Jacqueline Pfeifer took second place in the overall World Cup with her victory at the World Cup final in Altenberg. The 30-year-old from RSG Hochsauerland, who also won the opening race on the new Olympic track in Cortina d'Ampezzo, is therefore heading to the Winter Olympics with a good feeling.
"I'm very happy right now. The second run went well for me, but I also knew that I had to improve at the start," said Pfeifer and emphasized: "That gives me a good feeling for the Olympics." The Olympic silver medallist from Pyeongchang 2018 set a track record in the final run in 57.06 seconds and relegated team-mate Susanne Kreher to second place by 0.33 seconds. Belgium's Kim Meylemans came third, winning the overall World Cup ahead of Pfeifer by just five points.
