Bob-European
Friedrich, Lochner and Nolte get EM titles in the bob
All European Championship titles in Lillehammer go to the Germans. Johannes Lochner used his four-person bob for a World Cup announcement. Laura Nolte dominates with the EM double for women.
Johannes Lochner prevented Francesco Friedrich’s European Championship double with a furious final ride. The Berchtesgadener caught the Saxons from Pirna, who won one in the four -way bob after a run, with a five hundredth -a -second lead in the day before in the two -way bob in front of Lochner.
So Lochner with his crew Florian Bauer, Jörn Wenzel and Georg Fleischhauer won his fifth European championship title in the premier class in four. At the same time, it was his first World Cup victory in the big sled this winter. At the same time, the Swiss Michael Vogt and Briton Brad Hall landed in third place. Adam Ammour came up five on World Cup and EM rank.
Lochner also wants to triumph at World Cup
“It was just awitch this season, so many races went wrong. That’s why it is better that we are slowly going on track. It’s just perfect for the World Cup, it goes in the right direction. We know that we can at the World Cup to ride the victory, “said Lochner.
Friedrich said before the World Cup final this weekend at the 1994 Olympic Railway: “In the first run we had a good distance to the others, in the second run Hansi was quite on the pelle. Of course that doesn’t suit us either .
Nolte also wins in the two -way bob
Laura Nolte was the only German with the EM double. After her title in Monobob, she also won the victory in the two -person bob. The two-man Olympic champion of Beijing won the two hundredths of a second ahead of Kim Kalicki and Leonie Fiebig with shearer Leonie Kluwig. Lisa Buckwitz from BRC Thuringia and Kira Lipperheide rounded off the perfect German performance.
“We are really happy, I’m really satisfied with the start times,” said the 26 -year -old Nolte, who drove with a view to the World Cup in Lake Placid without a regular Deborah Levi, who is supposed to prepare for the title fights. In the two-way bob, it was already the fourth European Championship title for Nolte, who also expanded her lead in the overall World Cup with the fourth win of the season. Buckwitz leads in the overall classification in Monobob.
