The Saxon remains the dominator in the ice channel and secures its seventh world title in a row in the four in Lake Placid.
Bob dominator Francesco Friedrich has secured his 16th World Cup title in Lake Placid with a demonstration of power. In the four, the Sachse once again left his long-term rival Johannes Lochner on the demanding Olympic railway from 1932 and 1980 and triumphed a week after the victory in two in the royal discipline-for the 34-year-old it was the seventh World Cup success in a row.
One day after the concrete chaos – the second run was canceled after Lochner had driven over concrete with melting ice in curve and had “the whole rear body” – Friedrich and his shots Matthias Sommer, Alexander Schüller, Alexander Schüller and Felix Straub expanded the lead of 0.29 seconds before Lochner in the third run, in the fourth run he risen nothing more and in the fourth run At the end of 0.28 seconds before the Berchtesgadener. Third place went to the BraTe Hall (+0.48). Adam Ammour from BRC Thuringia missed the podium as fifth (+1.18).
In the case of clear plus degrees, the decisive runs among men, unlike on Friday, went over the stage without major occurrences, but the railway was visible with the progressive race. Lochner started his bob with a replacement skating and a new nose after he had also kicked a hole in the sled on Friday. He couldn’t keep against Friedrich on Saturday.
