Loch takes his 8th win of the season and secures the overall World Cup

Record world champion Loch also won the eighth race of the season, meaning the crystal ball can no longer be taken away from him with two races to go. Next weekend there will be the World Championships on his home track at Königssee. On Saturday in Igls, Loch relegated former world champion Semen Pawlitschenko to second place by six thousandths of a second. After the first run, the Russian was ahead by 2 thousandths, then Loch followed up with a track record. Third came the German Johannes Ludwig, who was previously the only one who still had a theoretical chance of overtaking Loch in the overall standings. Man of records Loch has been in impressive form since the end of November: 8 victories in 8 World Cups are a new record for men. Overall, Loch took 9 wins in 10 races this winter. Loch suffered his only “defeat” shortly before Christmas in the sprint in Winterberg. The sprint competition, where the top 15 of the traditional race compete in just one run, is not considered a full World Cup race. By the way, back in Winterberg, Dominik Filehner was ahead. As the best Azzurro, the 27-year-old from Meransen didn't get past 6th place this time. His cousin Kevin Fischler came in 7th place. Ludwig Rieder and Patrick Rastner celebrated their first World Cup victory in doubles (SportNews reported) . The results at a glance Pos Name Country Time 1. Felix Loch GER 1.39,771 Min 2.
