So here we go the women’s 10,000 m point elimination final gets underway so the group will look to just settle themselves sort themselves out fabriana Aras leading the way and the one place you don’t want to be is at the back because you will be eliminated at the moment there’s no
Great danger because we haven’t reached the first elimin a point just yet but the two poles already G and gak are lurking back there I think that’s gak that’s decided that’s not where I want to be so she’s made a little move s Tas just making a little adjustment there to
One of the wheels again it’s another one of those races where the time is really irrelevant it’s all about making sure you don’t get eliminated and making sure you pick up points but generally speaking the women’s 10,000 M goes at around 15 15 15 20 pace and here’s Sonia gak deciding
You know what I’m going to have my moment of Glory I’m going to lead the way around and the Polish crowd really appreciating the Polish skater deciding to take it on through 600 M here but it’ll only get really interesting when you hear that first
Bell so it’s all Ai and tactical the two Colombians lined up just behind her pararo and Aras there’s the Chilean skater Lavina Lopez is involved as well there’s no great Panic about being at the back at the moment but you’re down the wrong end of things
You just need to be aware of your circumstances and the situation much better to be where Sonia gak is than to be where Alexandra gos is all the skaters making sure as well as they reach the first 1,000 M that they don’t catch each other’s skates accidents do happen especially
When there are a lot of skaters on the track we’ve certainly seen some spectacular crashes particularly in the women’s event in the 500 meter sprint a lot of favorites fell foul of accidents there the Two Italians tucked in just behind the chillian in fifth and sixth that’s uh bki and Lola
Brigida we’ve seen the Italians working as a team before and there’s the first Bell so this is where the heat is on and that’s where the tempo really picks up there’s an attack from the outside from one of the Polish skaters that is just uh going around there Alexandre
Gos now this is going to be a huge cheer for Goss who just paced her attack and Aras picking up a point for second place so that’s great news for Polish skating now here we go again can Alexandra gos maintain her position at the top of the pile here in
This 10,000 M event really going for it again now the Chilean is making a bit of a move there as well and I think the two South Americans just ran Goss out of that one certainly Aras was in there she picked up two trans Lina Lopez indeed coming second
There those two just pouncing as Goss felt the heat we haven’t yet started having the eliminations but they will come and now the pressure’s on once again and it’s uh some of the Italians trying to make their move here is that Boni the gold medalist in the 500 met
Sprint she looking to make her attack make a mark you don’t want to let Aras have too many early points it was Julia L Bria in fact picking up the two points there with Yang of Chinese taipe also now getting on the board so we’re on until
The others need to start making a move SRE Tass here in the light blue of Belgium has decided yep okay I’ve given away enough points here time to add some points of my own really fascinating the tactics here three of them of uh made a move and the points
Collected Tas is on the board and yang picks up another two points to take a share of the lead so Chinese Ty and Colombia in front Italy and Poland sharing third place but Alexander Goss I think is already starting to really feel the heat as this has picked up significant
Ly it’s Yang and Tass looking to try and lead the way one of the Spanish skaters is trying to make some ground as well mate anen goes the Bell once again and it’s one of the two Colombian skaters that’s jumped in front as the field starts to separate Lavina Lopez of Colombia in
Second place and uh making a move here maray Kum trying to get involved he’s got some work to do that Yang and Aras have opened up a lot of daylight now there’s some pushing and shoving there’s the field bunches here we go again it’s m anen of Spain going to lead the way
Here Aras tucked in just behind her we in the number 27 B Aras silver medalist now who picked up the points there civil medalist in the world championships last year Aras cleverly picking up a couple of points there as well so Aras with a big big gap now between first and
Third that’s a bit of a log Jam at the moment one of the Polish skaters has popped up again there’ll be a huge cheer if she can hold on here but I don’t think she can she’s been run out of it already by sandrin tassu who hit
The front trying to pick up this bonus now she does that Yang of Chinese taipe picking up another valuable point so Yang certainly looking good behind Aras at the moment Tass making a move looking to add another medal to the 300 meter time trial that she’s already picked up around they go again
Here it is some more points off for grabs as some of the eliminated Riders and start planning for their next event so Aras and yang we TK tucked in just behind them as we get close to halfway it really is a two horse race at the
Moment but still an awful lot of points to be picked up as we are now down to our final 10 now that should be the end of the elimination so these 10 will just be out there now trying to pick up some points the continuing to look really good
That’s a lot of daylight but the top two have put between themselves and the rest of the field and still no real Attack coming from anywhere else either which is a bit of a surprise let’s see if somebody is saving thems for a late charge but meanwhile
Yang and Aras we just so are if you’re going to leave us to share the points that’s exactly what we’ll do two skaters in double figures and that’ll do it as far as Julia Boni is concerned the gold medalist probably 500 met Sprint will not be picking up any more Hardware
Here once again chines taipe and Colombia leading the way there’s an attack from and see I or is that to Marica tum well we wonder where tum has been hiding and now she pops up the German she’ll be looking to make a late burst she’s been just biing her time
Marum and this has really opened the field wide up because three of them have just made a move tomb being one of them and she’s taken Aras I think that is with her it is indeed Aras the Chinese Ty a sker and sreen Tas is trying to close that Gap as well because
Tas and Tom look like they could be contesting the bronze medal right here at the moment so Tas needs to get in and pick up some quick points Tom has really made a big move at about 2/3 of the way through this 10,000 meter event now task just
Sitting in in the light blue but uh Tom going around Lee is in that group as well so Yang has been dropped so Le will be looking to see if she can close the gap a little bit these four looked like they may have the rest
Of the points to themselves and it all opened up when marum the German just decided I’m making my move this is my time now this is the Breakaway group and the others I think have just settled for what they’ve got which in the case of most of them is not a lot so
Tomb being attacked by Tass on the outside Aras who is looking in really good shape at the moment three-point lead and yang has been dropped so tomb picking up a couple more points and now sreen Tass has decided time to make my move Lee also has got to attack from the
Back there of that little group she seems happy just to stick at the back of that little quartet but only the top two will pick up points so Aras will be hoping that uh she’s done enough surely she has she makes a move here Tom
Tracking her all the way Tass has got to try and get past tomb in this battle for the the minor honors those two are both locked on Six Points both trying to chase down Yang who’s currently the silver medal but doesn’t seem able to add to those 10 points Aras in the meantime
Comfortable big big gap now Aras certain of the gold you would think it’s the battle for bronze at the moment that’s getting interesting and can tum and Tas both catch and overhaul Yang who is currently in second but unable to add to that tally and the other Chinese tiea skater Lee
Just sat there in this quartet but making no kind of move at all she’s been at the back of this group as Tash decides right let’s try and add to my bounty T and tomb continuing just make their moves and now we get down to Serious Business nine laps
Remaining so they’re running out of time to andas they try and catch Yang skaters that are level on points it will be settled on time so at the moment Tas and Tom if they can both just add two more points that’ll run Yang out of things and
They’re going to pick up points here by the look of it with Tom looking to make the attack bursting off here well Aras knows she’s got this in the bank but that doesn’t stop her
