Drama at the World Cup of four: Fall provides gripping decisions!

At the Four Erbob World Cup in Winterberg on January 9, 2025, last year's world champion Francesco Friedrich had to accept a surprising defeat. Despite strong performances, he took second place and had to give up the British Brad Hall, who won the race with a gap of only 0.16 seconds. Friedrich thus missed his fifth victory in the sixth season race.

Third place, Adam Ammour secured the winner with a gap of 0.48 seconds. Johannes Lochner rounded off the result for the German athletes and landed in sixth place, 0.72 seconds behind Hall.

unexpected incidents affect the competition

The competition was also clouded by a serious accident of a lane slide, which caused an interruption of about an hour. An inmate of the lane bob required medical care. Further accidents occurred during the second round: Dutch athlete Dave Wesselink and Canadian Patrick Norton fell with their teams in the lower part of the train. Fortunately, all eight participating athletes were able to leave their sleds independently after the falls.
