Elana Meyers-Taylor teamed with Cherelle Garrett has literally annihilated the competition by printing in both races scheduled for the best lap times the references. The thirty year old Georgian as usual signed the best lap times in the starting phase, setting the record in the first run of the thrust of the track & rsquo; Hochsauerland.
Contrary to what happened in the races of the season in the World Cup the US & egrave; was the star of two great phases tours that enabled it to capitalize on the advantage gained in the first meters of the race, signing twice the new record of the track.
With these two extraordinary performances the US has put a serious threat to the conquest of the world title, having ensured a lead of almost 4/10 against the first of the pursuers. In fact, with this gap seems rather unlikely that other rivals can to break the bank in the last two rounds remaining.
If regarding the medal & rsquo; gold discourse seems gi & agrave; closed except incredible twists, well ugrave & pi; interesting promises to fight for the last two positions of the podium, which involved the two German Anja Schneiderheinze and Cathleen Martini. The two Teutonic have exchanged positions in the second run where Schneiderheinze & egrave; was able to sign a part-time basis in line with that of Elana Meyers & ndash; Taylor. Saturday afternoon the two teammates are to gather at the starting gate separated by only 13 cents, a gap that leaves quite content to imagine a fight on the edge of cents for winning the medal & rsquo; silver.
Completing the top five a surprising fourth Stefanie Szczurek and Belgian Elfje Willemsen that despite the excellent interims signed in the final stage of the race is not & egrave; managed to recover & rsquo; huge gap accused in the boost phase.
Among the disappointments of the day should be added to the & rsquo; American Jamie Greubel-Poser and the defending world title Kaillie Humphries who have closed respectively in seventh and eighth place distant from the fight for the medals.
The last two rounds in the program will be held in the afternoon of Saturday, February 28th.
