World Cup showdown in Lasa

A little earlier than planned, the best natural track luge athletes in the world are meeting in Lasa these days for the World Cup finals. Because the World Championships in Umhausen had to be postponed by a week due to the weather conditions last weekend, the final planned for the weekend in the Vinschger tobogganing stronghold was brought forward. The 5th World Cup stage takes place on Tuesday, followed by the 6th and final World Cup stage on Wednesday. Laas returned to the World Cup calendar last season - as a replacement location for Zelezniki in Slovenia - after a 5-year break. The 859 meter long “Gafair” track offered one of the most exciting races of last winter: Third place after the first run, Michael Scheikl (Austria), celebrated his second win of the season, ahead of Patrick Pigneter (Völs) and Thomas Kammerlander (North Tyrol). . Scheikl, of all people, is also ahead in the overall World Cup this time. The Austrian leads after four races with 355 points, followed by Patrick Pigneter (310) and Villandro Alex Gruber (260). Lanthaler is the big favorite In the women's single-seater, Evelin Lanthaler from Passiria won last year by over a second ahead of the Austrian Tina Unterberger. Greta Pinggera from Lasa came third on her home track. Lanthaler leads the overall standings with 400 points, ahead of her teammates Greta Pinggera (340) and Daniela Mittermair (260). The woman from Passiria, who has won all four races so far this season, is once again the big favorite for overall victory. In the doubles, Pigneter/Clara lead the overall ranking with 385 points, ahead of the two toboggan brothers from Villnöß, Patrick and Matthias Lambacher (300). Lanthaler and Pigneter strong in training The first training sessions took place on Monday. In the women's race, Lanthaler was ahead in both races, Pinggera came in second in both races. Nadine Staffler, another local hero from Lasa, would like to have a say in the podium places. She took third place in the second training session. In the men's race, Pigneter achieved the best time in both runs. Together with Florian Clara, the Völser also achieved the best time in the first run in the doubles, and Lambacher/Lambacher achieved the best time in the second run.
