Beijing: Speedskater Dutch Irene Schouten won gold in 3,000 meters of women with an Olympic record in the Beijing winter game on Saturday.
Francesca Lollobrigida Italia, who took the lead in the early stages of the last race, could not hold on to his profit and finished with silver, while Isabelle Weidemann Canada won bronze.
Schouten time from three minutes 56.93 seconds beat Olympic record 3: 57.70 set by Germany Claudia Pechstein in the city of Salt Lake 2002.
Lollobrigida Clock 3: 58.06 and Weidemann 3: 58.64.
The World Record Holder Martina Sablikova from the Czech Republic was fourth.
Pechstein became the oldest woman to compete in the winter Olympics, at the age of 49, when she was finished last in the field of 20 athletes, at the eighth Olympics.
The 30-year-old Lollobrigida, a big niece in the 1950s and 1960s of the film Gina Lollobrigida, continued to lead in front of Schouten at the initial stage because the couple slid around the national speed oval skating.
Schouten, 29, don’t let Italy deviate too far and follow it at the midpoint of the race before crossing the line first to take gold and notes.
