Strong South Tyrolean tobogganers at the Nations Cup in Igls

In the women's category, Andrea Vötter from Völs even secured victory in the Nations Cup ahead of the German Jessica Tiebel and the Latvian Ulla Zirne. But Sandra Robatscher (6th) and the young bobsleighers Nina Zöggeler (9th) and Verena Hofer (12th) also made it to one of the 52 places in the World Cup starting field out of 12 starters.

World Cup debut for Nina Zöggeler The 16-year-old daughter of team boss Armin Zöggeler left behind, among others, the sprint runner-up world champion Martina Kocher from Switzerland.

Curious detail on the side: In addition to Nina Zöggeler, the Russian Viktoria Demtschenko and the North Tyrolean Hannah Prock also qualified for the World Cup race through the Nations Cup - to the delight of their fathers Albert Demtschenko, Markus Prock and Armin Zöggeler, who were among the best tobogganers in the world for years.

Three South Tyrolean men in the top 7 In the men's race, the South Tyroleans also fought for the maximum number of starting places for the World Cup race in the Nations Cup. Kevin Fischlerer in third, Emanuel Rieder in fourth and Theo Gruber in seventh achieved the target with relative ease.

A total of 57 starters fought for 17 places in the World Cup race. The Russian Stepan Fedorov was fastest ahead of the Austrian Nico Gleirscher. The young Latzfonser Leon Felderer, who started out of competition, came in a good 24th place.

Even before the Nations Cup, Dominik Filehner from Merans was already qualified for the World Cup race. Just like the duos Oberstolz/Gruber and Rieder/Rastner in the double seaters.

Surprise for double seaters In the Nations Cup race for the doubles, the contribution of the South Tyroleans was more modest and also contained a small surprise: In the internal qualification, Gruber/Kainzwaldner had fought for the right to compete for the only World Cup starting place for Italy and also achieved this with 14th place achieved in the Nations Cup. However, the young Nagler/Malleier were four places better, but will have to watch the World Cup race on Saturday.

The fastest in the Nations Cup double-seater race were the Austrian hosts Penz/Fischler ahead of the Russians Bogdanov/Medvedev and the Latvians Putins/Marcinkevics.
