A world medal swooping in sporting history of the 28 year old skater Cant & ugrave ;. Not new & agrave ;, because it was already & agrave; was multi-titled world-wide, but in roller skating. Francolins becomes cos & Igrave; a hero of two worlds. It celebrates cos & Igrave; a & rsquo; unexpected medal behind world champion & ndash; the first in the Mass Start & ndash; l & rsquo; Dutchman Arjen Stroetinga and ahead of Frenchman Alexis Contin. About an exciting final sprint that saw the & rsquo; blue jump at the right time in the bunch sprint and touch for pennies & ndash; six to be precise & ndash; even l & rsquo; gold. Second place in & rsquo; the last sprint & egrave; for & ograve; enough to win 40 points & ndash; the first has forfeited 60 - that & rsquo; led all & rsquo; silver.
Francolins becomes cos & Igrave; the third Italian able to get on the podium individual. Previously the only Roberto Sighel & ndash; bronze in 1500 in 1998 & ndash; and Enrico Fabris & ndash; two silvers in 5 thousand between 2007 and 2008 and another 10 thousand in the second place, again in 2008 & ndash; had succeeded in & rsquo; enterprise. A & rsquo; operates almost unprecedented that of & rsquo; Italian, considering the fact that before today had played only one & rsquo; other Mass Start & ndash; in December and always on the legendary Thialf Heerenveen - where arriv & ograve; gi & agrave; third with the suit of the national team. Podium that had been enough to secure a World Cup qualifying. Previously, l & rsquo; athlete Lombard had given proof of his good attitude on the ice and in the races of departures in line with the excellent performance in the Dutch circuit of marathons on the ice. But l & rsquo; silver got this afternoon repays his great talent on skates.
The expedition led by c.t. Giorgio Baroni and Stefano Donagrandi returns to Italy with a prestigious and historic medal. The Mass Start confirms a discipline-mine of satisfaction for the & rsquo; Italy, given the contemporary fifth place by Andrea Giovannini, party among the eligible candidates favorites and author of a race between the protagonists, that & rsquo; saw score six points during the intermediate sprints. The Trentino, for & ograve ;, not & egrave; managed to remain among the first on the threshold of supervolata final. But l & rsquo; Italy c & rsquo; it was thanks to his teammate.
L & rsquo; last day of competition has assigned then the last world championships.
L & rsquo; Holland, not cos & Igrave; effective as you might think the eve concluded Championships celebrating the two golds in the Mass Start. Gi & agrave ;, because & eacute; in addition to the success of Stroetinga in the men's field, you & egrave; graduated world champion also compatriot Irene Schouten, who won the women's race. Again the oranje were rewarded by the final sprint. Women d & rsquo; Holland played perfectly team in the final laps. With compatriot Mariska Huisman (bronze) were able to repel the attempt of & rsquo; blue Francesca Lollobrigida in the last meters. The tactic has also allowed the Schouten & ndash; 22 years and always on the podium in the race line in this season of Cup & ndash; of winning in the final sprint. Unfortunately for the Canadian Ivanie Blondin, silver but still happy.
Is ranked fourteenth place the 24 year old & ndash; birthday was February 7 - Francesca Lollobrigida. L & rsquo; the only Italian in the race & ndash; a & ldquo; & rdquo solitude; decisive for the management of the Mass Start - not & egrave; managed to find the cue from the podium while remaining close to the former. But the Roman pu & ograve; still be satisfied for the course among the stars even during the middle stages of the race, even without winning points in the intermediate sprints.
As for the last two individual titles in races against time, l & rsquo; last afternoon on the Thialf has rewarded the young Russian Pavel Kulizhnikov, true ruler of men's 500 meters, in which he dominated both series with the best times. 34 & rsquo; & rsquo; 383 in the first 500 and 34 & rsquo; & rsquo; in 548 seconds for a total score of 68 931. A continuity & agrave; that none of the rivals & egrave; managed to have. He tried the Olympic champion Michel Mulder, but not & egrave; went over a good medal & rsquo; Silver (total of two runs 69 622). The Canadian Laurent Dubreuil won the bronze medal thanks to a & rsquo; excellent second run (34 & rsquo; & rsquo; 723), displacing cos & Igrave; l & rsquo; another Dutchman Hein Otterspeer fourth and disappointed.
Only the ninth world champion, the Korean Mo Tae-Bum. While l & rsquo; unique blue in the race, Mirko Giacomo Nenzi, finished in 19th place overall. The Venetian could climb a few places and center a place in the top 15, but it has paid a first series imperfect, in which he ran with a time of 35 & rsquo; & rsquo; 648 that & egrave; earned him the 21th place on the list of 24 participants. In the second series Nenzi did much better, stopping the race time at 35 & rsquo; & rsquo; 503, his seventh season best chronometric performance on the 500 meters.
From 1,500 meters to the female & egrave; still got a & ldquo; defeat d & rsquo; silver & rdquo; burning much for Ireen Wü; st. For the first time since 2009, the three times Olympic champion closes the show with no golds. L & rsquo; 1 & rsquo; 54 & rsquo; & rsquo; 76 of the 28-year old sport of & rsquo; year 2014 in the Netherlands, not & egrave; enough against the & rsquo; 1 & rsquo; 54 & rsquo; & rsquo; 27 the winner Brittany Bowe, who has literally made full of medals at these Championships 2015. The original US skater Florida back cos & Igrave; home with two golds & ndash; 1000 and 1500 meters & ndash; and a silver in the 500. Along with Martina S & aacute; blikov & aacute ;, now fourth on the distance, & egrave; the woman of the World Cup. Just the Czech closes with a little disappointment the World Championships in Heerenveen four days. Is anticipated by the second star American Heather Richardson.
