Francesco A. Armillotta

Engaged in the group of big names in speed skating, Mirko Nenzinon manages the enterprise-bis. In the 1000 Division A, after the silver won in Astana, the Venetian "stops" in eleventh place. 1'10'' 15 the time allowed him to win 24 valuable points in the Cup of specialty. The 24-year time goes podium (56 cents), but at just 21 square from the fourth position. As proof of its continuity of value and results achieved in the last month of racing. Nenzi can be considered stable in the ranking get depressed about ten o'clock performers in the world in 1000.
The gold in the race went to the Italian Korean Tae-Bum Bo (the first of the season) ahead of the Dutch Michel Mulder and Shani Davis. The American champion is then beaten for the first time on 1000.
The 500 Women Division B are mixed for the colors blue and travel under the sign of cents. In a fight (unfortunately) all between compatriots can cheer Yvonne Daldossi. The girl from Lana (Bz) gets a pass for his first Olympics in his career. The South Tyrolean resists the last available place on the list with five hoops, because no rival manages to overcome his best qualifying time. Nothing to do so for the other skater in the fight close to Sochi, Paola Simionato: computation in general, are making a difference two cents in favor of teammate.
In the race to Berlin, Simionato precedes Daldossi (39.90 against 39.92) in 13th and 14th position. The 21-year-cadorina will still be the first reserve list for the Games in Russia.
After the certainty of Yvonne Daldossi, can not cheer his older brother Jan. Called a test really prohibitive, the 23 year old is unable to improve his lap time of entry in the Olympic 1,000 meters and will be forced to give it up. His 1'12'' 60 is not enough to make him climb the rankings valid for the Olympics. Will rebuild tomorrow, where in 500 he defends his position in handy.
Nothing Sochi, at least for now, for Francesca Bettrone. In the 1500 Division B, the blind should not be more than 2'06'' 49. A time in which the race is only valid on the penultimate place and that, in fact, does not allow her to chase the place in the Games. Must be content to be the second largest reserve in the 1500s. Tomorrow will try individually qualified in the 100 and the women's team pursuit, together with companions Simionato Paola and Francesca Lollobrigida.
We will not see in Russia even the Team Pursuit male. After two consecutive Olympics and a gold medal in Turin in 2006, failed to qualify in the top eight teams. Andrea Giovannini, Marco Cignini, Luca Stefani have to say goodbye to Olympic hopefuls, already on the eve prohibitive.
In the battery in or out, Italy had a major direct comparison: first with Germany (which preceded the blues in ranking) and then with the stopwatch. At the blue team fails any of the two struggles: the Germans arrive in front, without ever leaving room for overtaking and the trio off a longer time (3'48'' 60) got the best in Salt Lake City (3'42 ' '14). With no chance to climb the three positions useful for Sochi, blues (tenths at the finish line) so sadly say goodbye to chase Olympic teams in 2014.
The race was won by Berlin favored, Netherlands (although not fielding Sven Kramer). In 3'41'' 46, the Dutch have preceded Japan (to +0.46) and Poland (more than two seconds).
In other distances of Division A, is to report the first victory in the 500 women Olga Fatkulina. The Russian won in 37.92 thanks to the forfeit of the strongest sprinter (the Korean Sang-Hwa Lee). Silver to Chinese Beixing Wang and bronze at the U.S. Heather Richardson. In the 1500 Division A, however, wins the Dutch Ireen Wüst (1'55'' 33 his winning time). Depending on the Polish Katarzyna Bachleda-Curus third and the other Dutch Lotte van Beek.
