The favorites to fight for the world title are obviously the Latvian brothers Martins and Tomass Dukurs, together with the Korean Yun, with the German Axel Jungk and British Parsons as pi & ugrave outsider; dangerous, although Martins Dukurs this season & egrave; He appeared at least a notch above everybody else by winning six of the seven stages of the World Cup.
The 'Italian, however, presents itself at the start with & nbsp; Mattia Gaspari who got the ninth time nell''ultima time trial today. A promising result that confirms the growth of Gaspari in season, closed in twelfth place, and that bodes well for the trials tomorrow and Friday & igrave ;, even if the 'blue athlete does not do flights of fancy and stays with the blades firmly planted in ice.

Even perch & egrave; next year I have to start pushing hard to grow, with the guide I feel at ease and how materials can further improved at igls point perhaps to resemble the best 15, under these conditions it would be a good result ".
