The winners were the Swiss Peter Rico and the South Korean Won Yunjong that at the end of the two rounds in the program showed the same time to the hundredth. The two protagonists of the day sailed two descents complementary with the 'Asia that made the difference in the first run and the' Swiss who & egrave; He invented a final heat bordering on perfection.
Both crews were toghether excellent time boost, but most have benefited from excellent materials that pushed them to touch the pi & ugrave; high peaks of speed & agrave; both in the central portion than in the final dell''impianto Canadian.
The result today & egrave; It intended to come right in the history of the bob. In fact, never in the previous 420 & nbsp; races valid for the World Cup (in two-man bobsleigh and four-man bob) c''era victory was a tie, but above all never a crew Asian had won a round of the maximum circuit bob.
The historic victory of Won allows not only to South Korea to become the 'eleventh nation (USSR, East Germany and West included) & nbsp; to win at least one race of the World Cup, but also projects the thirty Korean to drive large the overall margin tossing toward a impronosticabile winning the Crystal Ball. The 'Asian nell''occasione & egrave; It was favored dall''improvviso withdrawal dell''ex leader of the ranking Francesco Friedrich who finished third after the first run, & egrave; It was victim of an accident during the break between the two races that he was unable to finish the race.
The podium & egrave; It was completed by Alexander Kasyanov that because of a second & nbsp; push a little stronger dissipated the narrow margin of advantage that had accumulated during the first descent. Russian & egrave; cos & Igrave; fell from first to third place by closing just one hundredth of a delay by the victors saving, the podium for just a penny on the always positive Ugis Zalims. & nbsp;
Fifth place tied for & nbsp; & nbsp Oskars MelbÄrdis; returned to racing after the 'injury suffered during a workout in the gym took place during the Christmas break. Latvian accompanied as usual by the brakeman Dreiskens & egrave; It was significantly slowed down by this physical problem especially in the boost phase where for the first time in the last two years & egrave; It was among the best. The Baltic & egrave; He was joined by Canadian Spring Ranked great to recover dall''undicesimo place of the first run due to better part-time in the final heat. & nbsp;
Another test undertone for Nico Walther probably for the lack of experience on the track of the British Columbia ended only in twelfth position. Fifteenth place finish instead for Simone Bertazzo and Simone Fontana.
The night will go Italian & agrave; staged by Whistler always a second two-man bobsleigh race, valid as the sixth place of the World Cup.
