phelps 6,858 Posted July 7, 2018 #11 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Day #4 Recap The first final competition in the afternoon was the 20.000 Elimination Junior Women: a long distance race in which the team strategy and the endurance can make the difference. At 8 laps to go Colombia, France, and Italy has two athletes in the race. Edda Paluzzi cannot help her teammate anymore and Anais Pedroni was left alone to push against the Colombians. It was then the turn of the Mexican girls to leave. Honorine Barrault, the France girl who crashed at the beginning of the race, is still in the run at the last lap when her teammate Marie Dupuy has been eliminated. The Colombians started the final rush: Nathalia Bermudez crossed first, Corinne Stoddard - USA, second and Gabriela Rueda Rueda third. Gold - Nathalia Bermudez - COLOMBIASilver - Corinne Stoddard - USABronze - Gabriela Rueda Rueda - COLOMBIA It was then the turn of the Junior men on the long distance competition. North Koreans and Colombians lead the first part of the race: usually Colombia is not so strong in endurance competitions, but in the sunny and hot Arnhem they really spent all their energies. After 10 km the pack is still quite solid. There was a bad crash in the middle of the pack but it involved only Mathieu Belloir from France. At 6 laps to go, Jason Sutteles - Belgium, tried to come back but he felt down in a crash involving Inho Choi - South Korea, and slowed down the other athletes in the middle of the pack. Andres Bello Quemba - Colombia, tried to go ahead but Jordy Van Workum - Netherlands, came back with all his energy and became 2018 World Champion in 20.000 Elimination: Gold - Jordy Van Workum - NETHERLANDSSilver - Andres Bello Quemba - COLOMBIABronze - Joel Guacho Zamora - ECUADOR The Senior competitions started with the 10.000mt points. In the women race, there was a head-to-head between Francesca Lollobrigida and Johana Viveros: once again in these worlds, Lollobrigida was not able to get the Gold, lost for just one point. Mareika Thu, got the bronze thanks to better time over Yang, Arias and Halbout. Head-to-Head also in the men race between the Colombian Daniel Martinez and Diogo Marreiros from Portugal both with 12 points: the colombian won for the better time; bronze for Bart Swings with 11 points.

phelps 6,858 Posted July 7, 2018 #12 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Day #5 Recap and finally a Gold medal for the worst Italian World Championship ever... 10.000 points Junior Women It has been a strategic race in which the athletes moved back and forward in the pack to gain points and preserve the stamina. The Colombians lead the first part of the competitions, then moved back to the middle of the "peloton". Dupuy from France took advantage of the situation and gained points that put her at the top of the rank. At 7 laps to go, the Colombians got back to the lead of the pack and easily got points after points. In the run for the bronze it was all about Stoddard (USA) and Dupuy that, by winning the final rush, got the third position. Gold - Maria Renteria Rodriguez - COLOMBIASilver -Valentina Moreno Pinzon- COLOMBIABronze - Marie Dupuy - FRANCE In the 10.000 points Junior Men the strategy was an easy one: try to get the more points you can. The Ecuadorian David Moscoso Sarmiento had 18 points at nine laps to go, followed by Adrion Workman - USA at 15. Said Vidal, Chile, had only 6 points and was defending the bronze against Ewen Foussadier, France and Jordi Van Workum, who was wishing to win another medal for the Hosting country. The Orange came back and, warmly supported by the crowd, got the Bronze. Gold - David Moscoso Sarmiento - ECUADORSilver - Adrion Workman - USABronze - Jordi Van Workum - NETHERLANDS 20.000mt Elimination Senior Women This is that a kind of race in which the team strategy is really important: you have to cooperate with your team mate to preserve the position in the "peloton". In the start there was quite nervosism in the pack. South Korean Lee Seul started in an attack surprising the other athletes as it was at the very beginning of the race. Soon Francesca Lollobrigida, supported by her sister and team mate Giulia, started to lead the pack, followed by the two Colombians, Viveros and Arias, in a long lasting duel. Francesca Lollobrigida was looking for thee Gold medal that, till now, didn't arrive in these worlds. Mareika Thum, from Germany, and Sandrine Tas - Belgium, tried to find their place in this battle. The six athletes interchanged in the leading whilst there were many fights in the middle of the peloton. Dan Guo, the Chinese champion, got eliminated at 38 laps to go. A crash soon after the following elimination involved Hyosook Woo - South Korea and she had to leave the circuit. The Lollobrigida sisters took the lead of the peloton lighting a fire under the group. Mannon Kamminga, the Orange Champion back to activity after a sabbatical, got eliminated: she seemed to be in a good shape but it was to early to be competitive in this kind of competition. At 12 laps to go Giulia Lollobrigida has been eliminated: she was supporting hard her sister and for Francesca the race became more complicated since then. On next elimination, Sandrine Tas left the circuit. Three laps to go and Francesca started an attack followed by the two girls from Colombia. At two laps to go, Francesca is between the two colombians. Fabriana Arias started the sprint but Francesca did not give up and in the last rush got the gold. "I really wanted to win and, together with my sister, we worked very well. This Medal goes to my mother who is in the hospital" Gold - Francesca Lollobrigida - ITALYSilver - Johana Viveros - COLOMBIABronze - Fabriana Arias - COLOMBIA 20.000 elimination Senior Men Since the beginning Colombia, Italy, Usa, France, Spain, Portugal really fought hard in a nervous race. Giuseppe Bramante - Italy was always protecting the back of his team mate Daniel Niero, whilst the Colombians had to take care of the two guys from Netherlands leading the pack. Bart Swings was in the middle of the two teams. Bramante tried to avoid the elimination with a rush and fighting hard, but he was eliminated by fault. Daniel Niero was left alone leading the group with the Orange guys, the two Colombians and Bart Swings. Crispijin Arien - Netherlands and his team mate Gry Hekman were in the lead poushing hard to keep the position. The speed increased at 6 laps to go with six skaters close each other: the two Colombians, Daniel Niero, Bart Swings, the defending champion Nolan Beddiaf from France and David Morell - Spain. In the last lap Swings, Nolan and Niero start a breathtaking final rush. Gold - Bart Swings - BELGIUMSilver - Daniel Niero - ITALYBronze - Nolan Beddiaf - FRANCE One lap Junior Ladies On the starting line: Anais Pedroni -Italy, Valeria Rodriguez Lopez - Colombia, Yue Chi Peng - Chinese Taipei and Mathilde Pedronno.

Well neither did Colombians, until a foreign coach went there and started convincing inline skaters to give it a try on that strange icy thing Ok, I know Colombia and Iran are rather different in terms of quality in inline speed skating, since Colombia is the dominant force, but still. It'd just be cool if someone gives it a try or something, be that by somehow stumbling upon a foreigner with ties to the speed skating or whatever, one might hope If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

PS: Roller sport is in this year AG program but only with two events and that's just a one time thing. and the Skating federation here couldn't even convince the NOC to send them to Jakarta.

Well yeah you need an ice rink, which is why I'm mostly hoping for the tiny chance (yet unrealistic, I know, that's why it's tiny ) of for example someone with Iranian roots competing for Iran while based in another country. That's what happens with Brazil for example and because of that, very very very slowly one or two or three people actually in Brazil are getting a little interested. I know, it's all not that realistic, but like I said, it's not wrong to hope If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

I think the only way is someone makes Ice rinks here. btw I just took a look at their website and they are a member of ISU and also IIHF alongside with FIRS. quite busy as a single federation heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
