The natural track tobogganists are moving to Romania

Vatra Dornei is ready for the World Cup in luge on natural track on January 18th and 19th. Work has been going on on the “Bucovina” track since the beginning of the year and it has been in race-ready condition since the weekend. In contrast to other years, 2020 will be driven on a slightly shortened route; the start has been moved to curve 3. “That’s actually an advantage because the track is quite long. The shortening will make the races more exciting; we expect a running time of around one minute,” explains FIL sports director Andreas Castiglioni.

Excitement in the overall World Cup In the overall World Cup, Thomas Kammerlander (AUT/255 points) leads after three races, ahead of Michael Scheikl (AUT/245), Patrick Pigneter (Völs/225) and Alex Gruber (Villanders/220). In the women's category, Evelin Lanthaler (Passeiertal) holds the maximum of 300 points, followed by Tina Unterberger (AUT/240) and Greta Pinggera (Laas/215). In the doubles ranking, Patrick Pigneter/Florian Clara (ITA) lead with 285 points ahead of the Russians Pavel Porshnev/Ivan Lazarev (240) and Patrick Lambacher/Matthias Lambacher (ITA/215).

Last year there was an Austrian double victory in Vatra Dornei by Thomas Kammerlander and Michael Scheikl, and Evelin Lanthaler won the women's event. In the doubles, victory went to Patrick Pigneter/Florian Clara (ITA).

After the training on Friday, January 17th, the decision in the doubles will follow on Saturday from 12 p.m., and on Sunday the two single-seater runners for women and men will be on the program from 10 a.m.
