Rieder/Rastner celebrate their first World Cup victory

Rieder/Rastner (Meransen/Lüsen) showed an outstanding performance in the Igls ice track and were already in first place after the first round, ahead of the German duo Toni Eggert and Sascha Benecken. In the second run, 29-year-old Rieder and 27-year-old Rastner once again presented themselves confidently and secured victory with the second-best running time. The Sics brothers from Latvia, Andris and Juris, took second place, 0,081 seconds behind. The Austrian duo Thomas Steu and Lorenz Koller landed in 3rd place (+0,084 seconds). Eggert and Benecken fell back to 5th place. For Rieder/Rastner it was their first World Cup victory ever - and that was a week before the World Championships in Königssee. The South Tyrolean duo had previously made it onto the podium four times in the World Cup. Emanuel Rieder and Simon Kainzwaldner ended up in 6th place. Ivan Nagler and Fabian Malleier took 7th place. Constant performance South Tyrol's tobogganers have shown impressive consistency so far this World Cup season: In the 8 races plus 2 sprints, the 3 duos achieved a remarkable 26 top 10 places - but apart from today's victory, South Tyrol's tobogganers only made it onto the podium once (Rieder/ Rastner 3rd in the sprint in November – also back then in Igls). So far, at least one South Tyrolean duo has been in the top 10 in every race, usually all 3. The results at a glance Pos Name Country Time 1.
