World Cup: No medals for the South Tyroleans in the sprint

In the sprint, the decision is not made in two runs as usual, but in just one run. The timing begins with a flying start about 100 meters after the launch ramp. Dominik Filehner recorded the best result in the men's single-seater. The man from Meranser ended up in 5th place on Friday. His cousin Kevin took 8th place. The Austrian brothers Nico and David Gleirscher took gold and bronze, with the Russian Semen Pavlichenko finishing in between. World Cup dominator Felix Loch had to settle for fourth place on his home track. The Germans won the doubles and women's competitions In the doubles, Tobias Wendl/Tobias Arlt (Germany) became sprint world champions for the third time. Bayern, of all teams, who had barely had any momentum so far this season, won ahead of the Latvian brothers Andris and Juris Sics and their long-term rivals Toni Eggert/Sascha Benecken (Germany). The two South Tyrolean duos from Friday, Emanuel Rieder/Simon Kainzwaldner and Ivan Nagler/Fabian Malleier, took 7th and 10th place respectively. Andrea Vötter, on the other hand, experienced a moment of shock when she touched the boards while driving and almost fell. As a result, the woman from Völs completely lost the pace and finished in 15th place. At the top there was a German quadruple victory - led by Julia Taubitz. Still enough chances for the South Tyroleans The classic double-seater races for men (on Saturdays) and women (on Sundays) take place at the weekend. The World Championships conclude on Sunday afternoon with the team relay. World Cup at Königssee: The results in the sprint Herren: Pos Name Country Time 1. Nico Gleirscher TUE 38,375 seconds 2.
