The duo stationed in Thuringia has confirmed the extraordinary run of form shown a few weeks ago during the three trials of selection desired by the German federation, setting during the first run the new track record. Quest''oggi Eggert-Benecken have virtually made the race apart, as the now historic rival and fellow national Wendl-Artl have raised the white flag gi & agrave; after the initial run. The two "Bayern-Express" & nbsp; in fact, during the first round have committed a series of smears definitely not worthy of their coat of arms, which made them even fall out of the virtual podium. & Nbsp;
In the final run the Olympic champions and masters of the last two seasons have significantly improved the run time but there & ograve; not & egrave; enough to grab the top-three frustrating surprise the much-heralded German-two. The supremacy of & nbsp; Toni Eggert and Sascha Benecken & nbsp; not & egrave; been questioned even in the second run, with the duo Teutonic set the fastest time again, demonstrating that on this track and at this particular time & nbsp; the pair of Thuringia & nbsp; & egrave; double reference.
With this success, the second row to Igls, Eggert-Benecken & nbsp; share rose to five & nbsp; statements in the World Cup starting to do the track Austrian their second feud, given that the other four wins have come just in Tyrol and the gut Oberhof.
& Nbsp;
The podium & egrave; was completed by the Russians Yuzhakov-Prokhorov, gi & agrave; seconds after the first run, that their first outing as a new couple have been raised a very good result, & nbsp; giving Russia the second consecutive podium in the World Cup. & nbsp; The partnership Russian who paid a delay of more than half a second winners, preceded by 20 thousandths Austrians Penz-Fischler seventh after the first round, and 30 thousandths disappointing Wendl-Arlt.
Race two faces for the Italian team. Igls fact the national team can & ograve; rejoice in the wonderful fifth entrants Florian Gruber and Simon Kainzwaldner & nbsp; at the same time must complain the two negative performance of expected Oberstolz-Gruber and & nbsp; Rieder-Rastner who have closed respectively in sixth and twelfth position.
Gruber-Kainzwalder & nbsp; quest''oggi I was the happy surprise of the day. The young South Tyrolean association concluded only 18 thousandths of a historic podium that 'would project directly in the history of this discipline. The two twentysomethings in fact, the first race in the circuit of the World Cup and after brilliantly qualified yesterday in the Nations Cup, & nbsp; had finished the first run in the third position putting behind him even Olympic champions Wendl-Arlt. In the final run for & ograve; Azzurrini have signed the fifth part-time that made them climb to fifth. An incredible achievement for & ograve; should not create false expectations. Igls & egrave; a track that Gruber-Kainzwaldner know perfectly and gi & agrave; last year in the trial of Friday & Igrave; had proven to be very good, but the calendar of Cup & egrave; very long and 'experience in the luge & nbsp; matters a lot, so there & egrave; said that in the next races the two young people fail to confirm this beautiful result.
Race colorless instead experts Oberstolz-Gruber authors of some smudges before dell''ingresso labyrinth that compromised the possibility & agrave; to play for a place on the podium. Try to forget in a hurry for Rieder-Rastner to that of l & agrave; the resounding mistake in the second downhill hardly have centered the top-three.
Among the disappointments of the day should be entered Canadians Walker-Snith overturned during the first run and Latvians Sics Sics-quarters after the first run and sunk as a result of errors in eleventh place. The bad performance of Walker-Snith could have created a gap set within questionable Regulation of Sprint Cup event announced with great fanfare by the International Federation to create the show. The Canadian duo ended their race outside the top fifteen positions therefore Tomorrow potr & agrave; participate in the new race format, being cut off & nbsp; from the fight for the World Cup & nbsp; gi & agrave; at the end of the first date.
