Calgary: Kevin Fischler celebrates Junior World Cup victory

Filehner, in fifth place after the first run, struck particularly hard in the second run and took the lead with a confident drive. The young South Tyrolean relegated the German Florian Berkes (+0,047 seconds) and the Russian Maxim Aravin (+0,136) to second and third place. Fischler's teammate Emanuel Rieder also placed in the top ten. He finished sixth, 0,597 seconds behind.

The “Azzurri” also climbed onto the podium in the team competition, where Sandra Robatscher, Kevin Fischnelller and the duo Florian Gruber/Simon Kainzwaldner were sent into the race. Robatscher set a strong lead with the fastest time among the women, Kevin Fiwickeler was the second fastest among the men and the duo finished fourth. In the end, the four South Tyroleans finished second behind Germany. The gap was 0,230 seconds. Third place went to Team USA.

Sandra Robatscher, on the other hand, missed the podium in the women's race by almost two thousandths, while Germany celebrated a triple victory. Nathalie Burkhardt won in 1:28,980 ahead of her compatriots Caroline Freiin von Schleinitz and Angelique Fleischer. The race didn't go as planned for Andrea Vötter; she had to settle for 15th place in the end.

Victory in the doubles also went to Germany. The junior world champions Tim Brendel and Florian Funk also triumphed in Calgary and won ahead of the two Russian duos Jury Kalinin/Sergey Balyaev and Vacheclav Maltsev/Oleg Faskhudtinov. Meanwhile, Florian Gruber and Simon Kainzwaldner ended up in sixth place, 0,508 seconds behind.

Next week the fourth stage of the Junior World Cup will take place in Oberhof in Germany.
