& Nbsp; As for women, the phenomenal rider of the Czech Republic is the third title in his highly decorated career & ndash; back between the & rsquo; another win after four years after the gold in 2009 and 2010 & ndash; and interrupts the kingdom of Ireen Wü; st, today only d & rsquo; silver. Besides them & egrave; was the World of the first times on the podium: & egrave; was cos & Igrave; for l & rsquo; silver and bronze male & ndash; respectively and Sverre Lunde Pedersen Denis Yuskov & ndash; and the third place, the Norwegian Ida Nj & aring; tun.
So after 17 total kilometers and two days of competition, celebrates Sven Kramer. The 28 year old Dutchman is cos & Igrave; the big target of the World Allround for the seventh time in his career. Not & egrave; was a "walk", contrary to what one might think. The phenomenon of long track oranje & egrave; entered the history of the competition Because & eacute; no man & egrave; never managed to collect so many gold medals on the bulletin board. Only Germany's Gunda Niemann did better, winning eight times Championships complete.
The story smiles cos & Igrave; Kramer to 43 basis points, which happens Koen Verweij in & rsquo; d & rsquo register; gold of the competition pi & ugrave; ancient worldwide. Very tight the advantage of the three-time Olympian in his career. About a great Denis Yuskov. The Russian, gi & agrave; Bronze Allround in previous World Cup and the European Championships in January 2015, it improves confirming cos & Igrave; climbing up on the podium but all & rsquo; silver. Not & egrave; Sverre Lunde Pedersen outdone, bronze surprise. The 22 year old is his first world medal in career.
Different is for the women's tournament. The winner S & aacute; blikov & aacute; triumphed with a good margin of points & ndash; formed by the total of the times based on all four distances races - well 1.57 on reigning champion Ireen Wü; st, the great defeat in Calgary. But in Canada & egrave; view a great sprinter able to compete until the & rsquo; last test of 5000 meters at par of opponents. We are talking about Heather Richardson, who & egrave; remained in the lead for three quarters of the Championships, only to abdicate in the distance pi & ugrave; long. For her, however, comes an honorable fourth place, because & eacute; Ida also Nj & aring; tun succeeds in passing the final for just 25 basis points of difference. But the World Allround of North American & ndash; arrived after a silver in the sprint last week & ndash; & Egrave; was spectacular.
Positive assessment of the two Italian skaters who took part in the World in 2015, under the guidance of coach Stefano Donagrandi. Andrea Giovannini, the second participation at the Senior World Championships, came in at 15th place overall. The financier returned to Italy with two new personal records & ndash; of 500 and 5000 meters & ndash; and a closing slightly down on 1500 today. In any case, the skater Trent gets his best career in the overall ranking. L & rsquo; last year, the Championships held in Heerenveen, was in fact the 17th. The fresh 24 year old Francesca Lollobrigida was instead all & rsquo; total debut in a competition of this caliber. And l & rsquo; Roman athlete also returns home with her two personal records brand new: about 500 and 1500 meters. His seventeenth place overall & egrave; a good amount of experience in the upcoming seasons. Dovr & agrave; improve especially in the medium and long distances, where potr & agrave; fit in the struggles for the summit.
Reconstructing what happened in the World Championships Sunday, we start with the men's 1,500 meters. Race in which, thanks to the podium in third weekend of Calgary & ndash; before he was second on 500 and third on 5000 - Denis Yuskov had found overtaking provisional Sven Kramer in the overall standings, the first closing of the first day. The Russian skater is able to get the better of all rivals in one & rsquo; 42 & rsquo; & rsquo; 92, which confirms better world specialist season after l & rsquo; 1 & rsquo; 43 & rsquo; & rsquo; 36 that allowed him to graduate champion on the single distance in Heerenveen . Net his supremacy, built especially with a starting very effective, that gave him the win & ndash; with first place, then surrendered only after the decisive 10 thousand & ndash; the new world champion.
On the distance, excellent performance (1 & rsquo; 43 & rsquo; & rsquo; 99) of the Norwegian Sverre Lunde Pedersen, gi & agrave; on the second step of the podium yesterday on 5000. The talented 22-year-gi & agrave; twice champion allround for juniors & ndash; between 2011 and 2012 & ndash; and fourth among the Senior in the last two editions starts cos & Igrave; his ascent. Behind the Viking are placed tied for Belgian Bart Swings and Sven Kramer, both at the finish line with a time of 1 & rsquo; 44 & rsquo; & rsquo; 18. Fifth the real surprise of the weekend regarding the men's tournament: the Canadian Denny Morrison. The Canadian, & ograve ;, maybe because the labors of the Sabbath & ndash; unusual for him, since six seasons did not participate in a World Cup & ldquo; complete & rdquo; & Ndash; not & egrave; fast (1 & rsquo; 44 & rsquo; & rsquo; 35) in the distance where he won two world titles in his career. Only sixth Olympic champion Zbigniew Br & oacute; dka (Poland).
Does not arrive for a & rsquo; s & rsquo trifle; en plein of personal records for Andrea Giovannini. After the double exploit Saturday in the 500 meters and above in 5000, the 21 year old Trent stops 1 & rsquo; 47 & rsquo; & rsquo; 78 in 1500, the twentieth time on the 23 competitors at the start. A time that just grazes his best, remained 1 & rsquo; 47 & rsquo; & rsquo; 69 and dating back to November 2013. The result does not allow him cos & Igrave; groped to successfully l & rsquo; assault to be within the top eight on the list & ndash; Yesterday was the 12th - at the end of the third round of the World Championship program.
In the decisive 10 thousand meters, the fourth and final commitment Championships male, expected the decisive shot in the ranking of Sven Kramer. The world record holder is not & egrave; did pray and has once again demonstrated his enormous talent combined with a resistance unmatched in the current landscape of speed skating. The champion of Heerenveen wins cos & Igrave; the race pi & ugrave; backbreaking & ndash; open to the top eight competitors after the first three Tests & ndash; and does so without being threatened by rivals. 12 & rsquo; & rsquo; 56 & rsquo; 69 his time, 15 seconds away from the staff as well as & eacute; best performance ever race, dated 2007. In any case, can drop below 13 & rsquo ;, the result that he could not by the Olympic Games in Sochi, where it was silver. It matters little, because & eacute; seal the win his seventh world title. Perch & eacute; direct competitors Denis Sverre Lunde Pedersen Yuskov and end up in fifth (in 13 & rsquo; 12 & rsquo; & rsquo; 49) and fourth (13 & rsquo; 09 & rsquo; & rsquo; 45). The Russian suffers inevitably overtaking Kramer, but defends the & rsquo; silver & ldquo; General & rdquo; from & rsquo; attack the Norwegian. As for the & rsquo; arrival of 10 thousand, are anticipated to be two good skaters who started with & ldquo; & rdquo ;: wheels French Alexis Contin & ndash; 13 & rsquo; 04 & rsquo; & rsquo; 80 his time & ndash; and the Belgian Bart Swings & ndash; 13 & rsquo; 06 & rsquo; & rsquo; 62. For both arrive personal records.
In the women & egrave; correct to speak of & rsquo; enterprise touched & ndash; podium World Allround and Sprint in the same year - Heather Richardson. L & rsquo; American acts back to the big after his amazing first day, that & rsquo; saw her close in the lead in the ranking after the first two tests, l & rsquo; American is the second fastest time in the first race on Sunday, the 1,500 meters. Again the 25-year old Florida ends on the podium thanks to a great one & rsquo; 54 & rsquo; & rsquo; 23.
Vince surprise Ida Nj & aring; tun. The young rider of the Norwegian national is his best performance & ndash; also at lap & ndash; after l & rsquo; single podium in the World Cup, which dates back to 1500 in Berlin of the 2010-2011 season. The talented athlete born in 1991 leaving behind all in one & rsquo; 52 & rsquo; & rsquo; 71, finding the fastest time on the seasonal world away.
Behind him are placed in & rsquo; order Heather Richardson and the number one favorite distance Ireen Wü; st. L & rsquo; Dutch winner of the World Cup of specialty & agrave; 2014 Olympic silver and fresh dell & rsquo; silver champion of single distance, had to settle for third place in 1 & rsquo; 54 & rsquo; & rsquo; 28. Behind her is confirmed in good form on home ice Kali Christ, fourth in 1 & rsquo; 54 & rsquo; & rsquo; 44. Time between the & rsquo; another is his new staff, but that is not enough to catch the second podium & ndash; Yesterday & egrave; finished second in the 500 & ndash; weekend in his world. Fifth comes Martina S & aacute; blikov & aacute ;, able to contain the damage in admirably. 1 & rsquo; 54 & rsquo; & rsquo; 55 for her, chrono important but that is not worth his best performance timekeeping for just 11 cents. Sixth Linda de Vries in one & rsquo; 55 & rsquo; & rsquo; 57 (personal record).
Francesca Lollobrigida falls below the barrier of two minutes. L & rsquo; tesserata athlete for the & rsquo; Air Force runs through the three rounds and 300-meter race in 1 & rsquo; 59 & rsquo; & rsquo; 59. Dramatically improved the 2 & rsquo; 01 & rsquo; & rsquo; 78 & ndash; his previous personal best always got all & rsquo; Canadian Olympic Oval in November 2013 -. Will square cos & Igrave; to 18th place. The time also allows it to keep the score seventeenth overall.
Nell & rsquo; last race of the 5 thousand meters, can not the miracle Heather Richardson, receding of three positions in the overall standings. Despite being the & ldquo; First & rdquo; absolute distance, the 25 year-old High Point gets a great time for a specialist of speed & agrave; neophyte on these distances. 7 & rsquo; 20 & rsquo; & rsquo; 27 earned her the seventh partial, but not the sar & agrave; sufficient to reach a difficult final podium. Ranked yields to Norwegian Ida Nj & aring; tun, the first podium in a competition & ldquo; complete & rdquo; international level.
Everything extremely easy for Martina S & aacute; blikov & aacute ;, which won for favorite logic l & rsquo; last round of the women's program. The 27 year old from the Czech Republic wins in 6 & rsquo; 51 & rsquo; & rsquo; 21. A trial that allows one who & egrave; also the world record holder, to place the paw decisive for winning his third world title Allround, after fasting for five years. The handover takes place in the same battery with the & rsquo; former champion Ireen Wü; st. L & rsquo; Dutch unbeaten at the World Cup between 2010 and 2014 gives the scepter gi & agrave; after 1000 meters, when the Olympic champion over the distance surpasses in the intermediate, increasing the lead up to the more than 12 seconds at the finish line. 7 & rsquo; 03 & rsquo; & rsquo; s 99 & rsquo; oranje allows for & ograve; Heather Richardson to overcome at least in the general classification and that is cos & Igrave; Also l & rsquo; silver Allround & ndash; medal won only once in his career, in 2008, to which he adds to & ograve; five golds and two bronzes.
5000 meters, behind the victorious S & aacute; blikov & aacute ;, will square Linda de Vries (Netherlands) in 7 & rsquo; 03 & rsquo; & rsquo; 43, winning cos & Igrave; the challenge in part on well-pi & ugrave; titrated compatriot Wü; st, advance of 56 cents. The fourth Nj & aring; tun, with his personal best of 7 & rsquo; 04 & rsquo; & rsquo; 00 panned over the previous 5 seconds.
Closes cos & Igrave; a & rsquo; edition of the World Allround definitely uncertain until the last meter races. L & rsquo; & agrave extreme rapidity; dell & rsquo; Oval Calgary brought a myriad of personal records & ndash; well 66 total & ndash; and eight new national records & ndash; five male and three female. But maybe we expected something more & ugrave; by star players. In short, the current world records have been in danger.
L & rsquo; last act of the season on international long track avr & agrave; place March 21 to 22 & nbsp; with the Finals of the World Cup. Concluding event in Erfurt in Germany.
