European Short Track Speed Skating Champs Day 2

The second day of the 2014 ISU European Short Track Speed Skating Championship saw different winners in the individual events, while the overall leaders remain the same.

Defending ladies’ champion Arianna Fontana of Italy climbed up the overall rankings with a win in the 500 metres. This is her speciality event and today she showed why, leading the final race from start to finish. Russian skater Tatiana Borodulina was a very close second, managing to hold off the overall leader Jorien Ter Mors (NED). Ter Mors’ third place finish gives her an eight point lead over Fontana heading into the last day of competition on Sunday. Tied for third place, with 21 points each, are Borodulina and Bernadett Heidum (HUN).

Martina Valcepina (ITA) finished fourth in the 500m, while for the second day in a row Dutch skater Yara Van Kerkhof was given a penalty in the final. Despite qualifying for two finals, she has earned no final points in those distances.
In the relay events, the following countries advanced to tomorrow’s finals:
