This is a summary of the two distances races in the Italian morning, corresponding to the late afternoon in Korea. In the 500 meters men's & egrave; Everything was easy for Pavel Kulizhnikov. The champion sprinter and world record holder over the distance you & egrave; easily imposed in 34 & rsquo; & rsquo; 76, of an excellent standard time. The 21 year old Russian has won Vorkuta on & rsquo; Dutch Kai Verbij (34 & rsquo; & rsquo; 94) and the Finn Mika Poutala (34 & rsquo; & rsquo; 95). Above 35 & rsquo; & rsquo; the fourth place, the South Korean Kim Tae-Yun. While Nuis & ndash; second overall & ndash; disappointed by closing 14 & deg; in 35 & rsquo; & rsquo; 29.

Try disappointing for the world record holder over 1000m Brittany Bowe does not go beyond a partial third place & ndash; 1 & rsquo; 15 & rsquo; & rsquo; 51 & ndash; in his favorite distance. The race on the kilometer goes to the fresh world champion who graduated this two weeks ago in Kolomna (Russia), Jorien ter Mors.

The second place was the Richardson-Bergsma pi & ugrave; slow the winner of 28 cents. Fourth l & rsquo; other Dutch specialist, Marrit Leenstra (1 & rsquo; 16 & rsquo; & rsquo; 18), in front of the bronze in & ldquo; General & rdquo; last year, the Czech Karolina Erbanov & aacute ;. Only sixth l & rsquo; waiting Zhang Hong (1 & rsquo; 17 & rsquo; & rsquo; 23), which can not be repeated & lsquo; excellent exploits achieved little more & ugrave; a & rsquo; now first in the 500.
L & rsquo; blue Yvonne Daldossi, definitely less comfortable than in the 1000 & ldquo; your & rdquo; 500, does not go over the 29 & deg; and last place among the athletes at the start of the Sprint World Cup.
