Duke breaks off em - Rosner surprises with a strong debut in Heerenveen!

Heerenveen, Niederlande - drama at the skating of the ice: Ex-European champion Vanessa Herzog thrown the towel at the European Championship weekend in Heerenveen! After disappointing placements-sixth over 500 meters and ninth over 1,000 meters-the 29-year-old ended the sprint fourth fight early. "Running makes no sense. I don't know why. In training, I drive faster than everyone, but I don't bring it together in the race," Duke was frustrated. This means that for the sporting hope of hopes of hope to increase up to the single-road world championships in Norway in early March, as krone.at

In the same discipline, 18-year-old Jeannine Rosner, on the other hand, causes a sensation! At her EM debut, she reached an impressive seventh place over 500 meters in the all-round fourth battle and even the tenth over 3,000 meters with a personal best. "Of course I am fully satisfied with seventh place. I would not have expected that," cheered the Tyrolean, who is currently on course for the top 8 with 82.141 points. On Sunday, the 1,500-meter run decides on its move into the final of the best eight athletes, such as tt.com reported.

Mixed for the men: Ignaz Gschwentner ultimately reached 18th place in the sprint four-way fight-an increase, which, however, cannot achieve the shine of Rosner's performance. While the 18-year-old is looking for better ranking list positions, the young Rosner puts the hopes of the Austrian speed skating team on her side and could cause a stir with further strong performance.
