we approach the halfway point and the blue medal sluggish. Even the first empty box, that of gold. About rattles Olympic medals in abacus-e-is more than likely the team that guides the stars and stripes with 18 medals, six of those most precious metal. The last Lysacek obtained from that in a revival of the October Revolution, ousted from the throne of the Tsar Plushenko figure skating. Going from what was to what will be, we reach the end of the seventh day warmed by the fire of Olympia. Back on track boys climbing, engaged in super-G, also room for the hard work of long-distance runner and the sled face-down madness license plate skeleton.
On Whistler Creekside men jet of snow will challenge the discipline that combines speed and technique, the super-G. Long, long list of eligible candidates for medals: the Swiss Cuche, Defago Janka and the hosts Guay and Osborne-Paradis, the Austrian Raich, Walchhofer and Scheiber Miller and Svindal, without forgetting our Heel and Innerhofer. But the super-G race that has historically offers surprises, especially when the Olympics. And no room for outsiders primarily because of the temperature factor that could influence the race. To 11.30-hour start-race are in fact under 3 or 4 degrees above zero upward trend: With the passing of the pectoral snow may warm up much-too-much to thereby slow down those who will fall first. These include Miller, Ligety and Scheiber, in addition to our Fill and Staudacher, who won titles thanks to changing environmental situations he knows something ...
The girls will compete in skiing close race involving tracking: 7.5 km classic technique of rapid change and then another 7.5 km ski skating. The outcome of the race will be determined by the conduct of the big specialty take. A slow race in the stretch on the track could benefit both the athletes who best unravel in the free technique, such as Kalla and our Follis, both those who suffer or have intense sprint races considerable in the first category we include the Bjorgen in the second Kowalczyk. A strong race pace for all 15 km could instead benefit from Estonian Smigun, silver in the 10 km and only able to do better than winning Kalla in the second half of the race, for the "other 2 km ...". If the dual Olympic champion in Turin will be able to impose its own pace, she could become a real favorite. The sprint in tc has not confirmed the rather lofty terms of the Finns. Role as an outsider for the Norwegian Steira and our Marianna Longa, that CdM has finished second in this race right on the slopes of Whistler, but seemed in obvious difficulty in the opening race. Announced a round of rest ahead of the 30 injured Majdic tc. For color blue on track and Sabina Valbusa Silvia Rupil for both the main difficulties will be the alternate in km. Race to 22.00.
The last two day licenses will be awarded by the skeleton that includes the third and fourth rounds of both races. Among the women, as predicted yesterday, are competing for gold Britain's Amy Williams and Canada's Melissa Hollingsworth, among them 39 cents and the German-less-titled Szymkowiak, perfect in the second round. In the race to the podium could also join the other German Anja Huber, fourth at 42 cents. More pull all the others that will work miracles to boast of one of three valuable prizes. Staccatissima the only blue-Costanza Zanoletti the match- 14th over 3 ". Third round to 0.45, 1 .55 medals.
In the men's race the day before the two big favorites Dukurs Martins and Jon Montgomery has created a vacuum: the first Latvian to run in the second Canadian. Help the boy from Sigulda to 26 cents, but everything is still wide open. In contention for the podium, but lag far behind the top position, at least five: Alexander Tetryakov denote all the other Canadian Michael Douglas and Kristan Bromley, the alchemist of the sledges that allow the UK Williams to lead the women's race. Light years from the first is Nicola Drocco, third from last to 5 ". Third run at 3.20, last at 4.50.
But today is also the day that will the beginning of the dance marathon. For Italy in the inaugural fall on the ice dance compulsory two pairs: The Night-Caps and European vice-champions Faiella-Scali, in order of appearance. Wake up to point to 1 .45. Good
