end of today's program...

 

very nice surprise for Italy, Cynthis Mascitto's bronze medal (her 1st in the world cup)...

on the other side, very irritating wasted chance to make the final for the men's relay...

 

more in general, Korea dominating the field with 3 gold medals out of 4 events, with Russia's Prosvirnova being the only athlete stopping the Asian powerhouse in one of today's events...

and very strange outcome for the relays' semifinals, with many top teams failing to reach the final act (even KOR won't be in the men's relay final )...

[phelps 6,883]

today Cynthia Mascitto won't be able to repeat herself and make the podium once again in the 2nd run of the women's 1000m...

she was dead last in the first semifinal heat and therefore she's relegated only to the "B" Final (which until yesterday would have been a great result...but, you know...once you start tasting the flavour of the top of the rankings, it's always tough to get back to reality)...

but today we still have a great chance to make the podium with Martina Valcepina, who easily qualified for the big Final of the women's 500m...

Easy victory for Valcepina She dominated the final
