At Lake Placid & nbsp; when all seemed ready to celebrate the 'yet another success of Felix Loch, the final & egrave; I got an unexpected error of German who gave the home crowd a historic and unexpected goals with the US in the first place and second place Chris Mazdzer Tucker West. & Nbsp;

The ruler of the & nbsp; last four seasons had shown in the first run today that he promptly redeemed from suspension of Igls, printing an unparalleled 51 "272. An authentic tempone who allowed Loch closing the first half with 128 thousandths ahead in against the first of the pursuers. A comfortable margin that knowing the great experience of the Bavarian would allow him to take the 'umpteenth career success. & nbsp;
Instead & egrave; successful 'imponderable. Two-time Olympic champion in the final stretch committed a serious mistake that made him lose all the advantage gained & nbsp; and cross the finish line only sixth. A very disappointing result for the German champions once again can not find a smile on the track of the state of New York, & nbsp; and that especially complicates its way to winning the fifth consecutive World Cup.
They smile instead Americans Chris Mazdzer and Tucker West receiving the plate 'silver a splendid double. Both the Americans sailed two excellent performances making the most of home advantage and choosing solutions at & nbsp; materials decidedly favorable than the rest of the competition. The States then arrives a historic 1:00 to 2:00 in the history of the discipline has only two previous. In 1992 just in Lake Placid Americans they celebrated the success of Duncan Kennedy compatriot Tim Wiley, while last year Mazdzer beff & ograve; the West in the sprint race in Calgary. & nbsp;
With the success of today's second career Chris Mazdzer & nbsp; also get the yellow bib of overall leader, the leadership team veteran stars and stripes may keep even after the next race weekend as it correr & agrave; Park City and there will be & agrave; also scheduled the first sprint of the season.
The podium & egrave; was completed by Wolfgang Kindl rimontante that thanks to the fastest time in the heats set during the final descent fought back, taking a position just 40 thousandths from victory. The 'Tyrolean athlete in these first two races you & egrave; demonstrated the luge pi & ugrave; regular dell''intero circuit although once again he missed the success for a few milliseconds.
In the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh were placed four German athletes, the best of which & egrave; Julian Von Schleinitz result that with this positive performance may have earned his place in the team on the field Teutonic for the remaining rounds of the season.
The 'other big disappointment of the day & egrave; unfortunately it came from Dominik Fischnaller that the American track aimed to reconfirm the success of Igls. The Carabiniere Mühlbacher not quest''oggi & egrave; He never has been able to play for a top placement, revealing obvious difficulty & agrave; nell''affrontare the key features of the gut of the state of New York, & nbsp; by closing both heats with a clear break from the leadership. Beyond the & agrave; dell''anonima today & nbsp; twelfth final position, the 'most worrying aspect of the test dell''italiano, it concerns the heavy & nbsp; gap accused by Fischnaller against main rivals, particularly from the podium (greater than 900 thousandths ed ), than ever on this occasion & egrave; & nbsp; directly traceable to driving errors.
The 'blue pu & ograve; however, breathe a sigh of relief in key World Cup, since as mentioned earlier Felix Loch its direct rival for the Coppone 'preceded by six positions rosichiandoli only 18 points. The twenty-two South Tyrolean has still thrown away one of the few opportunities to precede the German Champion, and if you'll want & agrave; really aspire to the Crystal Ball will have & agrave; try to do the bang in Park City more gut very dear to the Italian colors.
Race little positive also for the other two Italians in the race. Kevin Fischnaller finished in fifteenth place, while Emanuel Rieder & egrave; placed in nineteenth position. & nbsp;
The next round of the World Cup luge & egrave; scheduled in seven days on the track at Park City where disputer & agrave; well as the first of the three tests sprint of the season.
