In the expected skeleton races, the team led by the Technical Director Maurizio Oioli, collected a seventh and an eighth place thanks to the good performances of Amedeo Bagnis and Alessia Crippa. In the men's race, the bearer of the Bob Club Cortina, an authentic revelation of the current season, has once again shown its enormous potential, however, on this occasion, it has failed to make the usual difference in the push phase in a track that usually rewards those who start. strong. The blue finished in seventh position however, paying a delay of 1 "07 from the winner Felix Keisinger who thus celebrated his second consecutive junior world title.
Germany has placed two other athletes behind Keisinger, Felix Seibel and Fabian Kuechler, who have thus completed a podium entirely Made in Germany. Twenty-fifth and twenty-ninth position for the other two Azzurri in the race Gabriele Marenchino and Pietro Drovanti who failed to qualify for the second heat.
In the women's test, the German hat-trick was "ruined" by the victory by the Czech naturalized Teutonic Anna Fernstaedtova who with a sensational second run conquered her second junior career title, the first with the colors of the Czech Republic. Second place for Susanne Kreher 44 cents and third place for Hannah Neise 48 cents from the winner.

Good test also for Alessandra Fumagalli who placed in fifteenth position.
