Victory & egrave; It was conquered by Russia in which departing could be granted the underdogs. However the launch & egrave; Because little was definitely exciting & eacute; Maxim Tsvetkov you & egrave; It is rather dull and lost contact from opponents more & ugrave; dangerous. We thought Evgeny Garanichev, the best in the second fraction, to bring the team to the command of the operation. Followed by & ograve; Dmitry Malyshko has stolen particularly the 'eye and ceded ground to direct competitors for success, while remaining afloat. A close Anton Shipulin you & egrave; become the protagonist of a high-level performance and gave the second victory of the season in the Russian movement.
Piazza d''honor for Germany, playing very well thanks to an Erik Lesser polished. The twenty-seven of Thuringia has delivered a decent margin to Benedikt Doll, who for & ograve; He has squandered the 'heritage & agrave; He received a dowry of ending nell''anello penalty payment agrave ;. Arnd Peiffer brought his team on course for victory, Simon Schempp finally made his and & egrave; played with success Shipulin, being defeated in the sprint after a final round path both in rhythm little sustained. With hindsight, the strategy will wait & egrave; proven loser, but not & egrave; He said the German had to attack the Russian forces.
The podium & egrave; completed by Norway, it presented itself in restructured training. After two fractions without infamy and without praise Ole Einar Bj ø rndalen and Lars Helge Birkeland & egrave; climbed into the chair Johannes Thingnes B ø ;, author of a stellar performance. The twenty-two Stryn gave a lead of half a minute to Erlend Bj ø ntegaard who has done everything possible, but has not been able to counteract the well-pi & ugrave; Shipulin talented and Schempp. Third place & egrave; in any case positive result, given the absence of Emil Hegle Svendsen and Tarjei B ø ;.
Remaining at the top the 'Austria, fourth, while France's Martin Fourcade is an orphan & egrave; placed fifth. The 'Italian instead concluded sixteenth, getting a disappointing result. Christian De Lorenzi and Lukas Hofer have done very well, so much so that the Italians have changed even with Russia in half & agrave; race, after which & eacute; & Egrave; He entered the scene Joseph Montello, even forced to walk four times the 'ring agrave penalty payment; after a disastrous polygon on the ground. A close Dominik Windisch has certainly not been able to straighten out a compromised situation.
It rises spontena reflection. In recent days the press Gardena have read articles of fire towards the technical staff about the decision not to bring in Anterselva Alexia Runggaldier. Now, Thomas Bormolini has no sponsor cos & Igrave; powerful behind him, so its exclusion did less noise, but one wonders what prompted those who manage things back the Valtellina in favor of less powerful Friuli, especially considering how the percentages of the two were in fact similar.
Mind you, & egrave; Montello's fault if the 'Italy did not win the relay race today. He not 'would have won anyway and would not even be on the podium. However it is perplexing to see that for some mysterious reason you have decided to deploy in the World Cup an athlete still inadequate to the context, with predictable results.
Next weekend is not & egrave; No race of the maximum circuit ricominer & agrave; February 4 from Canmore, in Canada.Tuttavia from 27 January to Cheile Gradistei (Romania) will stage the World Junior and youth.
