Out of the 21 soldiers who came to Italy in the Polish team, only the size of the arena of Milan appeared today. Michał Niewiński. The skater competed in short track qualification at a distance of 500 m. In his run he finished 3rd and did not advance to the quarterfinals. He thus ended his participation in the games.
The typical of the Central Military Sports squad competed in the sixth run. His rivals were Italian Thomas Nadalini, Dutch Melle van ‘T Wout and Australian Brendan Corey. The Pole finished in 3rd position with a time of 41,174 s. The Dutchman won before the host typical – both secured a promotion to the quarter-finals, which will take place in 2 days. I'm afraid it's st. scale. Michał Niewiński did not get a pass for further competition, which means that this was his last start at these games.
In the quarterfinals at 500 m in the Milano Forum, Poland will represent only Félix Pigeon, who finished second in the 4th qualifying run. Today's quarter-final run for 1000 m Gabriela Topolska took 5th place and did not advance to the semifinals.
St. Wide. Michał Niewiński competed present at the Milano Forum in the 4th competition. In the mixed relay – together with Pigeon, Natalia Maliszewskia and Kamila Sellier – the White-Reds finished the launch in the quarter-final phase. They were ranked ninth. In the 1000 m run Niewiński after a large run in the quarterfinals reached the final B and yet in the full classification finished ninth. At the distance of 1500 m, the typical of the CGM in the first quarterfinal finished sixth and thus failed to safe a promotion to the semi-finals.
