Unlike past seasons, the leaders of the US Bobsled and Skeleton Federation decided to hold the usual two selection races in just gut Lake Placid & nbsp; avoiding the trip to Park City. In this way, the protagonists of the team stars and stripes have cherished the mistakes made during the first trials to give everything in quest''ultimo appointment, and indeed the run times have decreased significantly. & Nbsp; & nbsp;
Among women & nbsp; has again triumphed Jamie Greubel-Poser & nbsp; confirming that the success achieved in the previous week was not the result of chance. & Nbsp; The thirty-two original & nbsp; Newtown has definitely impressed when pushing, showing that he had found in the brakeman Lauren Gibbs the perfect companion to rock dreams of victory in the upcoming season. Greubel-Poser has indeed clocked the same time of departure of Elana Meyers nell''occasione who had returned to partnering with Charelle Garrett, brakeman which last year allowed her to win the World Cup and World Championship title. & Nbsp ;
The two great challengers had closed down the first paired in the first position, but in the second and final leg Greubel-Poser & nbsp; & egrave; He managed to put his nose in front, overtaking rival of just 9 cents. Important third place to Nicole Vogt & nbsp; that despite the heavy delay charged against the first two of the class, you & egrave; earned the pass to the maximum circuit bob. Vogt former brakeman passed four years ago to lead the bob, will & agrave; called to play a season of 'apprenticeship so they can deliver the best in the years ahead.
In trying to bob Two-Man & egrave; He staged a wonderful battle that involved the leader of the US team Steven Holcomb and Nick Cunningham. After the first heat Holcomb drove with 16 cents of margin against the rival. In the heats decisive & ograve; Cunningham was more & ugrave; incisive and recovered every meter around the delay in closing out their first descent trial with 8 cents ahead against the direct rival. Third place for Codie Bascue that cos & Igrave; He got the right to take part for the second consecutive year at the World Cup.
Steven Holcomb is & egrave; finally redeemed nell''unica screening test dedicated to the four-man bob. Olympic champion Vancouver 2010 accompanied by fellow & nbsp; Frank Del Duca, Charles Valdes & nbsp; and Sam McGuffie & nbsp; has struggled more & ugrave; expected to win success. To make it complicated life has a positive thought Nick Cunningham that thanks to a splendid first heat had finished second just 3 cents from the champion of Park City. In the heat decisive for Holcomb & ograve; He could make a difference by bringing to 13 cents ahead of rivals. & nbsp;
Also interesting is the fight for third place which guaranteed the 'last slot for the World Cup. For awarding him & egrave; was the young Codie Bascue that through two rounds balanced & egrave; He managed to get behind Elana Meyers. This result therefore excluded from next season's four-man bob world champion of women's bobsleigh.
