Martins Dukurs Rule Continues in World Cup skeleton. Even quest''oggi in Winterberg, the champion Baltic literally annihilated the & nbsp; competition won by a wide margin the second round.

As usual, the thirty-one native of Riga who grew up not far from the track in Sigulda, & egrave; been phenomenal in the guided segment dell''impianto dell''Hochsauerland made even more & ugrave; treacherous than usual due to the high temperatures that have created more & ugrave; of a headache to his main rivals. These particular ice conditions have done nothing but enhance the incredible driving skills of Dukurs & nbsp; that should not be forgotten that in addition to being a sensational athlete & nbsp; & egrave; a & nbsp; excellent technician, who personally gave the & nbsp; development and preparation of its skeleton. & nbsp; Latvian who then also benefited from the component materials, finished with 56 cents ahead against dell''accoppiata Tretiakov-Jungk joints instead of 'honor with the same time. For Dukurs then arrives the sixth consecutive victory in Winterberg, the seventh in the last seven seasons when considering also the 'world gold won last March at this track. Behind the winner with noted above were placed Alexander Tretiakov and Axel Jungk who played two rounds complementary. The Russian has indeed disappointed during the first descent where & egrave; He managed to make his usual difference in the boost phase & nbsp; gaining little ground against rivals finishing in third place, but with a gap of less than 44 cents from Dukurs. In the final heat the Olympic champion & egrave; instead he starred in un''ottima departure to the point to take a single cent from the record pushing dell''impianto German, alongside the finish line in second position Axel Jungk. & nbsp; Quest''ultimo instead & egrave; He went strong in the first heat the resulting 'only athlete in the race & nbsp; can hold the gap to a wild Dukurs under twenty cents. On the descent the decisive twenty-four of Dresden has committed some smearing too in the central closing with the seventh part-time, but still saving the second place that then becomes his best result in the World Cup. At the foot of the podium trailing by 87 cents from the peak is & egrave; placed Sungbin Yun. The South Korean after a disappointing race at Altenberg, where he had just closed in twelfth place, & nbsp; quest''oggi & egrave; promptly redeemed by offering two heats convincing worthy of his enormous talent. The top-five is compleata Christopher Grotheer that the final steps over a matte Tomass Dukurs, and gets behind a positive Dominik Parsons and compatriot Zachrau. House in Italy there is the 'good first descent of Mattia Gaspari finally with a good start & egrave; He managed to get to the tour with some good lap times, finishing in eleventh position un''eccellente just 29 cents from the coveted top ten. In the final run of the twenty-one Cortina d''Ampezzo no & egrave; He failed to confirm the placement but has played un''altra good test (13 cents more & ugrave; high as the previous one), finishing in fifteenth place. If the driver of the Bob Club Cortina continues to show significant improvements, you can not & ograve; say the same for the 'Italian-Canadian Joseph Cecchini which, although weakened under pressure from a muscle problem still does not get in the features guided. The 'athlete native of Calgary closed quest''oggi in twenty-fifth position with 65 cents delay the twentieth place, & nbsp; the' last available to take part in the second heat.
