also & egrave; a two-time World runner up & ndash; 2012 and 2014 & ndash; and bronze in 2011. The fight for the podium is likely to miss the & rsquo; silver 2015 Denis Yuskov: the skater Muscovite not & egrave; in top condition due to a problem at & rsquo; crotch and his coach has announced that it could not take part in the 10 thousand meters on Sunday. Other likely candidates for medals are bronze in 2015 Sverre Lunde Pedersen (Norway) and his compatriot Havard B ø kko. To be reckoned with even Bart Swings (Belgium), one of the & ugrave skaters; talented of the lot, the Latvian Haralds Silovs, French Alexis Contin and the Dutch Canadian-born Ted-Jan Bloemen.
Massive & egrave; the presence of Italian skaters in the men's competition. We will see it all & rsquo; three opera blues in Germany, followed by c.t. Maurizio Marchetto. In pole position in the Italian hierarchies c & rsquo; & egrave; without a doubt Andrea Giovannini. The 22 year old Piné & egrave; in his third World Championship experience despite his young age & agrave; and prover & agrave; to follow up on his rise in the world champion personal ranking, it started in 2014 with 17 & deg; place and continued the & rsquo; following year when he reached 15 & deg ;. The financier also & egrave; fresh from brilliant fifth place at European Championships in Minsk and can memorize options really point to the noble neighborhoods in the final ranking. Besides him, l & rsquo; Italy sees at the start also two total newcomers in the event: Nicola Tumolero and Michele Malfatti. Vicenza Tumolero & ndash; class of 1994 & ndash; tenter & agrave; continuing a season since very positive here, which culminated with the fourth World Championship with Team Pursuit and the second place in Division B in the 5000 meters played earlier this year in Stavanger, in the World Cup. Malfatti, however, also a veteran of the ill-fated wooden medal with Team Pursuit in Kolomna, prover & agrave; to amaze and to compete with the best specialists in the world.
Feminine the woman to beat sar & agrave; senz & rsquo; other Martina S & aacute; blikov & aacute ;. The champion of the Czech Republic broke in 2015 the domain you saw l & rsquo; Dutch Ireen W & uuml; st win the & rsquo; gold continuously since 2011. The Czech born in 1987, to memorize options ;, has three golds & ndash board; 2009, 2010, and precisely in 2015 - a silver and a bronze. So the challenge with the & rsquo; oranje & egrave; wide open, also because & eacute; W & uuml; st prover & agrave; to close and redeem a season so far experienced by service due to various physical hardships due to an injury to the head sub & igrave; to before the & rsquo; beginning of the season, trauma now passed entirely as demonstrated by & rsquo; silver at Allround Europeans January in Minsk. The fight for the title & ldquo; pink & rdquo; It seems to be restricted to the S & aacute duo; blikov & aacute; -W & uuml; st. Behind them there seems to be well balanced for the bronze with young Dutch & ndash; third at Euro 2016 & ndash; Antoinette de Jong, Norway's Ida Nj & aring; tun & ndash; gi & agrave; third in 2015 & ndash; and the Russian Natalya Voronina. Attention also to Olga Graf (Russia), the ultraquarantenne hostess Claudia Pechstein home, the third Dutch Linda de Vries and the Canadian Ivanie Blondin. L & rsquo; Italy row at the start knows athlete & ldquo; complete & rdquo; pi & ugrave; competitive: Francesca Lollobrigida. The 25 year-old tesserata for the & rsquo; Air Force sar & agrave; at the start of his second World Allround. L & rsquo; goal & egrave; to improve good 17 & deg; place finish a year ago on his debut.
