Two gold medals and one silver medal for Italy on the first day of the World Luge Championships on natural slope, which will end on Sunday in Umhausen, Austria, with the men's singles races and the team trial, where the blues are very favorite.
Evelin Lanthaler once again confirms his dominance in the single female; the South Tyrolean champion is simply impregnable for anyone, so much so that the second classified, the Russian Ekaterina Lavrenteva, is delayed by 1 ”24. A huge amount. Bronze medal for the Austrian Tina Unterberger, with 2 "21 behind, down from the podium instead the other blue Daniela Mittermair, fourth at 2" 82 and Greta Pinggera, fifth at 2 "84 after always finishing behind Lanthaler in the triumphal year of the World Cup. Seventh place instead for Nadine Staffler.
Italian success also in the double, and in this case the double also arrived: another gold goes to enrich the already immense palmares of Patrick Pigneter and Florian Clara, first ahead of Patrick and Matthias Lambacher, trailing by 90 cents, with the Austrians Regensburger / Holzknecht to win the bronze medal.

Scheib rientra in Europa dopo 29 giorni tra Argentina e Cile: Un lavoro molto buono. Sarà lei la favorita a Soelden
La detentrice della Coppa del Mondo di gigante, che proprio dall'opening sul Rettenbach ha iniziato a costruire lo scorso anno quel trionfo, ha diviso a metà il lavoro tra focus sulla sua disciplina a Ushuaia e poi velocità sulle nevi cilene pensando al super-g. Rifinitura a Pitztal e poi direttamente a Soelden, il set-up finale lo definiremo in quel momento.
