The performance of the Cecchini during the two-day Canadian, have been very incoragganti and bode well for the pursuit of the season. In particular, the'' blue surprised everyone with the performance on Thursday, where the sixth place after the first run was able to reference the second fastest lap in the final race, which allowed him to gain two positions, taking only 9 cents from the podium.
The result of'' Italian-Canadian assume large proportions since the first round of the North American Cup was also attended by some of the protagonists of the main circuit of the skeleton and stood among them of course the name of the reigning world champion Alexander Tretyakov.
The Russian has participated in the'' North American event to better prepare the first commitment of the World Cup which will be held in Calgary later this month. Tretyakov as forecast clocked the best lap times in the boost phase but did not particularly shine in the middle of the track before ending the race in second place behind Canadian Evan Neufeldt. Quest'' last conducted a flawless race scoring the best run times in both runs in the program.
The first competition of the podium was completed by the Russian Sergei Chudinov trailing by just two cents from teammate Tretyakov, who accused a total delay of 36 cents from the winner.
In the light of the results of the first two races of North American Cup, Joe Cecchini and especially the'' Italian can begin to hope to be able to realize the dream of being able to field two Italian athletes at the start of the Olympic Games in Sochi, as the top three finishers North American circuit will provide a safe place in the next Olympics.
Considering that both the Russians and Tretyakov Chudinov will desert the next tests of North American Cup to focus exclusively on the World Cup circuit, virtually Cecchini would occupy the second place in the American series obviously led by race 1 winner Evan Neufeldt.
