Patrick Pigneter wants to fight back at the “classic” in Umhausen

For Italy, Evelin Lanthaler and Greta Pinggera are set for the World Cup from next weekend, but as is often the case, they will be able to compete for the places behind the favorite Ekatharina Lavrentjeva, who was only rarely beaten in Umhausen.

In the men's race, Patrick Pigneter's incredible winning streak ended last week in the Passeier Valley. He had been unbeaten since February 2011 until Thomas Kammerlander relegated him to second place last Sunday. The Umhausen native celebrated his second World Cup victory and will certainly be one of the closest favorites on his home track next weekend.

When it comes to doubles, there is currently hardly any way around Patrick Pigneter/Florian Clara. They dominate the field and can already make a preliminary decision in the World Cup with another victory, because their eternal rivals Pavel Porshnev/Ivan Lazarev (Russia) are not yet in top form this year.

The training runs will take place on Friday, January 18th from 14 p.m., the qualifying runs for the World Cup will take place on Friday from 17:30 p.m. or on Saturday from 15 p.m., and the competition runs will begin on Saturday at 17:30 p.m.
