World Cup final: showdown between Kammerlander and Gruber

The 2018/19 season couldn't be more exciting, from the start of the World Cup in Kühtai (AUT) Thomas Kammerlander and Alex Gruber are in a neck-and-neck race for the lead in the World Cup standings. Both athletes each have 3 wins this season, Gruber won in Kühtai, Moscow II (RUS) and Deutschnofen (ITA), Kammerlander won the World Cups in Obdach-Winterleiten (AUT), Moscow I and Vatra Dornei (ROU). Before the big World Cup final in Umhausen, Kammerlander leads Gruber by 10 points in the overall standings. This means that world champion Alex Gruber and Thomas Kammerlander, the overall winner of the last two seasons, have to fully attack in Umhausen, because only those who are ahead in the finale will win the crystal ball. There would be a tie in points if Gruber came third in Umhausen and Kammerlander fourth, then both would have the same number of wins, second, third and fourth places - in this case the better result in the final would be decisive and Gruber would be the overall winner. That's the theory, in practice it will probably be different, because Kammerlander was able to win the last three races on his 955 m long home track.

Lanthaler is chasing Lavrenteva's record Everything has already been decided for the women, Evelin Lanthaler (ITA) was named overall winner in Vatra Dornei with her sixth win of the season, Greta Pinggera (ITA) and Ekaterina Lavrenteva (RUS) are fighting for second place. If Lanthaler also wins in Umhausen, then she will achieve the “Grand Slam” with the World Cup title, overall World Cup and victory in all World Cup races in one season. Most recently, Lavrenteva won all World Cup races of the season in 2 and 2012. 10. Ball for Pigneter/Clara In the doubles, Patrick Pigneter/Florian Clara (ITA) secured their 10th overall victory in Vatra Dornei, the world champions go into the final with a 120 point lead over Aleksandr Egorov/Petr Popov (RUS).
