The two tobogganists of Thuringia have created the conditions for success today thanks to an extraordinary first descent which allowed him to pull his compatriots and rivals Wendl-Artl well of 287 thousandths. Despite the distinct advantage gained after a fraction, the two Germans have played a second run again all''attacco that allowed him again to gain ground against all of them. With this success, the first of his career in territory outside Europe, Toni Eggert and Sascha Benecken get the third win of the season, since for the 'absurd Regulation FIL the triumph of the Sprint Cup in Igls & egrave; equated with a "traditional" victory in the World Cup.
Second place for the Olympic champions Tobias Wendl and Tobias Arlt that give Germany the first double of the season in the traditional race format. For the two "Bayern-Express" second place today has a marked bitter because & egrave; puts even more & ugrave; highlight the overwhelming superiority & agrave; Eggert-Benecken. Quest''ultimi fact in the last six official releases (3 trials and three Cup races) have consistently outperformed the rulers of the past three seasons, and the 'impression & egrave; that this trend can hardly be contained in the next calendar appointment.
The podium & egrave; was completed by the Austrians Penz-Fischler that center on the third podium of the season. The two Tyrolean have been involved in a stunning comeback in the final round, which allowed him to climb from fifth place in the first run in the third step of the podium. Behind the white-red-detached only 4 thousandths were placed brothers Latvian Sics-Sics quest''oggi that have been shown to be in excellent condition. The two Baltic fact even a week ago at Igls had been involved in a brilliant first run before you ruin everything in the final stretch of the final run.
Another wonderful test for Russians Yuzhakov-Prokorov that after the 'excellent second place in Igls, capture another finish in the top five. The dual Russian seems to have good materials and if it were to find consistent performance throughout the season, could stand to fight for a place in the top three of the final standings.
Good test for the new association Mortensen US-Terdiman sixth overall, in the final run that has torn an excellent fourth run time recovering three positions compared to the first descent.
Race decidedly subdued for the Italian colors. The patrol blue that on this track he hoped to win at least a podium finish given the previous favorable returns home only with a seventh, a tenth and a fifteenth place. A very skinny booty that must sound like bells' warning for the forthcoming commitments.
In particular there & egrave; that makes more concern & egrave; the 'involution of promising Ludwig Rieder and Patrick Rastner that the last two seasons were constantly fighting for a place in the top five. The duo of South Tyrol to the & agrave; of exceptional times thrust (second and fourth time overall in this fundamental) today such Igls a week ago, & egrave; seemed very slow in the pi & ugrave; Fast closing of the track with a delay of more than one second by the victors.
Race from supporting actors, but nobody expected to pi & ugrave; from them after the splendid fifth place in Igls, for the very young blue-Gruber Kainzwaldner who finished in fifteenth position.
The next round of the Luge World Cup twice & egrave; scheduled in seven days on the track in Calgary, where for the second time andr & agrave; scene in the new format of the Sprint Cup.
