Wendl/Arlt crack record: sixth overall World Cup win!

Peking, China - The German racing tobogganists Tobias Wendl and Tobias Arlt wrote history! At their last competition on the Beijing Olympic railway, they secured the overall victory in the World Cup for the sixth time. With an impressive lead of 0.158 seconds you won the title in front of the Letten Martins Bots and Roberts Plume. This impressive performance takes you to second place in the Eternal Bestlist, just behind the South Tyroleans Hansjörg Raffl and Norbert Huber, who could bring it to eight overall World Cup victories, such as reported.

With her fourth win of the season, the duo crowned an outstanding season. While Wendl and Arlt celebrated on the train, the other two German athletes, Steu and Kindl, experienced a setback: after their victory in Pyeongchang, they did not find their way around China and drove their worst season results after they had joined the gang several times. Nevertheless, they ended the season strongly, as ORF TIROL reported.

In the shadow of the double seats, the individual starts are not still. Toni Eggert, the record world champion, ended his comeback season with a new partner, Florian Müller, in third place in this competition and fourth place in the overall World Cup. The most recent dominating world champions Hannes Orlamünder and Paul Gubitz only ended up in tenth place, but were still able to claim their fifth overall. The one-man world champion Julia Taubitz also shone with her fifth overall World Cup victory, four of them in a row. These successes raise the question of whether Wendl and Arlt will continue to sit in the sled in the upcoming Olympic season-a decision that is still pending but is considered likely.
