Patrick Pigneter celebrates his 9th overall World Cup victory in the single-seater

Pigneter also proved his strength today at the finale in Vatra Dornei, where a bit of luck was needed to win due to the extremely soft slope and the shortening of the program to just one race. The Völser won the doubles competition with Florian Clara, which started at half past eight in the morning due to the weather. It was her 29th World Cup victory. “Today it was important to get a good run with feeling, it was almost artistic,” Clara commented on the success. “We knew what the weather was like, it was the same for everyone. We've already seen in training that our overall package with the material coordination is right and in today's race we felt from the top that things were going well." Even after six victories in the overall World Cup, Florian Clara is still fully motivated: "It's still fun , there is always something new to work on. We will train fully again in the summer and if we stay healthy, we will be there again.” In the Russian duel, Aleksandr Egorov/Petr Popov confirmed their training performance and sealed their second place not only in the race but also in the overall World Cup, 40 points ahead of their teammates Pavel Porshnev, Ivan Lazarev. The Austrian brothers Christian and Andreas Schopf came third today.

Evelin Lanthaler defeats Ekatharina Lavrentjeva for the second time

“I could get used to it,” laughed Evelin Lanthaler from Moos in Passeier, who was now at the top of the victory podium for the second time in a row, after Olang. “I was more nervous before the start today than ever before. Not because of the possible victory today, but because of second place in the overall World Cup.” She confidently secured both and once again relegated the series winner from Russia Ekatharina Lavrentjeva to second place. The Russian was able to console herself with her eleventh overall World Cup victory. It remains to be seen whether it is motivation enough for her to continue her career that her winning streak ended exactly before her 50th World Cup victory. She has been thinking about ending her career for several years, but a decision is still pending. Third place in today's race was taken by Greta Pinggera from Vinschger, who has now established herself in the ranks of contenders for victory.

In the men's category, Tyrolean Thomas Kammerlander celebrated his fourth World Cup victory, the second of the current season. Kammerlander finished five of six races on the podium this year. In the overall World Cup he finished second only 45 points behind Patrick Pigneter. Second place today was enough for the Völser to confidently secure his ninth overall World Cup victory. Pigneter knows where his strength lies: “I am the most consistent, no matter the conditions, whether soft or hard, I can cope anywhere.” Third place went to Florian Breitenberger from Ultimo, who came fourth in the overall World Cup behind the Austrian Michael Scheikl.

The team competition will take place tomorrow, Wednesday. Start time is also 8:30 a.m.
