A historic success, the one gained today on the Winterberg gut, for the fourth stage of the Skeleton World Cup.
The women's race, in fact, saw Kimberley Bos triumph, the first athlete from the Netherlands (including the men's sector) to win a victory in the maximum circuit; the orange champion, eight times on the podium without ever cheering and leader of the general classification, literally dominated by finishing in the lead the first run with the track record, to then repeat herself in the second, further lowering a record that, a few minutes earlier, Elena Nikitina ( in furious comeback from the 14th to the sixth square) had retouched.
Bos will win with a margin of 25 cents over Tina Hermann and 29 over the Canadian Mirela Rahneva, while Germany also places Jacqueline Loelling at the foot of the podium, fourth at + 0 ”32 ahead of the American Uhlaender and Nikitina.
Valentina Margaglio scored a good 8th place (6 tenths behind the winner), ninth after the first run and able to improve a lot in the second, while Alessia Crippa placed 19th.
At the male level, absolute domination for Alexander Tretiakov, with the Russian who ruled Axel Jungk by 29 cents and the other German Christopher Grotheer by 59 cents. Amedeo Bagnis, 15th, is the best blue with Mattia Gaspari, 26th, who missed the second run.
