The twenty-nine of Krasnoyarsk drove a perfect race, signing both run in the best program run times. The Russian, as usual, made the difference in the initial part of the gut, by printing two departures monstrous contibuito who are crucial to the end result. Tretiakov therefore maintains its imbattibilit & agrave; home track, the same as soon as 12 months ago, the regal & ograve; the triumph pi & ugrave; important career, the Olympic title. For Russian comes the second victory of the season, the seventh in the World Cup, which gives him moral views dell''appuntamento world Winterberg, where will have & agrave; defend tooth crown in 2013 World Championships in St. Moritz.
Behind the winner trailing by 41 cents, you & egrave; Martins Dukurs placed. The master of the last six editions of the maximum circuit of the skeleton, which gi & agrave; last week it was mathematically won the Crystal Ball, not quest''oggi & egrave; never been able to be able to play the final success. The 'system of Sochi 2014 in fact, seems to be cut brush for rival Tretiakov, athlete who thrust his strong point. Dukurs pu & ograve; nonetheless console themselves with the conquest of his fiftieth podium in World Cup races, yet another record of a career difficult to repeat.
Third position for the South Korean Yun Sungbyn that with third place in the top-three & egrave; has become one of the main protagonists of the series worldwide skeleton. The Korean has passed during the second round, one off Tomass Dukurs that in this final season he lost the enamel of the first three rounds, where he always finished second behind his brother Martins. Complete the top-five Russian Chudinov from which perhaps were expected something more & ugrave ;, since like Tretiakov knows every secret track of Sochi.
Another disappointing performance for Matthew Antoine that the last four races not & egrave; never gone beyond the 'eighth. The 'American who a year ago was consecrated nell''elite skeleton world, turned in a decidedly subdued season in which he won only two podiums, against un''annata 2013-2014 where & egrave; awarded a hit, especially an Olympic bronze medalist.
Twelfth place finish for the 'Italian-Canadian Joseph Cecchini unique blue writing to the Russian competition. Snipers in part facilitated dall''assenza Germans Grotheer and Von Schleinitz, and Russian Tregybov engaged in concurrent junior championships, has centered the best result of the season for the Italian team, as well as & egrave; his best result ever in the World Cup. The 'athlete originally from Calgary could even close set within the top ten since the end of the first descent was installed in ninth place, but then in the final run he made a big mistake losing three positions.
