As happened last week in Winterberg, Germany also dominates the stage in St. Moritz: for the German team we are at twelve victories among men and six among women.
Francesco Friedrich makes forty-eight career victories in the World Cup, beating the record of brakeman Kevin Kuske; never anyone like him.
Yesterday the thirty-year-old German triumphed clearly in the two-man bobsleigh race, ahead of compatriot Johannes Lochner by 45 cents. Canadian Justin Kripps completes the podium.
Today instead for Friedrich another success in the 4-man bobsleigh, after the victory of Winterberg (also valid for the European title) last week, which came in front of the Austrian Benjamin Maier and the Canadian Justin Kripps.
Back the only blue in the race, Patrick Baumgarten, 17th.
In the women's race another German squad, with Stephanie Schneider winning the second seasonal race out of two races. Second place for the American Elana Meyers Taylor, third for the Swiss Melanie Hasler. Kim Kalicki was absent for technical choice, who before the race was the leader of the World Cup, where Katrhin Beirl now commands, now tenth.
Two mono-bobsleigh World Series races were also staged over the weekend. In St. Moritz the victory went to the American Kaillie Humphries, ahead of the German Laura Nolte and the Swiss Martina Fontanive. In Park City, on the other hand, success for the hostess Nicole Vogt, in front of the Jamaican Carrie Russel and the Brazilian Marina Silva Tuono.
