Too many mistakes! Steu/Kindl third overall in the World Cup
Austria's artificial track lugers have claimed two podium places in the men's single at the World Cup final in Yanqing. Former World Champion Jonas Müller and his Tyrolean compatriot David Gleirscher were only beaten by Max Langenhan on Sunday. The German secured his second overall World Cup win in a row with his fourth victory of the season. In the doubles, the ÖRV duo Thomas Steu/Wolfgang Kindl were unable to finish higher than fifth on the 2022 Olympic track.
Müller finished 0.532 seconds behind the superior World Champion Langenhan. Nico Gleirscher finished fifth, missing out on an attack on the big crystal globe. However, the World Championship bronze medallist finished the World Cup season in second place overall, better than ever before in his career. With Müller in fourth and Kindl in fifth, three Austrians finished in the top five in the overall standings. 2018 Olympic champion David Gleirscher also finished eighth after his third podium of the season.
Steu/Kindl third overall in the World Cup
Steu/Kindl, who won the overall World Cup last year, finished third overall this time. In Yanqing, they recorded their weakest result of the season after making mistakes in both runs. A week ago in Pyeongchang, the Vorarlberg native and the Tyrolean had triumphed. The Germans Tobias Wendl/Tobias Arlt, who were victorious in China, claimed the sixth overall World Cup of their career and are already joint second in the all-time rankings behind the South Tyroleans Hansjörg Raffl/Norbert Huber (8).
Steu/Kindl, who touched the rail twice in the same place, were followed in the final standings by Latvians Martins Bots and Roberts Blume, who also came second in the final. Finally, a team relay is on the program from 2.30 pm, in which Austria could still snatch the World Cup from the Germans with a victory.
