The twenty-three of Chusovoy quest''oggi & egrave; finally managed to find the enamel of a time, confirm on the good show in the previous day during the Nations Cup qualifying. The Russian thanks to an extraordinary 47 590 new record dell''impianto Norwegian established during the first descent, he immediately put the record straight by closing the first portion to the command albeit by a margin of just 60 thousandths ahead of Natalie Geisenberger. With a gap cos & Igrave; limited given the previous one would have expected a psychological breakdown by Ivanova athlete genius and recklessness of this discipline, however the 'epilogue & egrave; tutt''altro that was granted.
Geisenberger authentic dominatrix of the last three seasons, including the current one, tried to attack drawing for three quarters of the race of perfect trajectories that were bringing to rip the track record established by Ivanova in the previous run. When all seemed ready to applaud the 'yet another great performance of the Bavarian happening' imponderable.
Geisenberger came out too strong a curve left, slamming hard against the next left bank of the basin in the stretch pi & ugrave; Fast dell''impianto Scandinavian ice leaving the beauty of 8/10, leaving the purposes of recovery and sinking into fifth position.
Probably without the 'mistake of German, Ivanova would not have been able to defend its leadership as the penultimate intermediate the Teutonic was ahead of the 45 milliseconds, but the races you know you won and lost at the finish line and this'' Today the stopwatch has given reason to Russian. For twenty-three of Chusovoy that this season had never gone beyond the ninth place, this is the third successful career breaking a fast of victories that lasted from December 15, 2012 when it was imposed in Sigulda. The triumph today dar & agrave; great moral to the Russian luger in a fortnight could be part of the rose of the main suspects for a medal at the World Championships in Sigulda that she always has a special feeling with the track Baltic.
The podium & egrave; was completed by Canadian Alex Gough off by more than 4/10 of the winner and the German Dajana Eitberger that continues the streak of four consecutive podiums obtained exclusively nell''anno Solar 2015.
Excellent fourth place for Ekaterina Baturina that after seven days of its best performances of his career, he manages to improve his personal best in a competition of the World Cup. Completing the top ten Anke Wischnewski sixth, seventh Tatjana Huefner, Kimberley McRae eighth, ninth and Ekaterina Katnikova Arianne Jones tenth, with the two German heavily penalized by a bad first descent that has seen them close respectively in ninth place and all''undicesimo partial .
The two young men in the blue race Robatscher Sandra and Andrea Voetter have closed in twelfth and fifteenth position. Results that looking at only the final ranking may seem rather anonymous but instead go intepretati positively. Robatscher in particular has played un''eccellente first descent that 'led her to finish the initial run even in sixth place overall. In the final round the nineteen bronze medal at the recent world junior has committed some trimming too that 'pushed her out of the top ten. Given the young age & agrave; the two girls we can & ograve; stand this inconsistency between a descent and the 'other, virt & ugrave; that can & ograve; only be improved by gaining experience in the next few seasons.
The next round of the Luge World Cup women & egrave; scheduled in three weeks at Altenberg in Germany where disputer & agrave; well a Sprint Race. Meanwhile, the protagonists of the sport will be engaged in half & agrave; February at the World Championships in Sigulda.
