On the trail of the two double'' Hochsauerland will undoubtedly be the most anticipated of those Wendl-Artl and Eggert-Benecken, which for the first time will arrive at the starting line of a race of the World Cup paired at the top of the overall standings.
After the test Igls rose sharply the prices of the German duo younger, which in this start to the season has been very competitive, especially in the starting phase, to the point of touching the success in the race in Lillehammer.
Tobias Wendl and Tobias Artl will then pull out of the hat the whole class that allowed him to dominate the scene last year, and most of all will be called to avoid the disastrous performance of last year which saw them close only in eighth place in Winterberg.
The two associations Germans in the first two seasonal events have always been a part of the race, leaving only the main rivals fight for the third step of the podium. In Winterberg is unlikely to be reversed this trend, even though the last season was to win the Austrian Linger-Linger, only double that broke the duopoly in Teutonic World Cup.
It will be the twice Olympic champions and blues Christian Oberstolz and Patrick Gruber possible troublemaker of the two representatives of Germany. The two have a great tradition in South Tyrol on the track'' s Hochsauerland. Gut on this fact, Oberstolz-Gruber won 4 victories, and in the last six editions have never failed'' s appointment with the podium.
Possible outsiders should be considered the Austrians Penz-Fischler third last weekend, and the young blue double consisting of Patrick Ludwig Rieder and Rastner. Italians are called upon to repeat the extraordinary in Winterberg first start in Igls, which did set a new record of thrust, which could allow the association to improve the tricolor'' excellent fourth place a year ago.
It will be the Nations Cup on Friday to decide whether'' Italy will deploy a third double at the start of the event to the World Cup. Hans Peter Fischnaller and Patrick Schwienbacher following the disappointing performance of the first two races of the season left the group responsible and therefore to participate in'' Saturday's event will seize an affordable placing in the top ten in the qualification test.
The Bobbahn Winterberg has been included in the calendar of the World Cup luge from the third edition of the maximum circuit of the slides. The first race in March 1979 gave West Germany a shotgun. The winner was Swarm Hans Brandner and Balthasar that preceded his countrymen Schettel-Pilz and Austrians Fluckinger-Schrott.
Are the Germans Krausse-Behrendt twice as winning on the track'' s Hochsauerland. The association boasts 5 Teutonic statements follow in this particular ranking blues Oberstolz-Gruber (4) and the Germans Leitner-Resch (3).
