This is what the natural track tobogganists say before the World Cup in Passeier

Sports director Armin Zöggeler has called together the A and B squads of natural track luge athletes for a training camp in the Passeier Valley. Stefan Federer, Patrick Pigneter, Alex Gruber, Mathias Troger, Matthias Lambacher, Patrick Lambacher, Maximilian Gräber, Florian Clara, Greta Pinggera, Nadine Staffler, Lea Stangl, Evelin Lanthaler and Daniela Mittermair are in action on the Bergkristallbahn, where they take part in the completed up to four rides on both training days. “The railway is in excellent condition. The thermometer shows minus 10 degrees Celsius, so it's quite chilly, but perfect for training. Compliments to railway boss Hubert Folie, who really did a great job. The anticipation for the home World Cup is of course huge, even though unfortunately no fans are allowed to be there. The races will be broadcast live. My worst opponent next week will definitely be Greta (Pinggera), but you should never forget Tina Unterberger and Ekaterina Lavrentjeva either. They can all be very fast on this track,” said a brilliant Evelin Lanthaler, who is coming to the home World Cup in Passeiertal as the overall World Cup leader. Every centimeter counts Their teammates Alex Gruber and Patrick Pigneter also can hardly wait for the big showdown on the Bergkristallbahn next week. “The beard is already slightly frozen, but that means it's nice and cold and the track is really hard and fast. Now it’s time to find the right coordination of the material so that we can give full throttle in the races next week,” smiled world champion Gruber. “I expect that we will see races with very close time gaps next week. Because that’s usually the case here in the Passeier Valley. “Alex Gruber, Thomas Kammerlander and Michael Scheikl will most likely be my strongest competitors,” Pigneter analyzed. The Völser is also at the start in the double-seater with Florian Clara, where the successful duo won the first two races of the season in Winterleiten. The World Cup in the Passeier Valley begins on Thursday, January 14th with a training day. The first decisions will take place on Friday, January 15th, namely for the men's singles (final from 11 a.m.), the women's (from 12 p.m.) and the doubles (from 14 p.m.). Four more decisions are due on Saturday and Sunday.
