Passeiertal: The voices after the dress rehearsal

Training started at 10.15:75 a.m. 25 minutes late. On Thursday night it had snowed around 55,12 centimeters in the lower Passeier Valley and so the first thing to do was to clear the snow masses from the railway. In the men's single-seaters, Thomas Kammerlander from Ötztal achieved the fastest time in both training runs. For the reigning overall World Cup winner, who had to miss the World Cup opener in Winterleiten due to illness, the stopwatch stopped after 55,31 seconds or 55,72 seconds. World champion Alex Gruber had two almost identical runs – at least in terms of time. The Villandro driver had two final times of 55,73 and 55,75 seconds. With Patrick Pigneter (Völs/55,87) and World Cup leader Michael Scheikl (Austria/56), two other tobogganers stayed under the XNUMX-second mark in one of the two training runs. This is what Alex Gruber says after training: As expected, Evelin Lanthaler left her mark on the women's two training sessions. The local hero, who could have secured her World Cup victories number 29 and 30 at her home races, achieved the fastest time of 56,69 seconds. The closest thing to the four-time overall World Cup winner and reigning world champion was her teammate Greta Pinggera, who achieved a time of 57,68 seconds in the second training run. The Austrians Tina Unterberger and Michelle Diepold, the Russian Ekaterina Lavrenteva, and Nadine Staffler and Daniela Mittermair, two other South Tyroleans from the strong Italian team, are in close contact. This is what Evelin Lanthaler and Greta Pinggera say after training: In the doubles, Patrick Pigneter/Florian Clara (Völs/Campill) achieved the best training time. The team, which won the overall World Cup eleven times and is also in the lead this year, completed the Bergkristall track in 59,32 seconds. But they face strong competition from the Austrians Fabian Achenrainer/Simon Achenrainer (59,43) and Christoph Regensburger/Dominik Holzknecht (59,70). The first day of racing on Friday begins at 9 a.m. with the first round of the men's single-seaters. The first decision will be made at 11 a.m. for the men's single-seaters, and an hour later the winner of the women's race will be announced. The doubles final is scheduled for 14 p.m. There will be a total of four more decisions on Saturday and Sunday. The races will take place behind closed doors, but will be streamed live this link transfer.
