Lanthaler is in a class of his own

Due to the thaw of the past few days, the fifth World Cup stage in Upper Styria was held in just one run instead of the usual two runs. However, that didn't change the outcome of the race: Lanthaler won in 1.10,49:0,29 minutes ahead of her teammate Greta Pinggera (+1,13 seconds). The Austrian Riccarda Ruetz came third (+ 500). In the overall standings, Lanthaler, who has won all races so far, leads with 380 points ahead of Pinggera (345 points) and Lisa Walch (XNUMX points), who had to settle for sixth place in Mariazell.

“I can’t say whether I will win all seven World Cups this season. In any case, I want to try it. The track in Moscow suits me, I have already celebrated some great successes there,” Lanthaler is already looking ahead to the upcoming season finale. Gruber on the podium For the men, local hero Michael Scheikl, who comes from Kindberg, just a few kilometers away, took advantage of the moment and set the best time on the Sigmundsberg track in 1.09,08:0,02 minutes. Close behind was European champion Alex Gruber in second place, just 2009 seconds ahead of third-placed Thomas Kammerlander (Austria). For Scheikl it is the first win of the season, the seventh win overall. Curious detail: The Styrian celebrated his first World Cup victory in January 32 in Mariazell. In the last four World Cups in Styria (Winterleiten and Mariazell), the winner was always Michael Scheikl; the XNUMX-year-old won six of his seven victories in Styria.

In the overall standings, Gruber has taken over the World Cup leader's jersey from Kammerlander (430 points) with 425 points, while Scheikl is moving closer to the leading duo with 380 points. Before the season finale with the double World Cup in Moscow, Gruber leads the World Cup standings alone for the first time this winter, after he and Kammerlander were already tied in the lead after the second race.
