Basically in this first qualifying they were highlighted mainly two athletes: Tucker West and Emily Sweeney. The twenty year old Ridgefield confirmed again that it has reached an extraordinary feeling with the track of the state of New York, the same as last December allowed him to win everyone's surprise the first race of the World Cup career, & nbsp; dominating also on this occasion the men's competition. West through two starts fast has given the first top-meter a net gap between itself and the rest of the company, trimming a delay of 300 milliseconds to veteran Chris Mazdzer. & Nbsp;
With this feature the sublime 'child prodigy of the movement of stars and stripes & nbsp; is a candidate to play the role of number one favorite for the first of two rounds of the US schedule to be held & agrave; just in Lake Placid in early December. & nbsp; Third position for Taylor Morris & nbsp; far from the first two of the standings, but good to dull in close duel with Aidan Kelly. & nbsp;
Emily Sweeney instead has made its voice in the women's race. The twenty-two of Portland Messas in light of last season due to numerous placings in the top five, led a perfect race despite the time pushing more & ugrave; slower than the main rivals. In the second run Sweeney has also made a small mistake in the process of starting your own toboggan intraversando slightly after the 'last support, but despite this smear the luge original dell''Oregon has closed its test with 259 thousandths ahead of Erin Hamlin. & nbsp;
Third place for the amazing junior Raychel Germaine that has disfigured in his first career comparison with the senior athletes. The twenty year old crossed the line ahead of Roswell veteran Julia Cluckey off by more than three tenths dall''ultimo place of the podium. Disqualified for irregular materials instead the talented Summer Britcher who had finished the first run in the third. With four seats available and with a gi & agrave; assigned by law to Erin Hamlin, and another practically gi & agrave; booked by Emily Sweeney, promises a week in Park City un''avvincente fight three & nbsp; for the last two slots.
Few surprises in double where experts & nbsp; Matt Mortensen and Jayson Terdiman as predictable & nbsp; had no rivals. The two were preceded by more than 400 milliseconds young Justin Krewson and Andrew Sherk & nbsp; very strong in the boost phase, but less effective than others in driving. Third place went to Hyrns-Espinoza.
The next and decisive trails selection of the American team luge will be held & agrave; November 7th on the track of Park City. & nbsp;
