Hi Skating Media, Italian Masters Men take out Asianic Inline cup no 2 at the F1 track in Singapore, & Indonesia the ladies, with a tropical downpour the day started with the 500 meter heats for men, then the Womens & Mens finals, 15 minutes later the Ladies 30 km Marathon, followed 3 mins later by the mens 42 km.
As the Marathons were about to get underway the rain stopped, but the rain drenched track remained a bit on the slippery side. In the ladies Eri Marina Yo from Kalimantan Indonesia made very short work of her opponents, by winning the 500 meters, plus the 3 sprint primes & lapping the field to take maximum points, she is definately one skater wo could pick up points in full WIC races & hopefully she can get to Incheon Korea & Suzhou China to fully rest herself.
The experienced USA Global Worker Kim Aimes was 2nd in both the 500 meters, 3 sprint primes, plus the 30 km Marathon. Manee Chantakett Micro- X-Tech Singapore was 3rd in the 3 sprint primes, while in the 30 km she had to settle for 5th behind the 2 Hong Kong girls Elaine Suen Yee Ting & Lung Kwan both from Checker Sport Bont Hong Kong. Young Hong Kong skater Chan Sze Tim, withdrew but was rewarded with a special prize for the youngest skater.
The mens day started off with the straightline 500 meters with 3 heats & the first 4 Qualifyers going through to the finals. Hong Kong man Doon Yuen from Checker sport Bont was the suprise winner from Michelle Cicognani Italy & Daniel Chew Wee team Revo Shankel Singapore Santinder Pal Singh was 4th with Lai Yongquan ( Fast Boy ) Revo Singapre 5th, with Jack Ko Wan Hang provisionally 6th.
There was plenty of Activity in the sprint primes with Daisuke Kazamaki Schankel - Kazax Japan winning the first of 4 from Fabian Lachenmair Skatertreff Germany who proceeded to win the next 3 primes, Lachenmair currently based in Bologna was working well with the Italians Michelle Cicognani & Carlo Scalera, this experienced group was controlling the race.
In the last lap sprint 11 skaters only were in the lead group,the Italian skaters got themselves in the best position comming out of the last bend, with the Singapore skater Daniel Chew Wee finding himself outnumbered with no team support & losing contact with the winners.
A triumphant Carlo Scalero Italy roared down to the finish with Team Mate Michele Cicognani covering him, as the victory was set for Scalero, but 3rd place was the Indian Skater Satinder Pal Singh, there coach Hari OM Gupta & Manager Vinod Kumar Sefrawat were over the moon & so was Satinder, probably the first Indian to record such a high placing in an International Marathon event.
4th place went to Hong Kong Checker sport Bont sprint winner Doon Yuen, 5th the Singapore star Daniel Chew Wee Revo Schankel Singapore, the hard working German based Italian Fabian Lachenmair was 6th, the Japanese Diasuke Kazamaki 7th & if you think India was happy with a 3rd, then you had to see the Italian Stefano Lota 8th,this Veteran 1 year short of 60 found the conditions to his likeing & a very creditable 8th place.
In 9th was Daryl Chan Chiang from Team Bont/TSV Singapore who tried everything to break away along with his hard working teammate Terence Chew who ran himself into the ground working at the front & was 11th, between these was the young Indian Mohit Malik 10th, Australian Peter Jewel 12th, Peter found himself in no mans land & settled into a rythm to pick up a good placement. Fresh back from Military traing Lai Yonquan Revo Singapore was 13th, only dropping off in the last 8 km, rounding out the top 20 who scored points were 14th Mirco Pancaldi Italy, 15th Lau Pak Hei Hong Kong, 16th Rohit GoyalIndia, 17th Lim June Liang Singapore, 18th Edmund Tay Singapore, 19th Tan Chee Wee Alan Singapore & Jack Ko Wan Hang Hong Kong in 20th position.
