Record-breaking world champion Francesco Friedrich still has plans for the next big victories. Already at the World Cup final from March 21 to 23 in Lake Placid, one piece of the puzzle is missing from his title collection. Although the overall World Cup victory in the small and large sleds is almost out of his reach, he has never won the four-man bobsleigh on the track at Mount van Hoevenberg. "If we can't do it now at the World Cup final, then at the latest at the World Championships next year. That's another track we're missing. Lillehammer will probably also be in the World Cup next year, so we still have to win in the doubles. We still have a few tasks to complete," said Friedrich on Sunday in Winterberg after his fifth World Cup double.
World Cup final in Lake Placid:
The two crystal globes for the overall victory in the two-man and four-man bobsleigh are more or less already in the bag. Also because long-term rival Johannes Lochner was unable to start after his crash in Altenberg. "Nothing can go wrong now. But you also have to say that it's because of Hansi's crash. Otherwise we wouldn't have had a chance in the two-man bobsleigh."
