  • Kodaira, Krol and Mantia Hold the Aces As Japan's Team Pursuit
    November 23, 2019 Tomaszów Mazowiecki, Poland Kodaira, Krol and Mantia hold the aces as Japan’s Team Pursuit ladies crash and burn Nao Kodaira (JPN) returned to her winning ways in the 500m, but her compatriots in the ladies' Team Pursuit suffered a first loss after three seasons of invincibility at the ISU World Cup Speed Skating in Tomaszów Mazowiecki, Poland, on Saturday. The Russian ladies took advantage of a weakened Japanese line-up, edging out the Netherlands by 0.12 seconds to win gold. Joey Mantia (USA) crossed the line first to win the men's Mass Start after a hard day's work. In the 1500m he had finished 16th, with Thomas Krol (NED) taking gold in a track record, just 0.19 seconds ahead of team-mate and last week's winner Kjeld Nuis (NED). Kodaira calm and composed Winning the 500m in a track record time of 37.77, Kodaira made amends for the bronze medal that broke a streak of 23 World Cup golds in the 500m last week in Minsk. "That was a bit unlucky," the victorious Japanese said about her race in Belarus. "I was too busy in my head. A lot of things happened. I had to start three times. This week it was better, I only focused on my own skating." Kodaira was referring to her race in Minsk versus Vanessa Herzog (AUT). The Austrian was disqualified after two false starts and was relegated to the B Division. Herzog also bounced back from disappointment confidently winning the B Division race in Poland.

  • CCC Match Report V Wiltshire Queries 10.06.18
    CCC v Wiltshire Queries – Sunday 10th June, 2018 Chilmark’s winning streak came to an inglorious end on Sunday as an over strength Wiltshire Queries cricketed far better than the home team. The writing was on the wall early when pictures filtered through from lakeside in France, where CCC chairman Carl Jacobs had bagged himself a carp the size of a submarine. With the world’s supply of luck being channelled by Jacobs, there wasn’t much to go around Cleeves Farm. This showed on the first ball of the day, when Pete Corbin managed to tempt the batsman into a hook shot that resulted in a top edge. Wicketkeeper Jason Stearman lost sight of it and first slip brand King was still picking his breakfast from his teeth. The ball fell safely and the batsman went on to score 26 before Paul Butler took a sharp caught and bowled chance. It was that kind of day. Butler’s success was followed by an over that saw four sixes hit from it. Seeing this carnage captain Patrick Craig-McFeely decided Reg ‘Golden Arm’ Allen should be injected into the attack. Four more sixes promptly followed. By this time the opener responsible for the onslaught had reached his century (racing from 54 to 102 in 10 balls) and mercifully retired. It was a good time to be tossed the ball. Brand King and Jake Taylor benefitted and started bringing some respectability back to proceedings. When King jagged one between bat and pad Chilmark had their second wicket at the princely sum of 155 runs.
