The master of the last six editions of the World Cup & egrave; become the protagonist of a heat to the limit of perfection characterized by a time to push much better than that of the previous day, which allowed him to embark on the track at a speed & agrave; more and give your track from the first meters of the race. In the lower part especially since kreisel forward, Dukurs & egrave; was unbeatable, tant '' & egrave; which closed its performance with the new record dell''impianto, improving the previous record held by him from 43 cents!
The heats of the monstrous Latvian tried to replicate that with Alexander Tretyakov traces clean & egrave; able to benefit greatly from the start, but then as happened in two runs yesterday & nbsp; had to give way to the historic rival accusing only in this fraction the beauty of 28 cents. The Olympic champion now has a total of 45 cents from the detachment leader and unless sensational twists should have put in the safe his fourth World Championship medal.
Consolidates third place Tomass Dukurs anch''egli author of a superb descent that allowed him to shake off the dangerous German Grotheer Jungk and the pursuers a few cents. The eldest Latvian & egrave; was the 'only athlete with the exception of the first two of the class to be dropped under the wall of 56 seconds, now bringing the gap between himself and the principal pursuers to over 7/10. A margin of safety that enable & agrave; to descend more tranquilit & agrave; the final run, which could allow him to win his first world medal of his career.

Fades to a penny the qualification to the final round for the 'blue Mattia Gaspari terminating & nbsp; the twenty-first his first world in the senior category. The twenty-one Cortina who yesterday explained that he had problems with starting tracks, quest''oggi turned in a descent on the levels shown in the course of the season although to be honest the 'non athlete Venetian & egrave; was immune from some minor niggles that prevented him to center the top20. A result that leaves a little '' bitter taste in the mouth, but that does not erase the progress shown dall''azzurro in this edition of the World Cup and World Junior.
Retrieves a position in the course of this descent the 'other Italian race Joseph Cecchini who complete their race in twenty-sixth place. A result which certainly does not satisfy the standard bearer of the Bob Club Selvino that beyond some interesting times thrust has probably paid the price to be unaware of the German track.
