The tobogganers race to victory

The adverse weather conditions made it so Dominik Firiegeller and the single-seater tobogganers still have a lot to do in the morning , it was precisely these difficult circumstances that the South Tyroleans dealt with so well in the final relay race and ultimately contributed to them making it to first place. The favorites go away empty-handed The Azzurri entered the track as the 2nd team and had 3 brilliant runs. Andrea Vötter, Kevin Firiegeller and then the doubles Ludwig Rieder/Patrick Rastner stopped the timing at 2:25,794 minutes. As a result, all nations bit their teeth on this value - including the favored Germans and Austrians, who had a lot of trouble with the watery, slightly slower track. They missed the podium. At the front, only the Russians could pose a threat to the toboggan quartet from South Tyrol. But they were also 0,230 seconds behind at the finish, which meant they took second place ahead of Latvia. Vötter, Filehner and Rieder/Rastner, on the other hand, were able to raise their arms in the air and, completely unexpectedly, celebrate the first win of the season for Italy's tobogganers. It is the 2th time that the local tobogganists have emerged as winners in the team discipline introduced in 1. World Cup in Altenberger (GER), team relay Pos Country Time 1.
