The main news is the always (for better or worse) "The Incredible" Shani Davis. The champion Chicago roaring back in the 1000 meters men. He can not erase the Olympics horrible, but at least it takes up the habit in February after a difficult win for him. Davis Square winning the leg (1'08'' 70) box is checked for 10 cents gold in Sochi Stefan Groothuis. The countryman Davis, Brian Hansen finished third at 20 cents from the peak.
In the race which saw him finish on the podium of the big, Mirko Nenzi splint and is disqualified because of an invasion of the lane. Too bad for the "zero" in the standings (that does not compromise Cup finals), and because the Venetian could have the inside track with a battery-mate of respect: the Dutchman Koen Verweij. First 200 meters in 16'' 60. 25'' 9 partial to the next 400 (back). All nullified by mistake while Verweij, flew up to fourth place. In Division B, Bosa David proves in great shape making his seasonal staff in 1'11'' 03 (time which earned him eighth place) and approaching 22 cents of his best career on 1000.
The most satisfying race for the Italian colors, therefore, was undoubtedly that of the men's 500 meters. The Italian team puts collects a sixth place overall and first in the second group of expertise. Good, but not without some regret, Mirko Nenzi. The blue finishes sixth in the first round of the men's 500 Division A. The placement today is his best result of the season in the sprint distance in the first group of the Cup, but he could aspire to a step on the podium without an avoidable mistake. The blue, in fact, makes good use of a battery very fast, which began in trunk with German Nico Ihle at his side. Nenzi get an effective starting with 9'' 81 to 100 meters and despite an exit of the last corner very large and complicated, it remains fast. In fact, the 24 year old Venetian stopped the clock at 35'' 22. Anticipates his battery mate Ihle (35'' 10), but we can guess that soon it will be a really good time. The German will close in third place.
The victory ends at the Olympic bronze medalist Ronald Mulder (the last series with the twin Michel, "only" fifth). According to the Canadian Gilmore Junio ​​6 cents, while the third place if it wins its Ihle. Too bad for Nenzi, that he could compete for a medal. Blue earns 45 points that make him climb to 18th place in the league Cup: Finals Heerenveen see him among the leaders.
David Bosa wins and convinces in 35'' 57 in the 500-meter Division B. The Trent puts all in a row the companions of group B His time is his third best performance timekeeping season and the first Cup podium. When you consider that the two best realized in the fast ring in Salt Lake City, last November, the chrono today is excellent for the 21 year old under the Golden Flame.
The 3000 women confirmed the dominance of current Ireen Wüst. The Dutch inscribed his name in the 2013-14 Cup winners on the distance, ousting the one who until a few months ago seemed to be the queen of the fund: Martina Sablikova. The Czech Republic, after the defeat in the 3000 Olympics against dell'oranje, capitulates therefore also in Inzell. The clear superiority of Wüst, who won in 4'01'' 52. One of the best time trial seasonal arrived almost at the end of the season and carried away from the oval in Salt Lake City, to be clear, the fastest in the world. Sablikova that you see at a distance of nearly 2 and a half seconds (4'04 equity, its arrival time.) Third winner of the Dutch Allround Championships (with Wüst absent, though) last weekend, Yvonne Nauta. 4'04'44, the time for the 23 year-old second podium on the distance. Olga Graf off the podium. The Russian fourth and, due to the "intrusion" of Nauta, is not replicated exactly the same podium in Sochi 2014.
Well the only blue engaged in the race, albeit in Division B. Francesca Lollobrigida comes fifth in 3000 in the second group. His 4'12'' 92 confirms a good run of form, already revealed in the 1500 yesterday, and adds confidence in the Mass Start test that will be involved tomorrow. Meanwhile, he earned another 15 points in the standings specialty: now threatens the top 20.
Heather Richardson likes it. The highly anticipated return to the U.S. after yesterday's victory, repeating the success in the second series of 500m. 35'' 70 that is the first U.S. athlete. But this time the victory is much more pronounced. Yesterday had won for just a penny. The Russian Olga Fatkulina is silver +0.14 seconds from Richardson. The third German Jenny Wolf (35'' 89). Yvonne Daldossi stops at 22nd place in 39'' 89. The South Tyrol has worsened the trial yesterday in the 500, although in the second test match in the outside lane.
The Mass Start Men saw a great one-two Dutch and Andrea Giovannini. The Netherlands triumphed thanks to teamwork. Vince Arjan Stroetinga who along with compatriot Bob de Vries manages to deny a possible victory in the final laps of the Belgian Bart Swings. Giovannini closes with an excellent eighth place. And the blue behaves very well in the intermediate sprints. In the first finished second behind Brian Hansen (4 championship points earned), while in the third (on lap 15) picks up a point (they finished fourth). During the last part of the race The young Trentino launches also in pursuit of the first, but fails, however, to bring the head and is resumed. Then, the team play oranje until the triumph of Stroetinga. Disqualified, however, the second race in Italian Luca Stefani.
Tomorrow last day of the Max Aicher Arena Cup of Inzell. It will outline the latest rankings before the finals in Heerenveen (14-16 March).
