Surprising: & egrave; the first word to define briefly the & nbsp; first day & nbsp; of racing at & nbsp; & nbsp Taereung; Rink & nbsp; Seoul, where today & egrave; began the second leg of the & nbsp; World Cup & nbsp; & nbsp skating, long track. Sull''ovale the capital & nbsp; Korean, 85 meters above sea level, ice conditions have favored some outsiders and athletes without a win for some time as Claudia Pechstein. And in other cases cheered skaters, see Pedersen and Kodaira, who before today had never won in his career.

Among the latter, the sprinter Japanese Nao Kodaira, able to oust the darling of Lee house. Or the Norwegian Sverre Lunde Pedersen, who is celebrating for the first time in 1500 before delusissimi & nbsp; the Dutch. Different content & egrave; the party d & rsquo; Gold Claudia Pechstein, a & rsquo; s & athlete who is igrave; the history of speed skating, but without a win - in races against the clock - for over a year. In this sense, & egrave; perhaps less surprising than the & rsquo; affirmation of the new advances Pavel Kulizhnikov. The Russian is his third victory this season with a new amazing ride in the men's 500 meters. So far he has collected three wins out of six races in the World Cup ISU. Not bad for a twenty year old.
In this myriad of unexpected results in part, the Italians throw some positive signs. Of the eight blue race & ndash; all in Division B - this Friday & igrave; d & rsquo; s debut on Korean soil, the best result obtained by Yvonne Daldossi, good fifth in the 500 meters. Among men, the best & egrave; David Bosa, seventh on the same distance.
So for the audience of Taereung International Skating Rink, stroke & egrave; those hard to digest. Lee Sang-Hwa loses his long imbattibilit & agrave; in the 500 meters. And at his house. The sprinter ugrave & more; strongest of the lot, capitulated after more than a year and a half when he collected world records and Olympic gold: yields in the worst way possible, and in front of his own drum with Kodaira. The Lee was knocked down & rsquo; March 8, 2013, shot by Jenny Wolf and Wang Beixing. Since then, a-row of 10 consecutive wins, considering the 11 & rsquo; Olympic gold in Sochi.
So ;, & igrave after being beaten at home twice, Japan's Nao Kodaira takes revenge on heavy & rsquo; Olympic Korean. Just in his Seoul. The Japanese perceive a & rsquo; s memorable first career victory in the World Cup and it's the first round of the 500 meters final with a time of 38 & rsquo; & rsquo; 05. The Lee stops at 38 & rsquo; & rsquo; 18. As the third step of the podium & ndash; as happened in Obihiro in the second series & ndash; The 32 year-old German Judith Hesse.
In Division B, as announced, get the best performance of the season for Yvonne Daldossi. The 22 year old South Tyrolean finishes fifth in the 39 & rsquo; & rsquo; 85 in the race won by Anise Das (Netherlands) in the 39 & rsquo; & rsquo; 25. Yvonne should have the podium, that is 24 cents, and most importantly, winning its first eight points in the Cup from 2014 to 2015, improving its seasonal staff on 500 meters. A & rsquo; confidence boost after a trip to Japan in Obihiro to forget. The wait for the 1000 and the second series of 500 on Sunday.
Its timeless class l & rsquo; s & agrave had already; hinted at in the 3000 Obihiro, where from & igrave; the third. But today & egrave; came roaring back, in his own way, Claudia Pechstein. The forty-German snatches victory of 5000 to the rival of recent years, Martina S & aacute; & aacute ;. blikov Pechstein reaches 28 successes in the World Cup, far ahead of the competition - with the new track record - in 7 & rsquo; 07 & rsquo; & rsquo; 77. The Czech stops instead at 7 & rsquo; 13 & rsquo; & rsquo; 08 surely leaving the road to the Teutonic race in growing, always on the podium Cup & ndash; in the 5000 meters from 2007 to present. In third place overall (7 & rsquo; 14 & rsquo; & rsquo; 59) & egrave; over the Canadian Ivanie Blondin, rising again on the podium after winning the women's mass start last week in Japan. Behind her, a & ldquo; tris & rdquo; of strong but disappointed oranje: in & rsquo; s order, Valkenburg, Voorhuis and Nauta.
Far from its full potential & agrave; Dick, the & rsquo; blue Francesca Lollobrigida. The Roman veteran from around the world after the World Cup on track just concluded in Rosario (Argentina), made his debut on ice Cup with a sixteenth place in the second group of about. 7 & rsquo; 39 & rsquo; & rsquo; 78 his lap, far away from the winner, the Russian Olga Graf (7 & rsquo; 15 & rsquo; & rsquo; 11).
The 22 year old Sverre Lunde Pedersen is stroke & ndash; the first - of life. & Egrave; him the surprise winner of the 1,500 meters: & egrave; his first success in his career. Holds & Outdoors, dry officially the dominance Dutch, for the first time without a single victory in a session of the World Cup. It did not happen for some time. Pedersen triumphs with lap record at 1 South Korea & rsquo; 47 & rsquo; & rsquo; 76. Behind him, the representatives of the Dutch patrol Wouter Olde Heuvel (1 & rsquo; 48 & rsquo; & rsquo; 02) and Kjeld Nuis (1 & rsquo; 48 & rsquo; & rsquo; 30).
They finish off the podium the pi & ugrave; titrated and the expected protagonists. In & rsquo; s order Denny Morrison (Canada), Koen Verweij (Netherlands), Shani Davis (USA) and Sven Kramer (Netherlands) occupy the final positions from fourth to seventh.
Of the 1500 & ldquo; B & rdquo Division; have ventured three Italians. Everyone came away from the points, that started from ninth place. The first blue, Andrea Giovannini & egrave; placed 13th in 1 & rsquo; 52 & rsquo; & rsquo; 31. L & rsquo; 1 & rsquo; 53 & rsquo; & rsquo; 01 & egrave; Luca Stefani earned the 18th place, while Nicholas Tumolero closed position number 24 & ndash; penultimate & ndash; final with a time of 1 & rsquo; 57 & rsquo; & rsquo; 88.
In the second race in the men's program, 500 meters away & ndash; first series & ndash; triumphs again twenty Pavel Kulizhnikov. The Russian is in the running for top spot in the overall World Cup Grand & ndash; today would be second behind Nuis & ndash; and gets his third win of the season & rsquo; s debut, bringing his average to 50% of success for each game played. In the 500 this morning was the best in 34 & rsquo; & rsquo; 94 and above found a Korean Mo Tae-Bum and the 22 year old teammate & ndash; he on the podium again after 'debut & ndash; Ruslan Murashow. Both for & ograve ;, are well away from the winner and close 35 & rsquo; & rsquo; 36. Second place gets angry Mo, for just one thousandth of a difference. Only one tenth of sprinters proved among the most & ugrave; fit in Obihiro: Jan Smeekens. L & rsquo; Dutch stops in tenth place, giving even the supremacy Oranje Hein Otterspeer (sixth).
No blue runs for the first group of about, given the downgrading our sole representative on the distance in Division A & ndash; Mirko James Nenzi & ndash; after the first leg of the Cup. Among the Italians engaged in the distance of the second group of about (race won by & rsquo; Dutch Daidai Ntab), the winner & egrave; David Bosa (seventh in the 36 & rsquo; & rsquo; 07). It was his best finish in his career after his debut & ndash; dated January 2013 & ndash; in the World Cup, which also earned him four points in the standings. A point and a hitherto untapped potential for Mirko Nenzi. The Veneto of yellow flame finishes his test in 36 & rsquo; & rsquo; 10 and & egrave; the ninth.
