The two "Bayern-Express" had hardly any rivals by dominating the first top-meter both races scheduled, setting by far the best lap times of day references. The two-time world champions have made a difference in the central stretch of the track using the Russian then in the final part of the phenomenal materials skillfully prepared by Georg Hackl, to fly towards the conquest of the sixth victory of the season, the third consecutive in Sochi (2 in Cup World and one in the Olympics).
With this success the Olympic champions tie the number of triumphs seasonal rivals Eggert-Benecken, but fail to operate overtaking in the overall standings, as the duo of Thuringia despite the disappointing seventh place today lifts the World Cup for just 16 points. Decisive for the final result & egrave; was the 'outcome's Last sprint race of the season, held a week ago in Altenberg, where Toni Eggert and Sascha Benecken preceded on the podium Latvians Sics-Sics and the same Wendl-Artl ensuring a safety margin of 70 lengths.

Fourth place with a little '' regret for the Blues Christian Oberstolz and Patrick Gruber who lack the 'appointment with the podium for just 6 thousandths. The veterans of South Tyrol sixth after the first run have played a decent second run that brought them close to the positions of the standings. To be fair the association Italian pi & ugrave; that its own merits has benefited dell''Harakiri of victimizing the two crews Russians Yuzhakov-Prokhorov (sixth) and especially Bogdanov-Medvedev (second round), that during the second descent have literally thrown away a great chance to win the first podium of his career.
Oberstolz-Gruber unique partnership blue at the start in Sochi, may have played quest''oggi the 'last race of his career, to them that despite the enormous difficulties & agrave; who is going through the Italian luge have still got all''Italia the bronze medal at the recent World Championships in Sigulda.
