A Novouralsk in Russia in the first seven races of the season'' s Italy opened the race weekend with a third place in doubles. The South Tyrolean Pigneter Patrick and Florian Clara rulers of the past season were not affected by the excellent first descent that has effectively excluded from the struggle for the victory. Italians in fact, halfway through the race in fifth position were more than two seconds behind the provisional leader. In the final round Pigneter-Clara from large samples which have pulled out everything they had and thanks to the best time to run climbed back up to the third step of the podium.
At the top of the rankings, there has been a wonderful duel between the Austrians Schopf-Schopf and the hosts Egorov-Popov, which was resolved in favor of the red and white for just a hundredth of a second. '' C'' is a bit of a disappointment for the fifth-place Porshnev Lazarev very great players on this track two seasons ago.

The superstar'' s Alpe di Siusi / Seiser Alm was the author of the best time in the heats in the final run that allowed him to precede the 25 cents'' Austrian Michael Scheikl.

The long and expensive trip to the Russian contingent has limited the number of blue that in spite of the other national occurred at the start with a training rather limited. The other members of the Italian team were hijacked in the concomitant commitment of Europe Cup which was held in neighboring Austria. Nevertheless in Russia have been well the 23 starters in the men's race between which featured four representatives of Turkey and even a Brazilian athlete to demonstrate the fact that the International Federation is doing an excellent job to make this discipline as comprehensive as possible.
