国外网站对这次比赛的报道:一次永驻记忆的但丁神曲般的比赛
The participants of the 2017 Skating Marathon of Engadin will remember this extraordinary edition for a very long time! The (theoretically) fastest marathon in the world unfolded in the snow, with temperatures close to 0°C, on a wet and slippery road. Knowing the course and the impressive slope that's in it, we can't but take our hats off to the 400 skaters of 25 different nationalities who took the start in Saint-Moritz!
This year, the race was also the Masters European Marathon Championship. The start was given at 9 am. After 1 hour and 5 minutes of race, Yves Reist (SUI), Christian Kromoser (AUT) and Guillaume De Mallevoue (FRA) crossed the finish line.
The first woman, Katja Ulbrich (GER) finished in 1 hour and 13 minutes, followed by Flurina Heim (SUI) and Silvana Gämperli (LIE). A huge number of contestants gave up before the start. Wiser, maybe. Amongst those who did take the start, some suffered falls, others experienced cold shocks. The least to say is that skating suits are not meant for that kind of weather conditions! Congratulations to each and everyone of them, whether they did finish the race or not. |
