But the Thialf s & rsquo; also bows to the Czech Martina S & aacute; blikov & aacute ;, the second title in two days, able to be confirmed for the seventh consecutive time in the 3000 meters. Then come two world titles from the last winners of the same distances in the World Cup, just five days before. It is Denis Yuskov, champion for the second time in the 1500 meters male. And then, in 1000, the American Brittany Bowe & ndash; the first world gold - winning s & Igrave; in & rsquo; last Cup race, but without her compatriot Heather Richardson often l & rsquo; he had beaten and today & egrave; was d & rsquo; silver and disappointed by the defeat.
The Team Pursuit especially the male means, barring unforeseen circumstances, the Netherlands. And cos & Igrave; & Egrave; state, cos & Igrave; as could be especially on home ice, even tonight. The oranje before today had won six titles in seven and went from 10 wins in the last 13 races of the World Cup. Some major defections had left the Dutch with just a hit this season. But tonight c & rsquo; it was the best: Sven Kramer, Koen Verweij and Douwe de Vries, Quest & rsquo; last & ldquo; in place & rdquo; by Jan Blokhuijsen winner in Sochi 2014. In short, the best that a "park shoes" to offer in the Netherlands (and perhaps in the world). The Oranje are a high performance machine, harmonica and the speed & agrave; Constant & ndash; only run once over the 27 & rsquo; & rsquo; to come back - all characteristics that lead them to win clearly in 3 & rsquo; 41 & rsquo; & rsquo; 39. Sharply back opponents, beaten when pi & ugrave; of the season. According to the team of Canada (3 & rsquo; 44 & rsquo; & rsquo; 09) who returns to the world podium after four years. While the bronze if he wins the square leader of the World Cup 2014-15, Korea (Lee, Ko and Kim), third in 3 & rsquo; 44 & rsquo; & rsquo; 96.
L & rsquo; Italy closes in fifth place behind Russia and 2/2 and 11 cents from the podium. A race pi & ugrave; that Mrs Andrea Giovannini, Luca Stefani and Nicola Tumolero, expected to be a growth path that will have & agrave; culminate in 2018. In their conduct battery & egrave; pi & ugrave; than honorable. The quartet is running on Polish Olympic bronze in office (Zbigniew Br & oacute; dka, Jan Szymanski and Konrad Niedzwiedzki), present in them & ndash; l & rsquo; last in order of the board & ndash; battery and got wrecked. The Azzurri start very well finding a good starting point in the first few laps, remain online for the podium until mid & agrave; race, only to disunite slightly and say goodbye & ndash; this seems the term pi & ugrave; right & ndash; the dreams of the podium. These steps per revolution: 30 & rsquo; & rsquo; 9-26 & rsquo; & rsquo; 7-27 & rsquo; & rsquo; 3-27 & rsquo; & rsquo; 8 in half & agrave; Race -27 & rsquo; & rsquo; 7-28 & rsquo; & rsquo; 3, 28 & rsquo; & rsquo; 5-29 & rsquo; & rsquo; 1. Their overall time sar & agrave; 3 & rsquo; 47 & rsquo; & rsquo; 07. Remains a heightened awareness: l & rsquo; s Team Pursuit pu & ograve; give satisfaction to the Italian skating.
& Nbsp;
In the women's 1,000 meters & egrave; again two goals for the United States. A predictable result in the light of what has been done by the skaters see the stars and stripes lately. But, unlike what happened in the last two races in direct comparisons of the World Cup, prevails often placed dell & rsquo; last month and a half Brittany Bowe. The 26 year old Florida, former rotellista, won his first world title on the ice. His race & egrave; a spectacular ride that leads her to improve what he had done in & rsquo; last edition rainbow, where conquered & ograve; bronze always on kilometer. The world record holder you will confirm & agrave; after l & rsquo; arrival, that & rsquo; entire season preparation was aimed to arrive at Heerenveen in top condition. This time his team & ndash; after total flop at the Olympics in 2014 - has not missed anything. Its excellent performance, that & rsquo; has seen before for seven cents to & rsquo; last lap after starting pi & ugrave; controlled, the door to win the & rsquo; gold in 1 & rsquo; 13 & rsquo; & rsquo; 90. Excellent time lowering the track record of the burying of more than half a second one got a couple of minutes before the Richardson. Rises cos & Igrave; the woman pi & ugrave; Fast & ndash; confirming also the world record seasonal & ndash; about 1000 meters.
So still eludes the world title in Heather Richardson, one of the pi & ugrave; defeats of this second day. L & rsquo; American fails again l & rsquo; appointment with the & rsquo; gold in a worldwide competition dry & ndash; had already & agrave; won & ldquo; only & rdquo; a bronze in 2011-while giving the best on his debut in the Championships. The 26 year old is content of & rsquo; while world silver thanks to excellent performance of one & rsquo; 14 & rsquo; & rsquo; 49, chrono that had surpassed the previous record on the track. If he wins the bronze in 1 & rsquo; 15 & rsquo; & rsquo; 26 the Czech Karolina Erbanov & aacute ;, 22 year old to his first career podium in the 1500 Senior (World Cup included).
Unfortunately for the speech podium for the & rsquo; awaited Ireen Wü; st saying goodbye to the podium just in & rsquo; last battery that was committed against Erbanov & aacute ;. The Olympic silver medalist in office & ndash; and world gold in 2007 & ndash; missing the medal for 24 cents. & Ldquo; The fourth? The worst possible placement & rdquo ;, commented l & rsquo; Dutch clearly grim after l & rsquo; arrival. Fifth China's points leader in Cup 2014-15 Li Quishi (1 & rsquo; 15 & rsquo; & rsquo; 66), & nbsp; before the Canadian Kali Christ, while the second Dutch in & rsquo; order d & rsquo; arrival, Marrit Leenstra, & egrave; only seventh. It should be clearly worse the reigning champion, Russian Olga Fatkulina, which closes only in thirteenth place.
It was expected since the day before. The 1500 meter men did not have a favorite d & rsquo; obligation in the group of 24 skaters at the start of the World, cos & Igrave; as in the course of the five Cup events, which have rewarded many different winners. In Heerenveen, for & ograve; c & rsquo; & egrave; was continuity & agrave; of the faces on the podium. He won the one who had triumphed in & rsquo; last played in 1500 two weeks before, as well as & eacute; two years earlier in & rsquo; last edition: Denis Yuskov. The Russian made a superb 1 & rsquo; 43 & rsquo; & rsquo; 36 in the sixth battery and reduces the record of the track of Shani Davis (1 & rsquo; 44 & rsquo; & rsquo; 48, set in 2009). & Egrave; new d & rsquo; gold after the surprising victory rainbow obtained on 2013 & rsquo; Adler Arena in Sochi. Today, at age 25, got the final consecration, erasing the disappointment that Olympic port & ograve; only fourth place.
Behind him stood the & rsquo; 1 & rsquo; 45 & rsquo; & rsquo; 08 hardly absent in the important moments Denny Morrison. The 29 year-old Canadian gi & agrave; twice champion & ndash; 2008 and 2012 & ndash; distance is cos & Igrave; his tenth medal & ndash; & Egrave; in the top ten all-time overall World Cup on Single Distances. And cos & Igrave; celebrates great with the & rsquo; silver.
Third l & rsquo; Dutch announced less fit than the other two companions: l & rsquo; Olympic silver Koen Verweij. Author of a great one & rsquo; 45 & rsquo; & rsquo; 15. L & rsquo; oranje champion at the World Allround 2014 adds cos & Igrave; another piece to his career: an individual medal at the World Single Distances on, after the three & ndash; two gold and one silver & ndash; obtained with l & rsquo; s Team Pursuit. The disappointment & ograve; & Egrave; all the faces of Shani Davis and the other Dutch. L & rsquo; American two-time Olympian in 1000 is his best race of the season, but & egrave; forced to fourth place, spaced 69 cents from time & ldquo; bronze & rdquo; of Verweij.
The home favorites Kjeld Nuis and Wouter Olde Heuvel did not come ever competing for a medal. Nuis & ndash; three podiums in the 1500 season in the Cup and protagonist with two wins in the 1000 last weekend & ndash; & Egrave; only ninth in 1 & rsquo; 46 & rsquo; & rsquo; 32. Olde Heuvel is even worse (1 & rsquo; 46 & rsquo; & rsquo; 97) and stops at the 14th place. Only sixth Olympic champion Zbigniew Br & oacute; dka, preceded by the amazing French Alexis Contin.
