There & egrave; changed a lot in the hierarchy of the long runway. And even if there & rsquo; & egrave; looking forward to the new, l & rsquo; Dutch & nbsp; remains the dominant language.

The ice & nbsp; Obihiro, Japan, saw the debut & nbsp; & nbsp ISU World Cup, for the first seven outings of the season 2014-15 of the event. And the & nbsp; Meiji Hokkaido-Tokachi Oval & nbsp; & agrave the city; Japanese rejoice in the & ldquo; usual & rdquo; samples oranje & ndash; Quest & rsquo; s year in the race with a blue suit and gray - & nbsp; Sven Kramer & nbsp; (5000 meters) & nbsp; and & nbsp; Ireen W & uuml; st & nbsp; (3000) & nbsp; and the phenomenal & nbsp; Lee Sang-Hwa & nbsp; the speed & agrave; Pure & nbsp; 500 meters women. In & nbsp; & nbsp field, men's, however, triumphed in the 500 & nbsp; Jan Smeekens & nbsp; (photo cover), before the young Russians, perhaps the real big news & agrave; Obihiro. Start on the right foot also & nbsp; the & rsquo; Italy & nbsp; technical & nbsp; Baroni & nbsp; and & nbsp; Donagrandi. Especially thanks to & nbsp; Andrea Giovannini & nbsp; & ndash; & nbsp; & nbsp second, in Division B & nbsp; in 5000 & ndash; and that we can admire in the & nbsp; top group & nbsp; from his next race over the distance. & nbsp; So another Italian earn promotion after & nbsp; Mirko James Nenzi & nbsp; - Today sixteenth in the 500 Division A.

Starting from the & rsquo; blue, even the & rsquo; s top athlete of the National, or, Mirko James Nenzi to debut in the World Cup. The Venetian is found in the battery with the Canadian William Dutton, in the first heat of the 500 meters competition (series two) of the first group of about. The newly 25 year old & ndash; today has taken years & ndash; can be found in the outside lane and closes its proof & rsquo; s debut in the 35 & rsquo; & rsquo; 83. The time earned him the 16th overall position. Realize, however, his personal best season, by filing three cents to the course in Inzell last month.
For the victory speech, Jan Smeekens place the paw of success in 35 & rsquo; & rsquo; 06. The Olympic runner back to win in the Cup, taking up the discourse from its & rsquo; s last race in Heerenveen in 2014. With gold had closed and reopened with a gold. But the real surprise comes immediately after him. On the remaining two positions on the podium of the men's sprint race rises World Cup debutants in that center immediately the bang. Behind him of Smeekens comes a duo of young Russian skaters composed by Pavel Kulizhnikov (35 & rsquo; & rsquo; 16) and Ruslan Murashov (35 & rsquo; & rsquo; 24) who are returning to the national podium in a sprint race male from Astana in 2013. The two young men & ndash; Kulizhnikov Murashow born in 1994 and 1992 & ndash; and not a little surprising in such a context. They were very quick in qualifying for the World Cup in Kolomna. Just off the podium for two thousandths, l & rsquo; Oranje Hein Hotterspeer. While disappoint a lot of Korean, one of the largest accredited to victory & ndash; view the & rsquo; s no brothers Mulder - Mo Tae-Bum. Place it in 14th place.
Fine podium & ldquo; B & rdquo; 5000 meters for Andrea Giovannini, the great hope for the blue long-term future, that lands for the first time in his career in Division A. We expect growth signals from him and you & egrave; made to wait. In fact, for the Trent finally gets a great result in Division B. And, importantly, the promotion of the best in the world of 5:10 thousand feet from the next stop in Seoul. The skater then baselghino debut with a second place in his favorite race of 5000 meters. His & egrave; an important time of 6 & rsquo; 35 & rsquo; & rsquo; 58, which earned him many as 27 points in the standings specialty & agrave ;. Better than he does the only Polish Jan Szymanski in 6 & rsquo; 29 & rsquo; & rsquo; 51, which by the & rsquo; another with this trial would come without problems in the first 10 in the match of Group A.
In the same race, in the second division, made its debut season in the World Cup & nbsp; Nicholas Tumolero. Good a time of 6 & rsquo; 49 & rsquo; & rsquo; 15, which is also true of the conquest of the first 3 points in ISU World Cup, with the 12th overall lap time. Not far from its staff on the distance found a month ago. Its growth & ndash; counting that has made a few months 20 years - & egrave; just begun.
L & rsquo; s unique blue committed & ndash; as well as & eacute; this only in Japan - the opening day in Obihiro was Yvonne Daldossi. L & rsquo; South Tyrol does not go beyond the 12th place & nbsp; beautiful 500 meters in Division B. Its time & egrave; quite disappointing and stops at 40 & rsquo; & rsquo; 31.
In the same race, always in group B, but the male Italians in the race were two. David Bosa (36 & rsquo; & rsquo; 36) and Luke Zanghellini (36 & rsquo; & rsquo; 77), respectively, in closed position number 19 and 20. For a test to be read with a double interpretation. Bosa can & ograve; worth much less at the fastest time. Zanghellini, however, who turned 20 on November 4, was also the first in the World Cup from Senior. It started well & igrave; his adventure among young and will have & agrave; time to improve and improve. Note the & rsquo; s important time trial (35 & rsquo; & rsquo; 25 and 35 & rsquo; & rsquo; 30) in which the two Russians Yesin and Kuznetsov won the test of Division B. Both would be placed among the top five of Division A.
In the other races, as mentioned above, the values ​​remain more & ugrave; or less the same of & rsquo; s last season. Lee Sang-Hwa plays a role right from & rsquo; s debut and won the victory in the women's 500 (Series 1) in the 38 & rsquo; & rsquo; 07. The Olympic champion in the sprint submits his cue once lanciatasi after the start. Amazing win percentage on the games played by the 25 year old Asian campionissima: pretty, with her present at the start of the sprint distance, in the & rsquo; s Cup last season, there & rsquo; & egrave; was room for more winners.
A Obihiro we hoped and we hoped too. But there & rsquo; & egrave; was nothing to do for the darling of the house, Nao Kodaira. The Japanese sprinter had to settle the square d & rsquo; s honor after she had been in the lead for most of the race, just to at & rsquo; s last fatal & ndash; for you & ndash; battery. & Egrave; d & rsquo; s silver in the 38 & rsquo; & rsquo; 18. Third comes the Cup winning specialty & agrave; 2013-14, the 24-year old Russian Olga Fatkulina, quite far from the Asian duo in the lead, with a total time of 38 & rsquo; & rsquo; 50.
Sven Kramer does not fail the first assault seasonal success. The phenomenon of Heerenveen is the 25th career victory in the 5000 meters at the World Cup. At present, the champion does not seem beatable on its distances, even after the & rsquo; s operation respiratory sub & igrave; t last spring. It had already & agrave; demonstrated in the trials Netherlands in recent days. The 28 year old won in 6 & rsquo; 20 & rsquo; & rsquo; 90. Distanced his fellow podium, Russian Aleksandr Rumyantsev (6 & rsquo; 23 & rsquo; & rsquo; 56) and the & rsquo; another Dutchman Wouter Olde Heuvel (6 & rsquo; 24 & rsquo; & rsquo; 03). Fourth Olympic bronze in Sochi, which has & ldquo; almost & rdquo; seriously to retire, only to a rethinking of & rsquo; s last moment, the 38 year old - yesterday - & nbsp; Bob de Jong.
All to be enjoyed was the super challenge between two champions of the caliber of Ireen W & uuml; st and Martina S & aacute; bl & iacute; kov & aacute ;. The two are the same battery seasonal debut in the 3000-meter Division A and the first check. L & rsquo; s newly elected Dutch & ldquo; Women's Olympic Winter Games 2014 & rdquo; won the direct challenge and, as expected, consequently, the race in 4 & rsquo; 04 & rsquo; & rsquo; 91. The skater from the Czech Republic & egrave; second in the final standings, but now & egrave; appeared very upset due to an error in the & rsquo; s last intersection with the & rsquo; Dutch, it loses the pace at a time that was catching. Martina & egrave; however, second in 4 & rsquo; 06 & rsquo; & rsquo; 11. After three and a half years, Jorien Voorhuis back on the podium Cup. The 30 year old oranje coached d Gianni Romme, is in third place in 4 & rsquo; 07 & rsquo; & rsquo; & rsquo; 04. Seventh Claudia Pechstein.
