Fantastic Olympics for Francesca Lollobrigida. The final of the mass start of speed skating, which closes the program of this Olympic edition as regards ice skating, takes place according to the script: gold for the Dutch Irene Schouten, silver for the Canadian Ivanie Blondin and bronze for the blue. They were the three favorites, in exactly that order. The Frascati skater risked crashing at the penultimate corner due to a contact with the Japanese Sato. There she lost contact with Schouten and Blondin, who fought for the victory: the Netherlands representative was clearly superior and won the sprint by a margin.
Too bad for that episode in the finale, but this Schouten would still have been hard to beat. Not bad in any case: the bronze follows the silver won in the 3,000 meters a few days ago. For Lollobrigida it is the best way for what will be his role as flag bearer of Italy tomorrow in the closing ceremony of the Winter Games. Third gold for Irene Schouten in Beijing 2022 after those of 3,000 and 5,000 meters.
