Eva Rodansky stops its career

The american skater Eva Rodansky was smiling just after she failed by only 0.08 seconds qualifying for the 1000m of Torino games. « I couldn't have asked for a better ending. When I came back around in the warmup lane, I waved "good-bye" to the crowd with a big smile on my face. No, I wasn't sad that I would not be going to Torino. I honestly didn't want to spend another minute in the world of US Speedskating. I didn't want to travel with them, or to score one single World Cup point in their name, ever again. » The former skater of Boris Leikin and Jan an de Roemer thus takes her retirement criticizing her old federation.
