Vatra Dornei (ck) - As many other places where it should be winter, the skiing resort Vatra Dornei (ROU) also faces spring like temperature. But it was only the rain which eventually proved to be a too big a challenge for the organizers and the track workers. However, in spite of the warm and wet conditions one training run for all three disciplines could be held today, Monday. The qualification runs which had been scheduled for the afternoon, had to be canceled, though. The new schedule which has been agreed upon now has one competition run in each discipline for tomorrow, Tuesday, beginning early at 8.30 in the morning. The doubles are going to start, followed by women and finally men. If the track should not last for all runs, there is still Wednesday as an extra day. In today’s training all favorites could be found at top positions regardless the difficult conditions. Evelin Lanthaler (ITA) finished ahead of Ekatharina Laventjeva (RUS) and Tina Unterberger (AUT). Both Austrians, Michael Scheikl and Thomas Kammerlander, who are fighting for the second position in the overall world cup ranking placed themselves at the top of the result list, ahead of Patrick Pigneter (ITA), who finished third, followed by Anton Blasbichler (ITA) and Florian Breitenberger (ITA). In the doubles’ training Patrick Pigneter/Florian Clara (ITA) upset the rest of the field, runner up were Christoph Regensburger/Dominik Holzknecht. In the Russian duel Aleksandr Egorov/Petr Popov showed the better performance this time and finished third, whereas their counterparts Pavel Porshnev/Ivan Lazarev had to settle for the sixth rank. In the one run for each discipline scheduled for tomorrow all participant will get to race, but only the top four men, three women and two doubles for each nation will be ranked in the world cup. The remaining athletes will be ranked in the nation’s cup which due to the track conditions cannot be held as a separate race.
