The phenomenon Felix Loch wins in Oberhof and made up to four wins in the season, counting the sprint race in Igls. The superiority & agrave; Loch against opponents & egrave; almost embarrassing. In the first heat Andi Langenhan had managed to remain in contact with the Olympic and world champion in office, finishing in second place at 3 cents from Loch, which had obtained the new track record. In the second heat Langenhan completed its descent equaling the track record set by Loch during the first run and got the first temporary position when there was only the descent of the Olympic champion to determine the final positions of the race. Loch in the first part of his trial was a handful of cents behind Langenhan, but between the curve and the curve 8 10 found trajectories amazing that allowed him to show up at the entrance of kreisel final with 99 cents ahead of the interim leader of the standings and a speed & agrave; unattainable for anyone else. The 211 thousandths of posting that after the race has trimmed Loch Langenhan to leave little doubt as to who the pi & ugrave; strong circuit.
Less than a month ago, just about this basin, Langenhan had won the national title German & nbsp; trimming of large gaps in Palik and Von Schleinitz, who were respectively ranked second and third in that race. Loch in that situation had arrived only fourth. In even thirty days before the situation & egrave; radically changed. This for the Bavarian & egrave; the fifth consecutive win in Oberhof. Statistics broken today in the men's single & egrave; un''altra: after eight seasons, a round of the men's single in Oberhof (including race valid for the World Championships in 2008) does not have a German podium.
On the step pi & ugrave; the bottom of the podium & egrave; rose fact the American Chris Mazdzer, the fourth consecutive podium after the two third places in Calgary and Koenigssee and victory in the sprint race of Calgary. His detachment from Loch & egrave; however huge, for the accuracy 638 thousandths.
We open the section Italy: the best blue & egrave; was Kevin Fischnaller, seventeenth, followed by Emanuel Rieder and David Mair, who finished respectively in eighteenth and nineteenth position. Dominik Fischnaller, however, concluded in twenty-seventh position a first heat with several errors, the pi & ugrave; conspicuous of which & egrave; been on the straight that places on kreisel final, the usual point that has claimed so many victims again this morning in the doubles event. In the second race, however, the twenty-one policeman Rio Pusteria & egrave; even overturned. Despite being able to get back on the sled and has regularly finished their race, Fischnaller finished in thirty-first and last position his trial. The young athlete from South Tyrol was a good start this season's World Cup with two second places and a third place in the first three races, but in the four subsequent tests nell''ordine got a sixth, a seventh, a thirteenth and a thirty-first , and after today's race & egrave; been overtaken in the standings by both Langenhan that Mazdzer.
The hope of all the Italian fans & egrave; that the Azzurri can do well & nbsp; in the next two races of the World Cup to be played in Winterberg and Lillehammer, two casings pi & ugrave; congenial to the characteristics of the Italian athletes than in Oberhof. Recall that just in the resort & agrave; Norwegian Dominik Fischnaller got his only victory in single so far in the world circuit maximum sledding on 17/11/2013. & Nbsp; & nbsp;
