The team consists of the three winners of the Teutonic races "traditional" of the weekend, or Natalie Geisenberger, Felix Loch and Eggert-Benecken, dominated as expected the team competition. The three runners Germans marked the best lap times the references in two of the three villages in the program, pulling more than half a second Austria and Russia. The success of today allows Germany to increase to nearly 45 victories in this race format, an incredible number when you consider that to date have been staged 60 competitions of this type.
In second position as previously mentioned you & egrave; placed the 'Austria, driven by an extraordinary Reinhard Egger and dall''ottima departure of Birgit Platzer that allowed the white-red back on the podium after pi & ugrave; a year of 'absence. Third place went to Russia that captures the second consecutive podium after the one won a week ago in Oberhof, while fourth & egrave; junta Latvia detached only 66 milliseconds from the top-three.
The blue team consists Voetter Andrea, Kevin Fischnaller and Rieder-Rastner you & egrave; placed fifth lamenting a gap of more than a second and two tenths from Germany, but & egrave; especially the delay in the third step of the podium to give cause for some concern, 6/10 from Russia are a little '' too much to hope for a medal at the World Championships in Sigulda.
Disappointing performance for the United States that up to two thirds of the race were in full for second place, but a mistake in the last lap by Mortensen-Terdiman has plunged the US in sixth.
The next round of the World Cup Team & egrave; scheduled for two weeks in Lillehammer where Germany could gi & agrave; raise to heaven the Crystal Ball with a call for 'advance.
