Egle sisters celebrate double victory at the Rodel World Cup in Innsbruck!

That has never been! Madeleine Egle impressively demonstrated her dominance at the Rodel World Cup in Innsbruck-Igls on Saturday with an outstanding performance. With a win of 0.24 seconds ahead of German Julia Taubitz, she not only secured her 13th World Cup victory, but also set the course for a brilliant season. "It is really cool that the speed is back," beamed Egle, looking proud of her fifth victory in Igls, which was of great importance for her self -confidence after three missed doping tests. As the best Austrian, the individual world champion and teammate Lisa Schulte took third place, in the tradition of strong achievements of the Austrian toboggan team, which also shone on the extended train in Igls this year, as the reported the press.

The Egle sisters are the dynamic duo of the day. Selina Egle and her partner Lara Kipp also landed on the top podium in the double-seater competition and thus secured the highest place among men, where Thomas Steu and Wolfgang Kindl ranked third after initial difficulties. "It all fits together," said Selina Egle about her successful run. Her joy was unmistakable, especially after a difficult last year in which injuries had clouded the sporting progress.

missteps and challenges

But not everything was perfect! The red-white-red team relay with several mistakes only came to fourth place and missed the podium around a touch. Wolfgang Kindl, after his severe fall on Saturday, also had to fit due to injury. In a competition with high requirements, such as the Kleine Zeitung , it can already be seen that the tension in tobogganing is unbroken. Despite the falls, such as that of Juri Gatt and Ricardo Schöpf, who plunged on the way to a new best time at the entrance to the first labyrinth, the enthusiasm for the upcoming competitions remains unbroken. With each race, the athletes face new challenges and prove what is possible in tobogganing. The next stop: the World Cup in Winterberg, which is also held as an EM!
