The spectacle of the sprinter, for & ograve ;, there will be absent significant especially in the women's field. Do not & agrave; part of contention rainbow Olympic champion of the 500 meters, as well as & eacute; Sprint World Championship bronze in office, Lee Sang-Hwa. The rider of South Korea & egrave; the pits for the long-term problems. It could be forced to undergo surgery on his left knee, the d & agrave; major hassles from last season, despite the Olympic victory. Probably terminer & agrave; in advance of the season. Not correr & agrave; even the winner of the titles in 2012 and 2014 & ndash; Quest & rsquo; last in Nagano, Japan & ndash; China's Yu Jing.
Conversely, for & ograve ;, there will be the formidable American d & rsquo; gold & ndash; respectively of 500 and 1000 meters & ndash; the recent World Single Distances of Heerenveen. Or Heather Richardson and Brittany Bowe (both pictured on the cover). Both are in a state of exceptional form in this 2015 and have equally divided the victories at the recent Championships in the Netherlands: the Richardson went 500 on Bowe. And in quest & rsquo; last & egrave; then went l & rsquo; gold in 1000 in front of his compatriot. Joined to the domain in the last stages of the World Cup, they are the main suspects in the title. The main opponents come from & rsquo; and from Europe & rsquo; Asia. Beginning with the German Judith Hesse, victorious in the 500 (second series) in & rsquo; last stage of World Cup. And then, the fresh three times world champion Junior & ndash; of 500, 1000 and Mass Start - Vanessa Bittner (Austria) and the always formidable Dutch Thijsje Oenema and Margot Boer. Quishi Li (China) and Karolina Erbanov & aacute; (Czech Republic) are the other specialists of 1000. It could lead to major pitfalls of the dream couple of the US team. Attention to Nao Kodaira, fresh from the world championship bronze in the 500 & ndash; Distances Singles & ndash; often placed in career that awaits its first medal in the Sprint Championships. The Japanese riuscir & agrave; to dispel the tab & ugrave; after a quarter and two fifth places in the event?
Yvonne Daldossi sar & agrave; l & rsquo; the only Italian in the race among the 27 women at the start of the challenge rainbow & ldquo; Sprint & rdquo ;. The 23 year-old South Tyrolean & egrave; just back from a great period in which & egrave; succeeded in establishing itself & ndash; for the first time in his career & ndash; in a race of the World Cup of Division B. Done happened in Heerenveen, February 7. On the same Thialf Arena, a week pi & ugrave; Later, & egrave; been good on the 18th at the World Single Distance.
It seems all set for a discounted new coronation Sprinter pi & ugrave; infallible this season. This is the 21 year old Russian Pavel Kulizhnikov, so infallible & ndash; or nearly & ndash; having dominated by between 500 and 1000 meters in the World Cup with 10 wins out of 16 races on the calendar: 62% success! A domain & ndash; in its season d & rsquo; onset & ndash; that & rsquo; has pulled ahead in the overall standings. Then to confirm its superiority & agrave; & Egrave; came the first world title & ndash; on Single Distance - 500. But in the & rsquo; & egrave impression; confirmed by his fast times.
L & rsquo; s experience & rsquo; silver in 2014 Shani Davis, reborn after a season so far subdued, could counter Russian. Two-time Olympic champion in 1000 has placed the paw unexpected at the recent world, ahead of its Kulizhnikov and Kjeld Nuis, Quest & rsquo; last absent in Kazakhstan. For the podium could cos & Igrave; apply many other skaters on similar levels. From German Nico Ihle the Dutch Hein Otterspeer, Michel Mulder & ndash; Olympic champion and holder of the title is not in a brilliant moment & ndash; and Pim Schipper. Attention to the home favorite Denis Kuzin, fourth a year ago and the Korean & ldquo; & rdquo in decline; Mo Tae-Bum, who for & ograve; still lacks the & rsquo; sprint gold in a very successful career.
L & rsquo; Italian terraced two points at the start, cos & Igrave; as happened in & rsquo; Edition 2014. Conditioned by a season that does not & egrave; never fully took off in the World Cup, Mirko Giacomo Nenzi remains the best paper of the Italian national team in Asia led by engineer Giorgio Baroni. The special feeling of the Venetian with the & rsquo; oval Astana & ndash; where he got his first and only podium finish in the World Cup, in December 2013 & ndash; could revive its shares. Moreover, the tuning of the financier & egrave; active even when it comes to World Sprint: just in the last edition arriv & ograve; third in the 500 meters d & rsquo; debut. A year ago & since Igrave; eleventh in the general classification. L & rsquo; s goal & rsquo; blue & egrave; to enter at least the top 10 sprinters at the start. L & rsquo; other arrow of blue ice & egrave; the Trentino David Bosa, according to Italian center the pass after the qualification rounds in Heerenveen.
