Bobsleigh World Championships
Katrin Beierl ninth in doubles in Lake Placid!
Katrin Beierl finished in the top ten at the Bobsleigh World Championships in Lake Placid with a German triple success in the women's two-man!
The Lower Austrian finished in ninth place after four runs with her Jamaican pusher Christania Williams. Laura Nolte became world champion with a clear lead over her compatriots Kim Kalicki and Laura Buckwitz. Beierl finished over three seconds behind the German winner.
The 31-year-old had complained of a headache the day before after her helmet had been twisted in the second run. On Saturday, she initially posted the seventh-fastest time, but only managed the twelfth-fastest time in the decisive run after an early mistake.
Friedrich took the next gold
Francesco Friedrich won the aborted race in the men's four-man bobsleigh. After three runs, the German beat his compatriot Johannes Lochner by 0.28 seconds to take his 16th World Championship gold in the chaotic race. The second run on Friday had been canceled because the ice channel had suffered so much from the sunny weather that some of the racers had skied over bare concrete.
Austria's foursome around Jakob Mandlbauer did not even start on Friday. "Four out of five pushers are either ill or injured, which is why a start at the World Championships was not possible," explained national coach Wolfgang Stampfer.
