The Latvian accompanied as usual by brakemen Dreiskens, Vilkaste Strenga and made the difference in the second descent where & egrave; managed to bring out the perfect trajectories at the end dell''impegnativo gut Swiss. Melbardis who had finished the first half the lead with just 6 cents ahead of Francesco Friedrich, & egrave; also been able to withstand the pressure to leave for last, knowing that 'the crew' had recently preceded the way he set a new lap record.
With this success, the second consecutive sull''Olympia Bob Run in St. Moritz, the Baltic stretches in the overall World Cup, continuing to rock the dream of being able to get up to the sky at the end of the season both Crystal Balls.

Third position for Maximilian Arndt who centers the fourth podium in five races. The pilot pi & ugrave; expert team of young Teutonic must complain to an obvious mistake in the boost phase during the second run, that has prevented you can worry Friedrich in the fight instead of 'honor.
Another wonderful performance for the fourth rookie Nico Walther, that since the Bobsleigh World Cup & egrave; landed in Europe has won a victory, a second place and a placing behind the podium.
