Only thousandths were missing: Vötter missed his first podium

Vötter made two consistent, error-free runs on the 1988 Olympic track. After fifth place at halftime, she was on course for the podium for a long time in the decision, but in the end she was 68 thousandths of a second behind the third-placed Canadian Kimberley McRae. The 23-year-old South Tyrolean was at least able to be happy about her third top ten placement in the third race.

The vet Sandra Robatscher took 20th place after the fifth best time in the second run.

German premiere victory First place went to young hopeful Julia Taubitz, who achieved her first World Cup success and continued the triumph of the German lugers. After three second places in a row, the 22-year-old beat Olympic champion Natalie Geisenberger (+0,104 seconds), who had been unbeaten so far this season, for the first time.

In the overall World Cup, Geisenberger defended her lead over Taubitz. Vötter is the first non-German to follow in fourth place. No chance in the team relay In the final team competition, Vötter and the other South Tyroleans had nothing to gain on Saturday evening. Together with Kevin Filehner and the double-seater duo Rieder/Rastner, she had to make do with seventh place. The victory went to the favored team from Germany.
