L & rsquo; Italy, who had high hopes in its Mass Start, specialty & agrave; entry by a few months in the Olympic family, & egrave; far away from the podium with Andrea Giovannini and Fabio Francolini (ninth and tenth) and Francesca Lollobrigida (eleventh).
Protagonist total & egrave; Brittany Bowe, who won the 1,500 meters in Division A with l & rsquo; exceptional time of 1 & rsquo; 51 & rsquo; & rsquo; 59. The US clears cos & Igrave; the world record of & ldquo; & rdquo totem; the long track Cindy Klassen, who & egrave; was until this evening the record holder over the distance for almost 10 years: November 20, 2005 ran 1 & rsquo; 51 & rsquo; & rsquo; s 79 Ice & rsquo; Oval in Salt Lake City. L & rsquo; former rotellista 27 year old native of Florida rainbow in office in 1000, 1500 and in the World Cup Sprint, you take cos & Igrave; a double revenge after one day: yesterday, in fact, had given his record of 1,000 meters to compatriot Heather Richardson. Their quest & rsquo; last, Ms. Bergsma from conjugated & egrave; second just behind the & rsquo; friend-rival finding a time of 1 & rsquo; 52 & rsquo; & rsquo; 27. She comes to the personal best & ndash; lowered by 28 cents - but not enough to win. Third & egrave; Martina S & aacute; blikov & aacute; 1 & rsquo; 54 & rsquo; & rsquo; 18. The three times Olympic champion Czech is also his best career away on lowering its staff of 26 cents. In fourth place is the pi & ugrave; strong Norwegian skater, Ida Nj & aring; tun is just one cent from S & aacute; blikov & aacute ;, while behind him are placed the strong Dutch Marrit Leenstra and Marije Joling. A curiosity & agrave ;: the podium Calgary & egrave; the same & ndash; Also in positions & ndash; you & egrave; occurred in & rsquo; last stage of the Cup last season in Erfurt. Obviously the time, also because of the ice extremely fast track North American, they are very different.
Over the same distance, but in Division B, you & egrave; adept the Venetian Francesca Bettrone. L & rsquo; & egrave is blue; placed 14th in 1 & rsquo; 59 & rsquo; & rsquo; 20, the race in which he excelled the Japanese Miho Takagi.
Masculine, all the & rsquo; was waiting for Pavel Kulizhnikov, he engaged in & rsquo; last battery of 500 meters (second series), after coming close to the world record of 8 cents Whoterspoon in the first series won Friday & Igrave; last. Mission accomplished for the 21 year old Russian, despite a not perfect & ndash; 9 & rsquo; & rsquo; 62 to 100m & ndash; then able to unleash his power with an outstanding ride. He stopped the clock at 34 seconds flat with a round of 24 & rsquo; & rsquo; 3: crazy, devastating and the Canadian Wotherspoon abdicates after eight years his super performance of 34 & rsquo; & rsquo; 03. Second, third and fourth in the standings, to mitigate in part the loss of the world record for Canadians, come William Dutton in 34 & rsquo; & rsquo; 25, a gap from the winner, Alex Boisvert-Lacroix (34 & rsquo; 300) and Gilmore Junio ​​( 34 & rsquo; & rsquo; 304). For the 28 year old qu & eacute; b & eacute; cois Boisvert-Lacroix, this is the first career World Cup medal. Dutton, however, was on the podium for the first time in the series of 500 played Friday & Igrave ;.
Female, the sprint distance of Division A rewards still Zhang Hong. The Chinese take the revenge on the 500 than two days before & ndash; exchanging podium places & ndash; the world record holder, the Korean Lee Sang-hwa after a high-level competition. Both sprinters Asian break through the barrier of 37 seconds. Zhang, gi & agrave; Olympic champion on 1000 to Sochi 2014, crown his weekend with the first gold after wearing three medals & ndash; two silvers in the 500 and in the Team Sprint and a bronze in 1000 & ndash; between Friday & Igrave; is Saturday. Nothing to do after the 36 & rsquo; & rsquo; 94 of China for Lee. Quest & rsquo; last, despite the & rsquo; 36 great & rsquo; & rsquo; 99, not repeating the success of the first series but & egrave; however second. In third place sees Heather Richardson-Bergsma (37 & rsquo; & rsquo; 06), which anticipates the rival Brittany Bowe (37 & rsquo; & rsquo; 12 and best improved by one tenth).
In the first race of the afternoon Canadian Division A, namely that the 1500 meters, was imposed in 2015 and the runner-round world champion a year ago to 1500, Denis Yuskov. The Russian is a performance of the highest level & ndash; never skated in career & ndash; finishing in 1 & rsquo; 41 & rsquo; & rsquo; 88, just 84 cents from the world record of Shani Davis. In second place is ranked the Belgian Bart Swings (1 & rsquo; 42 & rsquo; & rsquo; 48), which prevails on the American Joey Mantia for the & rsquo; trifle of 2 milliseconds. Swings & egrave; forced to postpone once again the victory in a race against time. Rifar & agrave; a few hours later in the Mass Start.
Busy morning in the 1500 Canadian valid for Division B, l & rsquo; blue Andrea Giovannini & egrave; tenth in the race won by Canadian Ted-Jan Bloemen in 1 & rsquo; 44 & rsquo; & rsquo; 91. It applies to & ograve; It is worth dwelling on the clock of the 22-year-Trent which runs the 3 laps and 300 meters of & rsquo; oval in Calgary 1 & rsquo; 46 & rsquo; & rsquo; 47. Shot down his personal, dating back to November 2013, a second and 22 cents.

Among the twenty participants in the women's race, the first race of the World Cup since the race with mass start & egrave; was officially included in the Olympic program, the & rsquo; unique blue included in the first group, Francesca Lollobrigida (Champion Cup of specialty & agrave; 2013-2014), you & egrave; found to struggle with some of the pi & ugrave; listed skaters in the world: no & egrave; moved beyond the & rsquo; 11th place. Among the big, you & egrave; still with a view Richardson was in thanksgiving, among the most & ugrave; active and fit the moment. The US immediately won the first intermediate sprint in front of Nana Takagi & Outdoors; Dutch Ensing. Francesca remains attentive even when the S & aacute; blikov & aacute; tries to anticipate the sprint of the group & rsquo; eighth round, won by Czech wins the sprint in front of the Park and the Ensing. L & rsquo; last sprint & ndash; on lap 12 of the 16 total & ndash; It is the prerogative of the second skater of the Czech Republic, Nikola zdr & aacute; halov & aacute ;, on Blondin and Schouten. Margins groped for an attack all out & Outdoors; arrival & ndash; that rewarded the top three with 60, 40 and 20 points - there would be. And the 24 year old dell & rsquo; Air Force c & rsquo; & egrave ;. At least until & eacute; the Japanese do not feel the game. Behind them Launches Canadian Ivanie Blondin & ndash; third in the final standings & ndash; that is exceeded in the last few meters by the Korean Kim and also the Dutch Irene Schouten. Cos & Igrave; the final ranking: Kim Bo-Reum 60 points, 41 Schouten, Blondin 23, S & aacute; blikov & aacute; 5 and by the others.

The men, however, were 24 (minus one) competitors ready to fight for the glory of the first Mass Start & rsquo; year. Between them the two candidates with the heavy suit tricolor: the world runner in office Fabio Francolini and third place in the Cup standings in & rsquo; last season, Andrea Giovannini. Among the favorites, there & rsquo; & egrave; Surprise Lee Seung-Hoon, Korean & d agrave; forfeit despite being duly registered. The 16 rounds are tactical, waiting for a team to take the & rsquo; initiative. It does the & rsquo; Holland who wins the first sprint to -12 with Bergsma. The Olympic champion on 10 thousand tries to escape. But Francolini stitches. The next sprint goes to a careful Bart Swings in front of the second oranje Arjen Stroetinga. Then try again with Bergsma Francolini and Belgium to pursue the dangerous Dutch skater. L & rsquo; attack cha blasts tactics led him New Zealander Reyon Kay and Swiss Livio Wenger: stretch the group to -5 from the end, Giovannini try to patch up and share out the points of the next intermediate sprint. Kay does not give up and raises, but it reaches all Swings & rsquo; s latest round and & rsquo; flies alone to success. Behind him try to reduce the gap Bergsma, but its action is only the second place. Kay resists and find the 20 points of & rsquo; reserved arrival in the third volatona final.
