While the American Heather Richardson won his first race of the season in front of the girlfriend Brittany Bowe. Italians are tasted a convincing & nbsp; Andrea Giovannini, author of & rsquo; yet another convincing evidence in the 5000 meters, where & egrave; came eleventh. While end up much more & ugrave; behind other athletes - all engaged in Division B - trained technicians Giorgio Baroni and Stefano Donagrandi.
The first joy of winning the Saturday afternoon & rsquo; have donated Heather Richardson and Brittany Bowe, able to place their second double of the season in the Cup. But this time exchange roles. And being the only American team this last stage from Berlin, slanting the & ldquo; factor Use & rdquo; in a truly incisive in this month of December. & nbsp; The distance that rewards the arrows to the stars and stripes & egrave; always the same: the 1000 meters. The Richardson, holding the cup of specialty & agrave; (But blatantly gi & ugrave; from the podium of Sochi 2014), finds a victory that was missing from the March 9, in the stage of Inzell. And after four consecutive second places last & ndash; two in 500, one in 1000 and 1500), is a full smile. The 25 year-old native of North Carolina won with the final time of 1 & rsquo; 14 & rsquo; & rsquo; 63, holding the & rsquo; attack Bowe (1 & rsquo; 14 & rsquo; & rsquo; 68) in the recovery in the last 600 meters. Behind them again confirms woman laying down on the podium of the 1000, Li Quishi. The Chinese has so far racked up three bronze & ndash; including the third place today & ndash; and a gold in Seoul. Ireen Wü; st (1 & rsquo; 15 & rsquo; & rsquo; 75) & egrave; the great excluded from the podium in Heerenveen. The Dutch champion & egrave; fourth, just 4 cents from & rsquo; Asian. Even more & ugrave; Back & ndash; eighth - Marrit Leenstra l & rsquo; other spearhead oranje and until this afternoon before level on points in the overall standings over the distance. Marrit & egrave; now been superseded by Li, that precedes by 34 points.
In Division B, in the race won by the Japanese Ayaka Kikuchi, l & rsquo; blue Yvonne Daldossi is a bad performance that relegates, sadly, in the final & ndash; ie 21st - position. L & rsquo; Tyrolean covers his kilometer race in one & rsquo; 22 & rsquo; & rsquo; 31. A time very high.
For the second time in his career he was involved in the 5000 meters in Division A. And once again l & rsquo; blue Andrea Giovannini demonstrates its continued growth, both in terms of the end times, and for the personality & agrave; which is adapting increasingly & ugrave; to compete with the & ldquo; big & rdquo ;. The Pinetano finds himself in battery with Yevgeny Seryaev, just as happened last Saturday in Berlin. And as in Germany, the Trentino won the personal duel with the Russian during the 12 laps and 200 meters of the race. These his passes for each round (400 meters): 29 & rsquo; & rsquo; 7, 30 & rsquo; & rsquo; 6, 30 & rsquo; & rsquo; 3, 30 & rsquo; & rsquo; 5, 30 & rsquo; & rsquo; 6, 30 & rsquo; & rsquo; 7, 31 & rsquo; & rsquo; 0, 31 & rsquo; & rsquo; 1, 31 & rsquo; & rsquo; 4, 31 & rsquo; & rsquo; 5, 31 & rsquo; & rsquo; 5 and closing in 31 & rsquo; & rsquo; 8. In short, a good seal to the distance that I favored especially in the final steps. 6 & rsquo; 30 & rsquo; & rsquo; 59 his final time, which improves by more than three seconds as did the Sportforum (third after six) and not & egrave; far from his personal best over the distance. Closes all & rsquo; eleventh place, equaling his best finish in 5 thousand, seized Saturday, December 6th. The Trentino salt also & nbsp; 13th place & ndash; 94 points scored - in the ranking that takes into account the seasonal placings to 5 and 10 thousand.
After him c & rsquo; it was the battery with the Olympic champion Sven Kramer, who takes the win in 6 & rsquo; 12 & rsquo; & rsquo; 74, ahead of countrymen Jorrit Bergsma (6 & rsquo; 14 & rsquo; & rsquo; 58) and Wouter Olde Heuvel (6 & rsquo; 19 & rsquo; & rsquo; 08). The champion native of Heerenveen, gets his individual victory number 32 & ndash; Only 26 in 5000 - in his career in the World Cup. Finally comes the first tris all Dutch and explodes the party to Thialf, party postponed after the first day of competition too stingy of satisfaction. The battle for victory & egrave; roughly a national championship just in Heerenveen. It was predictable, given the traditional domain oranje in the fund. Witness also the fourth place of Bob de Jong, who & egrave; managed to defend the lead in the standings specialty & agrave ;. To see a skater & ldquo; foreign & rdquo ;, you have to get the name of Sverre Lunde Pedersen, Norwegian and fifth.
In Division B, l & rsquo; unique blue was committed Luca Stefani. The 27 year old Asiago is another point & ndash; & Egrave; seven -of specialty & agrave; on the distance. It is in 14th place 6 & rsquo; 37 & rsquo; & rsquo; 15. & Egrave; its seasonal staff on distance. And this time, in addition to the satisfaction clockwork, he also takes a point in the standings specialty & agrave ;.
The Team Pursuit female sees the predictable domain & ndash; do not lose a beat since December 2012 - dell & rsquo; Holland. The master of the house, despite the & rsquo; absence announced column Ireen Wü; st & ndash; on the track to incite compagne-, demonstrate their superiority & agrave; in the team events with Marrit Leenstra, Carlijn Achtereekte and Linda de Vries in 2 & rsquo; 59 & rsquo; & rsquo; 66. Behind them end Germany (Claudia Pechstein, Bente Kraus and Isabelle Ost) in 3 & rsquo; 01 & rsquo; & rsquo; 95 and the trio of Poland (Goss, Wozniak, Zlotkowska) in 3 & rsquo; 02 & rsquo; & rsquo; 31.
Seems to come directly from Pianetta ice, Pavel Kulizhnikov. The Russian is his seventh win of the season and strengthens its leadership on the distance, with the great trial 1 & rsquo; 08 & rsquo; & rsquo; 77. In the 1000 meters, this season, & nbsp; no skater had managed to get off & ndash; in the World Cup and then on non-fast - under the barrier of & rsquo; 1 & rsquo; 09 & rsquo; & rsquo ;. The 20 year-old shows a superiority & agrave; really overwhelming. In quest & rsquo; & ograve occasion can not; do much despite the great Dutch Kjeld Nuis, who says in his one & rsquo; 09 & rsquo; & rsquo; 04 but you have to sit in second place, trailing by 27 cents from the peak. Early compatriot Hein Otterspeer third thanks to the time of one & rsquo; 09 & rsquo; & rsquo; 06. Far l & rsquo; awaited and acclaimed by the competent public Thialf, world record holder Shani Davis appeared in the American condition reviewable in quest & rsquo; start to the season does not go beyond the & rsquo; eighth: & egrave; l & rsquo; beginning of his natural decline? We will see in the next appointments. Ends even more & ugrave; back (11th) also the veteran 33 year old Olympic champion Stefan Groothuis.
Mirko Giacomo Nenzi Bosa and David were the only two Italians who have raced the distance in Division B. The two blues have respectively finished tenth and 18th place. Time, 1 & rsquo; 11 & rsquo; & rsquo; 15 for the Venetian, while the Trent stopped the clock at 1 & rsquo; 12 & rsquo; & rsquo; 03. Both have improved their precision timekeeping obtained in Berlin. He won the & rsquo; Dutch Pim Shipper in one & rsquo; 10 & rsquo; & rsquo; 04 to 15 cents before the & ldquo; demoted & rdquo; from group A, the Korean Mo Tae-Bum.
