It's interesting how luge announcer still prounounces Zmij as Zmizh.

Cool, Steu/Koller 0,003 in front of Eggert (broken leg)/Benecken and 0,033 ahead of Yuzhakov/Prokhorov. That's Austria, Germany and Russia, which are followed by Latvia, Italy, Poland (, Germany) and USA

That was a horrific crash.

Rieder/Kainzwaldner. I'm guessing they're ok, we're 5 minutes later and the competition continues.

Great result for P/M.

Best result for them in the World Cup. 

 

Also  Steu/Koller secure their first World Cup podium and victory.

Unfortunately couldn't watch today. What happened with Wendl/Arlt and Sics/Sics in first run? Why so poor times?

Ice preparation on the track is somewhat weird this year. Particularly in the first corner, which caused a lot of problems for Igls standards.

Up to 5th.

 

lucky day on "her" track...

 

let's see if she can do the same (if not better) on the other tracks around the world...

 

and if she can perform consistently, which has always been her main problem in this first part of her senior career...

 

p.s. after her result, I'm even more convinced that Hofer would have been really close (if not on) the podium today...
