World Championships in Latzfons: Gold for Lanthaler, Gruber and in the team competition

The World Cup dominator Evelin Lanthaler has now also been crowned world champion. In Latzfons, the Passirian woman left her competitors – especially Greta Pinggera from Lasa – behind her and took the gold medal. With a big lead of 1,89 seconds, the world title clearly went to Lanthaler.

Silver also went to South Tyrol, as Pinggera narrowly beat third-place finisher Tina Unterberger (Austria). With Alexandra Pfattner and Daniela Mittermair, two other South Tyroleans ended up in the top six.

Gruber is crowned world champion There was also a South Tyrolean success among the men. The 26-year-old Alex Gruber from Villandro prevailed by one second over the Austrian Thomas Kammerlander. However, it wasn't enough for the men to win two South Tyrolean medals like the women's. Florian Clara narrowly missed out on bronze and had to settle for the “tinny” fourth place. Third place went to the Austrian Florian Glatzl.

The tragic hero in the men's single-seater race was Patrick Pigneter from Fiè. The most successful natural track luger of all time, who achieved the second best time in the first run on Saturday, was eliminated in the second round due to material problems and had to prematurely bury his medal dreams.

The trio Evelin Lanthaler, Patrick Pigneter and Alex Gruber triumphed with a time of 3.11,95:2,78 minutes, thus ensuring a crowning conclusion to the World Championships in Latzfons.
