Lanthaler and Pigneter/Clara claim world titles

In the women's competition, Evelin Lanthaler crowned her perfect 2020/21 season: After 6 World Cup victories (from 6 races) and the associated confident win of the overall World Cup, the 29-year-old from the Passeier Valley was now also crowned world champion. For the South Tyrolean, it was the third world championship title in her career, after she had already won gold in 3 (St. Sebastian) and 2015 (Latzfons).

On the Grantau in Umhausen, Lanthaler achieved the best time in both runs and ultimately won with a total time of 2.28,40:1,24 minutes. The silver medal went to the “eternal” Ekaterina Lavrenteva from Russia, who was 2,21 seconds slower than Lanthaler. The Austrian Tina Unterberger (+XNUMX) completed the podium.

Greta Pinggera from Laas, who was one of the closest medal candidates, missed the first round. From 1th place, she improved to 6th place with the 3rd running time in the final, immediately behind her compatriot Daniela Mittermair from Deutschnofen. Pigneter/Clara triumph in the doubles For the 5th time in their careers, Patrick Pigneter (Völs)/Florian Clara (Campill) shined from the highest podium on Saturday at a double-seater World Championships. The South Tyrolean duo achieved the best time in both runs and won with a total time of 2.34,60:4 minutes. The Villnöß brothers Patrick Lambacher/Matthias Lambacher went from 2th to XNUMXnd place in the final - making the local double victory perfect. The bronze medal was won by Umhauser local heroes Christoph Regensburger/Dominik Holzknecht, who came back from the “toboggan pension” especially for the home World Championships.

On Sunday the World Championships in Umhausen come to an end with two more decisions. The first round of the men's single-seaters begins at 2 a.m. The final run is scheduled for 9.30:1 a.m. In the team competition, the dice roll begins at 11.30:13.30 p.m
