Women

Last year's world champion Eliza Christie from Great Britain will not participate in the current European Championships as she continues to recover from a hip injury that the athlete received while competing at the ISU World Cup in Budapest in September 2017. The best short track speed skater in the world last season aims to fully recover and reach peak form in a month in Pyeongchang.

Over the past decade, in the women's part of the European Championships program Italian legend Arianna Fontana has been on the podium 8 times, and she has won the all-around title six times (2008, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2017).

She has faced stiff competition in recent years from Christie, who won gold in 2015 and 2016. However, last year home ice in Turin, in the absence of the British representative, 27-year-old Arianna Fontana again won the top title. Of course, in Dresden too, Fontana, recently selected as Italy's flag bearer at the Winter Olympics opening ceremony, will be keen to bolster her team's confidence in her star potential.

Fontana has been on the podium at this season's World Cup several times. She won silver medals in Budapest and Shanghai in the 500m and bronze in Shanghai in the 1000m. Her teammate Martina Valcepina, 25, also impressed with her speed and strategy, taking bronze in the 500m at the ECM in Dordrecht and Seoul.

Other contenders for medals include two representatives of the Dutch national team, Suzanne Schulting and Jara van Kerkhof.

Men

In the men's part of the European Championships program for two recent years there was no equal to Semyon Elistratov, who replaced the Dutchman Shinki Knegt, the 2015 all-around champion, on the European throne.

Knegt is in excellent form this season. The 28-year-old Dutch short track speed skater has a good chance of winning olympic medals and consistently improves his results on the way to the Olympics, having 5 ECM medals to his name: bronze at 1500 m in Budapest, bronze (1500 m), silver (500 m) and gold (1000 m) in Dordrecht and silver (1500 m) in Shanghai.

Who will be his main opponent this weekend in Germany? Brilliant brothers from Hungary, Shaolin Sandor Liu and Shaoan Liu. Shaolin won gold at the ECM in Budapest in the 500m and 1000m in Seoul. The brothers also reached the podium, finishing second (Shaolin) and third (Shao'an) respectively in Seoul (500m) and Shanghai (1000m). Often brothers help each other by jumping out from behind and making an unexpected dash.

Russian team

Russian short track speed skaters spent the first part of the season very unconvincingly. Formally, following the results of the World Cup, the Russian team completed the main task: it received three (the maximum number) tickets to the Games in each of the three men’s distances, two in each of the women’s and in both relay races. However, no high results were shown: the participants in the main finals Russian athletes became a number of times, but at four stages we won only three medals, all of them for women. In men best result Semyon Elistratov made it to the finals in the 1000 in Holland, which ended in a violation of the rules and disqualification.

Based on the results of the first part of the season, only Sofia Prosvirnova in the 500 and the women's relay team can be considered real contenders for European Championship medals.

The Russian national team at the European Championship will be represented by Viktor An, Semyon Elistratov, Alexander Shulginov, Denis Airapetyan and Pavel Sitnikov.

The women's half of the team was led by the country's strongest short track speed skater Sofya Prosvirnova. Together with her, the team included Ekaterina Efremenkova, Ekaterina Konstantinova, Tatyana Borodulina and Emina Malagich.
