Thomas Steu and Lorenz Koller secured the overall World Cup in Innsbruck on Sunday. The ÖRV duo took second place in the sprint at Igls and cannot be eliminated from the front in the last race. Steu / Koller are the first World Cup national champions in doubles since Wolfgang and Andreas Linger in 2012.
“It’s very big, I think I’ll have to let that sink in first,” Steu said immediately after in an interview with ORF. Koller was also “a bit speechless. After last season, when we had to leave due to injury, that is very special. “
The victory went to the Latvians Andris and Juris Sics, their advantage over Steu / Koller was only one thousandth of a second. The third place went to the Germans Sascha Benecken and Toni Eggerten. The Austrian duo Yannick Müller / Armin Frauscher finished eighth.
Egle sixth
Tyrolean Madeleine Egle finished sixth in the single-seater competition. Her deficit over winner Natalie Geisenberger was 0.501 seconds. With Julia Taubitz, another German (+0.082) and the American Summer Britcher (+0.286) they landed in the other places of the podium. Hannah Prock (+0.744) and Lisa Schulte (+0.880) finished 17th and 19th and thus did not qualify for the sprint decision.
“Sixth place is not bad,” Egle said in an interview with ORF. “I am not entirely satisfied because there were some little things. Igls is a track that is not that technically demanding, which I really don’t like. “
