The monstrous performance of the first round of the British pushed up the pressure against Janine Flock leader of the World Cup, as it happened a week ago in the first race in Igls, & egrave; literally gone in confusion committing vistosissime smudge in the middle of the track, which cost the beauty of 69 cents delay by rival and above the tenth part time.
The 'incredible quid dell''austriaca threw open the doors to the young German Tina Hermann that with the second run time virtually closed the first round in first place of the World Series.
In the second downhill & ograve; Flock took out the 'pride disputing a heat all of' attack, which allowed her to improve by more than three-tenths the previous time. The Tyrolean once they arrive at the finish line was not to do anything but wait for the proof of rivals, cultivating the hope of recovering more & ugrave; positions can to recover the Crystal Ball.
The test dell''austriaca bore fruit, allowing it to overcome nell''ordine Vathje, Gilardoni, Griebel, Deas and McGrandle, giving the red and white the mathematical certainty of the victory of the World Cup, even before waiting descents of direct rivals Hermann and Yarnold. Quest''ultime perhaps influenced by the result of Flock took to the track less convinced than usual disputing two runs well below the expectations among. Between the two, Hermann has had the worst closing even in fifth position behind dell''austriaca, while Olympic champion despite the obvious mistakes could prevail for only 4 cents sull''arrembante Maria Orlova.
