The Baltic champions despite a showy crush output from starting tracks that & egrave; costing nearly all the advantage gained during the first descent, & nbsp; & egrave; been phenomenal not to get caught up in despair for the 'initial error, playing a second half & agrave; race encyclopedic. Dukurs has indeed drawn the perfect lines that have allowed him also to make a difference & nbsp; at the pi & ugrave; technical track, closing out their heat with the second part-time, losing only 13 cents against Tretiakov. A benefit monstre & nbsp; which demonstrates once again the 'huge superiority & agrave; This athlete on the rest of the company that no accident & egrave; was baptized by insiders as the pi & ugrave; great skeletonista of every age.
Good second run for the Olympic champion Alexander Tretiakov laying down on this occasion the best partial catching up to the leader of the standings. Despite the feeling tempone & egrave; that the Russian on this track is not able to make the most of his talents thrust since the start of the track dell''Hochsauerland & egrave; rather this particular pendant and does nothing but highlight the gap in terms of driving between the two main contenders. Tretiakov still has pretty gi & agrave; put in the safe medal 'silver having led to more than half a second their lead against Tomass Dukurs that continues to keep the third position.
The eldest Dukurs conducted a second descent of the whole 'attack by equating the hundredth time in the heats determined by neo-junior world champion Christopher Grotheer. The German sixth after the first round you & egrave; become the protagonist of a good comeback for that & ograve; not allowed him to gain ground against the third position that continues to stay away 21 cents. For the Teutonic remain still two rounds to bring Germany on the podium of a World Championships, the 'last medal Made in Germany & egrave; in fact dated 25 February 2012.
The second run today has actually skimmed the number of contenders for the fight in the third step of the podium. Besides Tomass Dukurs and Christopher Grotheer were only Alex and Nikita Jungk Tregybov avvanzare still hope to be able to medal. The third place in the ranking of the World Cup has only 25 cents delay Dukurs while the young Russian & egrave; 33 cents away from the bronze.
Completing the top ten Canadian Dave Greszcyszyn, the German Von Schleinitz, the 'English Parsons and the South Korean Yun, respectively, seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth. The 'Asia in particular has paid more & ugrave; any other lack of experience on the German track and all in all its placement & egrave; very interesting considering the fact that he competed with behind only the four test runs.
Continue the moment of difficulty & agrave; for the blue team skeleton that after two rounds saw both its representatives outside the top20. Mattia Gaspari twenty-second after the first test, & nbsp; improved his time competing in a final stretch run much better than the previous run although on this occasion the young Ampezzo worsened split times at the top. We hope that during the third heat the Italian champion in 2014 is able to overcome in the standings 'Austrian Raphael Maier and nab the twentieth place that would ensure' access to the final descent.
Race colorless even for Joseph Cecchini except that sensational surprises concluder & agrave; his adventure rainbow gi & agrave; at the end of the third heat.
