The three & nbsp; American & nbsp; have made the most of home advantage, choosing the materials most & ugrave; appropriate and drawing lines pi & ugrave; suitable to better address the 1,135 meters that make up the circuit at the foot of Mount Van Hoevenberg. & nbsp; The great knowledge of the track of the state of New York and the 'just as great international experience played undoubtedly in favor of Erin Hamlin that the day today & egrave; It was virtually inaviccinabile for the rest of the competition. & nbsp;
The twenty-nine of Remsen grown strongly competitive on this plant, it has ended the practice for today's success already & agrave; during the first descent when he printed & nbsp; the new record of the American gut detaching from 121 thousandths compatriot Emily Sweeney and 208 thousandths of the favorite Natalie Geisenberger. Despite the 'huge gap to the US luge not & egrave; However spared in the final run for signing the best part-time and winning his first career success & nbsp; in the traditional format of the World Cup and the leadership in the overall standings. & nbsp; Previously Hamlin had won the sprint race in Altenberg and in 2009 its this plant had graduated world champion. & nbsp;
The triumphant day American & egrave; It was completed by the second place Emily Sweeney & nbsp; able at this time to maintain focus and play two rounds perfect, and the twenty-Summer Britcher talented to climb in the final the German Geisenberger giving the United States the first hat-trick in the history of the sport. Both Sweeney for Britcher arrive before the large home crowd their best placing in his career, both athletes so far had never step on the podium in the World Cup.
Also in the US House should be noted also the seventh of Raychel Germaine a very positive result for un''atleta who made his debut in the World Cup a week ago at Igls.
If the US can smile, the German team & nbsp; on the other hand comes out of this first meeting the US a bit '' with broken bones. The Wunderteam & nbsp; used to rule the roost in every track, quest''oggi must settle for fourth Natalie Geisenberger of only non-American in the race, able to fight for a place on the podium. The dominator of the last two seasons had finished third the first part, but not downhill nell''ultima & egrave; He failed to give their best in the boost phase closing at the foot of the podium at just 19 milliseconds from the third place. & nbsp;
The other expected stars of Germany & nbsp; got even worse, with Tatjana Huefner and Dajana Eitberger which are placed respectively in eighth and ninth. A debacle pi & ugrave; unique setting for the team led by Norbert Loch since it was from 2 December 1993 the German team with all the big road not least was placing its own representative on the podium in a World Cup race. Un''indicazione decidedly not reassuring in view of the next two seasonal commitments that will be held in Park City and Calgary, two tracks that traditionally have not brought good fortune to the Teutonic. & Nbsp;
Race two faces the 'blue Sandra Robatscher. The 'blue had in fact played a good first round, closing all''undicesimo place just 20 thousandths of the top-ten. In the second run for & ograve; the young South Tyrolean has committed a large barb that 'has relegated to the nineteenth place. Sixteenth place for Andrea Voetter.
The next round of the women's circuit maximum Luge & egrave; scheduled in seven days on the track at Park City.
