Loch outclasses the competition, South Tyroleans sled behind

The 31-year-old also won the World Cup in Oberhof on Saturday and celebrated his seventh victory in the seventh individual race of the winter. “I can’t remember it ever going like this in one go,” said Loch on ARD. Once again it was a very clear success: the lead over the second-placed Austrian Jonas Müller was around two and a half tenths of a second after two runs. The following competitors were only a few hundredths apart. Olympic champion David Gleirscher (Austria) came third. Loch's first victory in the overall World Cup since 2018 can only be prevented theoretically. In just two weeks the World Cup will take place on Loch's home track at Königssee, anything other than a victory for the six-time champion would be a big surprise. Loch is undefeated in the normal World Cup format this winter. The only thing he didn't win was the Winterberg sprint, which only has one shortened run. After extremely fluctuating performances since around 2016, this season Loch is for the first time ever returning to the dominance of previous years - or even exceeding it. Fischlers are behind The South Tyroleans had nothing to do with the decision: Dominik Fischnelller didn't really get up to speed in the first run and ended up in 10th place, one place behind his cousin Kevin Fischnelller. Lukas and Alex Gufler are ranked 25th and 32nd.
