Tonight, on the ice that was Olympic in 2002, collects a huge silver from specific gravity in the race with the departure of the group. The 29 year-old registered with the & rsquo; H2O Varese who trains and competes in the Netherlands for most of the season comes the & rsquo; another confirmation of his talent seen getting his second career podium in Cup & ndash; It was already & agrave; third in a Mass Start of December 2014 & ndash; crowned with the & rsquo; world silver specialty & agrave; Heerenveen, in March. So his star continues to shine in a season, the current one, which has undertaken the races on the ice with continuity & agrave ;. L & rsquo; blue must bow only to the 34-year old Dutch super - specialized in races of group Arjan Stroetinga, gi & agrave; world champion of specialty & agrave; in 2015 and winning three times in his career in the World Cup.
S & rsquo; senses from the first skate condition excellent Francolini. L & rsquo; Italian & ndash; competing with fellow Andrea Giovannini & ndash; goes right to the heart of the battle from the first intermediate sprint, finished third & ndash; with a point gained - behind Korean Kim Cheol-Min. In the next intermediate sprint & ndash; to -8 by the term & ndash; c & rsquo; & egrave; l & rsquo; action of the Danish Thorup that is positioned in front of the & rsquo; Dutch Jorrit Bergsma and New Zealander Michael. The fearsome athlete oranje test after a & rsquo; action to take advantage, but & egrave; stopped by the winner of the previous stage Bart Swings (Belgium). The blues are alive in the race, even when Alexis Contin tries to take advantage -5: the transalpine makes his sprint in front of the Chinese Sun Longjiang and Swings. Everything is decided for & ograve; in & rsquo; last sprint. -2 To detach themselves from the group of four: two Dutch (Bergsma decisive work for their team play), Swings and l & rsquo; blue Francolini. The fight for victory & egrave; all of them because & eacute; behind nobody forces to move back below. Bergsma leaves the head and launches Stroetinga, good in the plunge for the sprint. Quest & rsquo; last benefits, in & rsquo; order of Swings and Francolini. The Lombard loses & rsquo; moment to stick to the trail because Stroetinga & eacute; It lingers behind the Belgian, visibly more & ugrave; slower than him. L & rsquo; Dutch flies to victory, but Francolini implements its overtaking & Outdoors; output of & rsquo; last corner. L & rsquo; the action will be worth & agrave; 40 points (in addition to that previously earned) in the final sprint. & Egrave; second in the standings behind Stroetinga & ndash; 60 lengths & ndash; and Bart Swings, who stops at an altitude 21. Andrea Giovannini ended in 15th position. After two trials, the overall Mass Start sees the Belgian keeps the top with 170 points, but behind him approaching Stroetinga & ndash; 150 & ndash; Bergsma & ndash; 120 & ndash; and especially Francolini, at an altitude of 108.
The Mass Start female sees the triumph of the number one favorite of the lot of the 20 representatives at the start of the first group of about: the defending world champion and vice-champion of specialty & agrave; Irene Schouten in office. The bearer of & rsquo; Holland & egrave; fast, careful and clever in & rsquo; set the decisive final sprint buying up the decisive points for the stage win. Cos & Igrave; as happened in Calgary, in the last week, & egrave; somehow the decisive game of the Japanese team that will implement the -2 from time with the & rsquo; coordinated action with Miho Takagi front and behind Misaki Oshigiri ready to leverage the work of his partner. Before the bell of & rsquo; last of the 16 laps, takes the fall of a Korean Kim Bo-Reum & ndash; winner in the test of Calgary - trying to overtake the Takagi & Outdoors; internal: the blades of the two skaters and for a moment you touch c & rsquo; & egrave; the turmoil in the group. At that point the race is decided in favor of Schouten, careful to not get caught and in good jump in the final sprint. L & rsquo; & egrave action; and creates important gap with the other competitors behind him, and perci & ograve; l & rsquo; oranje flies to a comfortable victory. Behind her are placed the Canadian world championship silver medalist outgoing Ivanie Blondin and Japan's Misaki Oshigiri, the first individual podium Senior career. Encouraging and a bit & rsquo; unfortunate evidence of & rsquo; unique blue present at the start of the Mass Start women.

The Roman & egrave; in a good position behind the top three competitors who then end up on the podium. Is not serious; lucky because & eacute; loses & rsquo; moment & ndash; although try to make his way in the & ldquo; Traffic & rdquo; -, To follow the Schouten. Finish & agrave; fourth in the final sprint in less than a second behind the winner, and 11th place in the overall ranking. & Egrave; in fact her first among the athletes who have failed and receive points between the two intermediate sprint.
In other matches of the day, & egrave; came a record of lightning Vorkoeta, Pavel Kulizhnikov. The first man to break the threshold of 34 seconds can not fulfill the second miracle, or improve for the second time in 48 hours the record of 500 meters. The sprinter unquestionably more & ugrave; fast dell & rsquo; last year, he won the second set on the distance, closing & ldquo; only & rdquo; in 34 & rsquo; & rsquo; 13 after touching the 33 & rsquo; & rsquo; 98 & Friday Igrave; evening. Cos & Igrave; the race tonight: 9 & rsquo; & rsquo; 64 to 100 after the start and 24 & rsquo; & rsquo; 5 in the lap. The Russian still gets his fourth win in four races of 500 meters in his season so far above reproach. Opponents seem more & ugrave; close to him this time, but not because & eacute; They have made progress, but because of the small step back Kulizhnikov. Second in 34 & rsquo; & rsquo; 34 arrives William Dutton (Canada). Also on the podium salt Laurent Dubreuil, Canadian bronze world champion over the distance last March and runner specialty & agrave ;, which closes in 34 & rsquo; & rsquo; 36. Behind him, missing a dime (34 & rsquo; & rsquo; 37) to the Finnish Mika Poutala for bronze. Fourth place is the Polish Artur Wa & # 347; in 34 & rsquo; & rsquo; 42, that time is the new national record.

The policeman Novaledo (Trento), get the best chronometric performance career on the 500 meters running at 34 & rsquo; & rsquo; 79. In Canada, on November 15, it had been more & ugrave; slower than a dime. The 23 year-old gets cos & Igrave; an excellent fifth place in Division B. For him this is the best performance of the last two seasons: his moment d & rsquo; gold had arrived in 2013-14, when he entered & ograve; the first group of about qualifying for the Olympic Games in Sochi. With this placement, Bosa earns 8 points in the standings specialty & agrave ;, gaining several positions. Good performance at the start of the second blue, Mirko Giacomo Nenzi. The Venetian & ndash; building on its best 34 & rsquo; & rsquo; 84 last weekend, stopped the clock at 35 & rsquo; & rsquo; 06. A lap which earned him ninth place overall, one point in the standings. The race if the & rsquo; & egrave; won the South Korean Kim Tae-Yun in 34 & rsquo; & rsquo; 59, ahead of 6:07 cents l & rsquo; Dutch expert Hein Otterspeer and Kazakh Roman Krech.
In an exciting duel back in full swing d & rsquo; implosion, the 1000 meters women write another chapter in the history of skating long track in & rsquo; incredible tussle to prevail on the kilometer. Once & ndash; cos & Igrave; as already happened & agrave; yesterday for the 1500 & ndash; the protagonists of & rsquo; alternation are the two most & ugrave; strong skaters American Brittany Bowe and Heather Richardson-Bergsma. A week ago we had been to the amazing world record of Richardson (1 & rsquo; 12 & rsquo; & rsquo; 51). Utah & egrave; came the response of the monstrous 27-year old Florida: the Bowe & egrave; Queen thanks to a chronometric performance beyond all limits known before tonight, in one & rsquo; 12 & rsquo; & rsquo; 18.

The Chinese firm time to 1 & rsquo; 12 & rsquo; & rsquo; 77, 59 cents away from the winner, but only 12 away from his staff made seven days in advance. In third place is the Richardson, after 1 & rsquo; 13 & rsquo; & rsquo; 45 competition. Earn l & rsquo; abdication from the list of the most & ugrave; fastest in the world, in part by consoling his sixth podium of the season. Yet a failure to smile for the vice-champion over the distance of the Cup last season, l & rsquo; Dutch Marrit Leenstra.

One of the novelties & agrave; this season, the & rsquo; inserting the Mass Start of Division B, have rewarded Nana Takagi (Japan) to the female and the American Joey Mantia male. Both prevail thanks to their final sprints that give him the 60 decisive points in the final standings. Nicola Tumolero, only blue in the race in the second group of the race with mass start, concludes the test in tenth place in the 7th & rsquo; 57 & rsquo; & rsquo; 35, while remaining in close contact with the first in the final sprint.
