The winners of the last edition of the Crystal Ball & nbsp; quest''oggi have built its success thanks to an extraordinary first run that has put them in command of the standings to just 55 thousandths & nbsp; of advantage against historical rivals Wendl-Arlt. A gap that risicatissimo & ograve; for the second consecutive race has put great pressure on the shoulders of the trackers that a little '' for nervousness & nbsp; and a little '' for the lack of feeling with the track at Mount Van Hoevenberg stumbled upon a series of high-profile mistakes which relegated them in a little predictable eighth. & nbsp;
The debacle of Wendl-Arlt has effectively opened the door for the second victory of the season for Toni Eggert and Sascha Benecken that although aware of the bad performance of compatriots, were not spared by signing again the best part-time. The duo of Thuringia captures cos & Igrave; the second consecutive triumph on the American gut and gets the twelfth victory of his career by standing strongly to the role of double to beat the rest of the season.
Excellent second place for the Austrians Peter Penz and Georg Fischler who although never in the race for success, have proved once again ready to jump at the wonderful opportunity to climb on the second step of the podium. Third position for & nbsp; Sics-Sics, & nbsp; good to climb from fifth pizza & nbsp; and to grab their tenth career podium.
At the foot of the podium came the surprising German Geueke Robin and David Gamm who have played by far their best game since I arrived in the circuit of the World Cup. The young association Teutonic had closed the first one even in third place but then in the final run has committed some trimming of the maze too low down by one. A nice confidence boost for the upcoming seasonal events and especially for Germany that can & ograve; We have found in Geueke-Gamm two possible candidates to take forward the long tradition of winning seasons in the German venture.
House Italy was expected something more & ugrave; the fifth & nbsp; 4 tenths off the podium in Oberstolz-Gruber. The two veterans Blues have indeed saved with this placement a team performance certainly negative, characterized by the twelfth place of Rieder-Rastner that respect all''incoraggiante test Igls and expectations Eve made an abrupt return & nbsp; to the disappointing performance of the past season. It is hoped that gi & agrave; from the next stage both associations in South Tyrol can play a leading role, even if the 'current gap between Italian double the podium & egrave; still too wide to bridge. & nbsp;
The next round of the World Cup luge double & egrave; scheduled in seven days on the track at Park City in Utah.
